VULNERABILITY
As we live as we grow, we see life different from ours when
we meet people from different culture, race and nationality. Watching the
beauty painted all over the many life we are welcomed to be a part of and how
perfect we perceive them to be. We
compare our life with theirs and we become aware of our deficits that separate
ours from theirs and we attach our deficiency to life like poor life, unhappy
life, boring life and we compare our appearance with theirs and discover our
imperfection. What we see outside of us has made us feel weird, alienated,
apart from the world as everyone we sight seems to be without a spot of
problem, wrongs, imperfection or deficiency in their life.
The extinction of
vulnerability is killing others who can’t facade it and their eyes pull the
trigger. Social network facilitates this affair as Instagram
especially, is
loaded with posts of people with their perfect self and life. The reality of
not seeing anyone in our same kind of problem, imperfection, makes us nurture
the thought that it is only unique to us.
Everyone runs from being vulnerable, we do everything possible to hide
our vulnerability from others because our desire is to be part of the perfect
people and life we think to be real. We go to hide behind plastic surgery,
clubs, drug abuse, riches, enormous mansion and expensive cars and cloths,
working out at the gym, choosing certain kinds of dress to don. Everyone you
see in some area of their life is hiding.
As we choose to hide our vulnerability, we hide a part of us to become
someone else to fill up that gap because this part of us leads insecurity,
loneliness, alienation, and sorrow into our life and it becomes our weakness.
All our hide outs tells what we are hiding, being a clubber tells what
vulnerability we hide but our hide outs do nothing to eradicate the things that
makes us vulnerable, it just hides it from others seeing it but not from
ourselves and so it becomes a thing on the inside of us only known to us, that
part of us we hide is the thing that is inside of everyone. That part of us is
the deepest secret about ourselves that not even our family knows of because we
never live as that person or speak about that person to anyone and we do all of
these to keep living the life we get from our hide outs but how long are we
going to keep hiding? We will not be able to experience our life to the fullest
if we keep living the life we get from our hide outs.
LIVING WITH VULNERABILITY
Nick Vujicic is one of the most obscure motivational speaker in the world. Growing up with no hands or legs, he couldn't hide this part of him that makes him vulnerable. He struggled from his childhood to teenage life, in school and out of school. Imagine the trauma he went through, he tried committing suicide couple of times but here he is smiling and speaking to immense crowds. He wouldn't have become the best of who he is now if he didn't learn to live with his vulnerability and he did it by learning to love his vulnerabilities and having people love him with how he is.We can’t evict our vulnerability from our life but we can
love it. Loving ourselves makes us live with every part of us, it is only those
who do not love themselves that will try to fit into another body. The
vulnerable part of us must be loved to live with it openly and not allow it
make us insecure, lonely or unhappy and we can love it by appreciating it and
focusing more on the other part of us. Love exists when it is for the part of us we
hide. A man truly loves a lady when he loves the part of her she hides but we
hiding that part of us that makes us vulnerable, stops ourselves from being
loved. Don’t we all need love? This is the desire of the part of us we hide not
the other parts because they already got love.
