I was walking stairs and one gentleman was stopping in between. He was kind of blocking the path of the person who was after him. After sometime, I asked him, he did not say anything. The person after him smiled and said that he wants to slow me down. I asked why and he said that he is his son and it’s a game they are playing. But what I observed was, if you want to slow down others, you have to stop yourself first. One the other hand a gentleman was holding someone’s hand and pulling him up. It looked like it was slowing him down. But immediately I saw that the person after him also gave him a push and they both were laughing. This is how life is. You work on uplifting others and life will give you a push yourself.
It reminded me of all those incidences where I have seen people working against others and how they have doomed in life.
One brother was very jealous of his big brother. (Some how this thing is not very uncommon between two brothers. May be sibling rivalry is created by us only as a parent where we keep telling them all the time that see how the other one is better). So he always tried blocking his brother’s business. He would offer lesser price to the customer for the same product so that he could get his brother’s customers and many things like that. Eventually, after 3 years, his brother’s business was still flourishing and his business was under huge debts.
One lady after getting married, started plotting against her husband’s elder brother and family. Finally, elder brother’s family left. She had managed to keep entire stuff, so the elder brother left empty handed. Very soon, they were in dire need of money and selling household items.
If you really want to go up, work on taking others up. If you are plotting to bring others down, you are digging your own grave. Always remember that.
