It doesn't have to be much, sometime's it is just us trying to fight and fight, inorder to get more, even when it is not necessary.
But, am i different from this act? No, as a kid, i used to refused gifting, my understanding back then was that, nobody should go close to what I have, even when I did not had use for it, I recalled that i mostly wrapped my hands around the items, so that it continues to be in my position, while i sleep.
The habits was making me to put myself in stress, for a thing I should not have given a thought of that nature, "why not free with things? I asked myself this question, and it was from that moment that i make another style of life, and refused the act which I was fond of, because it was like becoming a problem to me.
This wasn't so common to come by, but I realized myself as I came to understand those things were not a great acts, and then, get off from them.
Since then, I am living with ease, take things very simple, live and be grateful at every corners, and also, see myself as someone great, because the feelings of greatness has to be there in us, so that we do not feel nothing good is happening in our life's.
It all in our mindset, that is where it start from, and we can not fight it, if we did, it's going to feels like the whole thing we are doing is going to be down, and nothing more.
Life is just the way we see it, if we see it to be something harsh and stingy, believed me, the person with that mindset is going to lived a stingy and harsh lifestyle, and for anyone who see it to be something beautiful and grateful, all his activities are going to be beautiful, and gratefulness are going to follow him or her.
So, on this particular day, we went to the farm to cut some firewood, and i saw that two mangoes fruit, I picked them, and washed with the water that we carry in the bottle.
I ate it and gave one to my friend, he was surprised, because he assumed, he has eaten mangoes than me this fruit season, and so, he was expecting I ate the two mangoes, but even as that, I could not eat alone.
Because he ate mango more than me this fruit season does not mean anything, there are still mangoes fruit out there, I am sure we are still going to eat more fruit's, besides, I have learnt that there is love in sharing what we have, no matter if it is small.
We do not have to allow that mindset that he/she has eaten more than us, we should be happy with the little we have and hope for more good thing's to come.
Who knows, it might be because i shared the mangoes with him, it makes us lucky to pick another mangoes, and on our way to the house, i was happy.
I do not know who needs to hear this, food or anything eatable taste very delicious when we give some to people, eating very much will make us tired and sleepy, and the good taste of that fruit, or food will not feel better again.
I can recall from those years when we used to shared our soaked garri and geisha, it was always delicious, eating with friends.
