I remember spending few years at home after my secondary school education. Gaining admission into the University was not a problem then but a challenge. I had a very close friend; in short my best friend then was privileged to gain admission before me. After few weeks on campus, she developed strange attitude towards me. She became another person entirely, she was no longer a friend I used to know. She no longer visit me at my house unlike before despite the fact that I visit her regularly . I asked her what the problem was, she opened up and told me she was no longer comfortable associating with me since we were no longer on the "same page". Ayokunmi, how will you expect me to mingle with you when you are still at home, struggling to gain admission! she said.
Honestly I was pained with her actions but decided to take heart.
A year later, I gained admission in that same school, and eventually graduated before her.
Some of us are equally guilty of this. Don't ever look down on anybody if you can't lift them up.
Life is dynamic and not static. Many times things aren't the way we see them, they might move and change within a twinkle of an eye. No condition is permanent. When you condemn a situation along with the person in the situation, you are only playing "god" in a condition you don't have power over.
There is this common Yoruba adage that says "A masquerade that dances first will become a spectator before the end of the contest". He who laugh last laugh best.
