In the farms of
those days; because there is nothing much to talk about, farmers’ people are
usually taciturn; and when you compare this way of life of the farmers, to the
towns’ people way of life, you can feel at once the difference. You see, when
you are in small towns, people converse a lot with each other, but in the farms
there seems to be a great silence of human voices, not only because there are
not many people to talk to, but also because those people that are there are
not interested in talking, since they are there to do their job and run the
farm. So, we who happened to be living in the farms when we were young, we had
to keep ourselves to ourselves, and this is how and why we became dull later in
life.
So, whoever has
happened to have lived in the farm as I did would have to become dull,
particularly if one was as young as I was and the few people around me were
much older than me, because as I said those people in the farms were there to
do their jobs, and therefore, they could not care about the young ones’ developing
social skills, because it had nothing to do with the running of the farm, and
because they didn’t know anyhow, so, they would go about doing whatever they
had to do, after all that was the way of life in the farms, and people accepted
it as being normal.
Today while I am
writing this article, I hate the way of life that I had to live in the farm
when I was young, because it made me then a dull person, not only then but for
most of my life.
Of my shortcomings,
I became aware even more, when I had to leave my farming life behind, since I
had to start a different way of life somewhere else. And since then, right
through my entire life I have tried to catch up with the rest of the community,
but it seems to me that I have never been able to catch up completely. So, this
is the reason why I hate that way of life; it is because such a way of life, can
only breed dull people; and so I became dull in the end; but I was not alone,
because all those youths which ended up like me working in the farm at a very
young age had to become dull like me.
But this is not all
that I could complain about; because, there were times when we went to town,
while we were there we could feel that the town’s people, would ridicule us for
being what we were, and this would hurt us very much, because it was not our
fault for being what we were.
This is a sad
story, But let us try to turn this negative aspect of life into a positive one;
because whatever we do there is a positive side to it; in this case the
positive side is that we have learned that we have to work hard to earn a
living, and we have learned to accept things the way they come to us. Now, by
using what we have learned, let us turn negative into positive wherever we can,
that would be the only sensible thing to do in life.

Turning negative into positive
Dear readers, life
can be extremely hard for every one of us, and I have had a large share of hard
life myself, for that reason I can cry my heart out for the consequences that
it created, but I am not going to surrender and continue to cry my heart out
forever; because I believe that we must try to overcome our inner pains,
therefore, from now on, I am going to try to turn this negative event of my
life into a positive one, that is the only way to go about with these things,
when they happen to us.
Now the story of my
life has many sides, one of which is that I had to work in our family farm,
when I was young, and there were some future problems attached to it. Because I
worked in the farm, when I was very young, during my life I have felt
disadvantaged for a long time, feeling disadvantaged is a negative thing, and I
have felt hurt even more because I was living in the farms without knowing the
consequences that could follow me, so, even today my heart wants to cry out,
but I am not going to let it happen in this negative way. Because I have made
up my mind that I am going to fight back, and try to turn a negative experience
into a positive one, I believe that this is the only way that makes sense and I
am going to do it anyhow. I know that what I am saying here may sound ridiculous
, but I am going to do it anyhow, as this is the only way that I can think, how
to break away from my negative feelings these days.
Now, I am going to
make an effort and break away from my old farm life and try to live a normal
life, therefore, I am going to turn negative into positive, as this could be
the only way to deal with my life drawback; so, in our next article, I will be
talking about, turning negative into positive.
