Legacy

Bootan da kun jaoy kaatubang…. It’s a sad fact that there are people who seem to be nice in front of you but hurls all the judgment to you when you are not around. These persons exist in our society and most of them cause some chaos in their lifetime – minor or major.

Gossiping shows the basic nature of human beings. We have a tendency to look into others’ lives. If it is others’ downfall people are happier! Even the trendiest social website Facebook is climbing success with the same strategy. Most of us will have a natural curiosity about what is going on with others.

Persons who thrive on backbiting are either psychologically disturbed or innately envious. They cannot fill in their inadequacies they start looking for others’ mistakes instead. Their existence will become meaningful when they can talk bad about someone! How unhealthy that could be!

When people feel bad about themselves, they sometimes will target other people to try to make themselves feel better. As a result, they talk about others as a way to deflect attention from themselves. When people are at the top of the social ladder or are determined to climb higher, they sometimes accomplish that by diminishing the status of another person (Gordon, 2020).

Still we need to understand that what we have done good will be the ones that count: not the mistakes, the hitches in one’s journey. That is why we have to consider nurturing each other rather inflicting pain. A person’s legacy must be the efforts he/she exerted on empowering others and helping them to become better individuals and NOT destroying them.

Biologically and socially toxic conditions interfere with successful development. They influence development of the affective/cognitive factors that mediate behavior (Flay et al., 2009) and can undermine the development of social bonds with others and counter the development of pro-social norms and skills (Flay et al., 2009).

Life is difficult these days. Let us not add toxic things around to ease the fear, anxiety and feeling bad due to our own inadequacies. Let us concentrate on how to BUILD than to DESTROY. Life is short you might NOT have the chance to become a good person.

In the end, you will only become a memory.

The question is: How will you be remembered by others?
