Hello everyone, Hope you are doing very well and that your day. It is going on very well too.
Childishness is a show of immaturity in actions and in words; it is when one thinks that everything should always be about him or her; it is when we do not consider the next person in actions and in whatever we say.
There are times we need to let go of some things so that peace will reign, but a childish person will not do that because he or she will feel that he cannot drop his ego, so he would want to really do what was actually on his mind.
For me, I was battling with MALICE; it was so bad that if I didn't want to talk to you, I would just make sure that I did not come close to you. I know how I used to keep malice with my siblings, and we will wait for the person that will greet the next person first. We were just there exhibiting childishness. We would have a fight together in the house, but when we go out of the house, anyone who wants to fight with any of us will be very unlucky because we will not care whether we are not talking; we will beat you up. At the end we will not still talk to ourselves.
Malice is something very devilish. I mean, it makes you miss what you are supposed to have gotten just because you are not talking to this particular person, so you cannot ask him or ask her for help. Malice ate my life to the point of me always staying alone, like I just thought I wanted myself alone, not knowing that nobody can actually be an island; you need people to be there for you, and people also need you to be there for
I remember that, when I was at the university, malice would have cost me my exams. I disagree with a colleague of mine; we were just arguing about something, and it got into a very big fight that made me not talk to him for a very long time. He tried coming closer, but because I wanted to show him that I have an ego, I didn't want to get close to him again. So on an exam day, I was not in town, and he was the one assisting the lecturer who took that course. I didn't actually know the time for the exams, so he called me to tell me to come to school because I think he checked the exam hall and did not see me. When I saw his call, I did not pick it up. None of my friends took the course with me because it was an elective, so I was just in the hostel still reading. As I did not want to pick up the call, he sent me a message and told me that they were thirty minutes into the exams.
I jumped up and ran to the exam hall, and it was true; I just learned my lesson about keeping malice and not forgiving.
Life has not promised that people will not hurt us, but it should be in our place to forgive and move ahead because you may not know how that person will be a help to you.
I invite @hively, @johnuko, and @perfect2 to join this initiative.

Malice is a childish behaviour but a lot of adults still engage in it. So bad
Malice is a very bad thing. I am grateful to God that I was never a fan of it. I don't see any reason why I shouldn't talk to anyone because we are having a misunderstanding.
Imagine you missed that examination,what would you have done? I am glad you grew.
Thanks for sharing
Yeah, thanks for stopping by
I can totally relate to this. It existed among my siblings and I as well. We could have a little misunderstanding and it could take us days before it phases off. Both parties involved feeling too big to talk to the other first. Thinking about it now, I'm glad to have outgrown that stage.
Peace ✌️✌️
