Good Or Bad, It Was Your Choice To Let That Person Into Your Life


When the people around us turn out not to be so good and treat us in ways we don't like, we often complain and whine about them as if we did not choose them to be a part of our lives in the first place.


When one gets into a romantic relationship with someone, for example, they get so attached that they start feeling as though they wouldn't be able to live without that person in their life, when in fact, they can continue living comfortably and happily.


But because we get emotionally attached to those around us, we feel we shall either have or keep those people forever.


What many fail to realize is that apart from family; everyone that is in your life - is a part of it because you let them be. Whoever is present in your life, you made a choice for them to be a part of it, therefore whether those individuals are good or bad people, you chose them.


If you are close to someone who betrays you, you chose that person.


If you are close to someone who genuinely cares for you, you chose that person.


There is no need to be whining about the bad people in your life when you have the choice to remove yourself from them.


Just because you were in a relationship with someone for five years does not mean when they badly treat you; you need to stick by them since you've been together for so long. An emotional attachment does not equate to being together forever.


But many tend to sacrifice their wellness and peace and act as though the people around them are there by not of their own doing.


The free will to choose applies to every circumstance. If you are happy with having a genuine person in your life, you are also equally accountable for having a fake person in your life.


Of course, some people change along the way, which is a part of life. Your choice can change too. The gift of free will comes with accountability, and it shall always be treated as such.


If you had a good lover that changed to be a bad lover, you chose that person unbeknownst to you that will turn out bad. Therefore, you can un-choose them. That is the power of free will.


No matter the condition or situation you may be in with another person, it is your choice to end up with that person.


Whining and complaining about the not-so-good people in your life only makes you look ignorant and unwise.


The most intelligent thing to do is to never let emotional attachment to things and people override your ability to be rational.
