WHO SHOULD ENJOY?
Thinking about myself sometimes, always feeling like I should not enjoy while others suffer. Our transport system by road in Nigeria sometimes leaves one no choice. Recently I traveled and through all the journeys I had the opportunity of taking the front seat. Sometimes I had to share the seat but most times had to sit alone (as the norm). At those points I hear grumbles from other passengers about aching legs, tight seats etc. and I tend to pity them and wish I could relieve them of the burden but my biggest concern was if it was right for me at that point to enjoy while others were in pain.
I always felt like I should not be in a state of convenience while others were passing through tortuous moments.
A friend calls it a disadvantage to introverts. Though I mildly disagree, but even if I give up my position in front, someone will still occupy it, while others and myself will remain and be in their pain*.
My candid opinion: if you always feel that way, it may mean you are concerned about the welfare of people; however, there are some things outside your control. At those points just hope for the best. I think that’s the best consolation
