Heard that line before right?- that Charity begins at home..my take on this is that how can you be a responsible office worker if at home you can't even be trusted to take responsibility for small things? Ok, lets make it simpler...how can people expect you to be good-natured when the truth is whenever you're at home you are so grouchy and gets irritated with little things? How can you be friendly to people outside of your home when the fact is your family finds you unapproachable and they cower whenever you're around for fear that what they do or say might irritate you and make you burst in anger?
What you are at home - what you do, how you behave, how you speak- will somehow come out no matter how hard you try to act differently when you're outside your house...consistency is the key to being true to yourself...why pretend what you are not? because its part of the job? because you need to? jekyll & hyde- they do exist...woe to the person who lives with one...and be grateful you people who don't see the other persona ....good & bad may coexist- no need to look far...in one's self there is a little bit of both...now ask yourself...who are you really? is it the person the people outside your home sees or is it the person your family members see? living two lives, tsk tsk tsk....go easy on yourself and make that decision to be the one who you truly are and if it so happens that the real you is unpleasant then go ahead and do something about it...miracles do happen...change is a possibility...with God all things are possible!!!! then only then can it be said that indeed charity begins at home....
