Beyond Hate: Three Things That Get Under My Skin (and why)

There are a lot of things we do hate as people with passion; it can be physical things, it can also be a particular character of an individual or maybe a certain occurrence or way you get to feel at some point. In this post, I will be sharing some things that I really dislike hate and my reason for doing so. I will be sharing it in this pattern, one thing I dislike, one state/feeling I dislike, and one character I dislike. So, let's begin:


Would you live in a house full of cockroaches


When I first saw this topic, I sat and thought to myself what the 3 things are I hate the most in my life, and the number one (first thing) that came to my mind was cockroaches.

These small little beasts are so irritating that sometimes I wonder why the heavenly father created them and made them to look the way they are. They are so disgusting and so yak, I don't even have the word to describe them.

If I see a cockroach, there is always this urge to kill it, unlike any other little creatures. Last two weeks, I shared a post about trying to save a grasshopper from my friend who wanted to kill it, although he killed it anyway and I told him that grasshoppers are part of nature. Then, in less than an hour, I saw a cockroach and the first thing that came to mind was to kill it. This is so because of how much I hate seeing them, not to mention having to see one in my house.

This must be the most disgusting thing that has ever happened in my life: eating one. I don't want to share that story now. I have talked about it so many times and even written about how it happened. That day is a day that I will never forget and if someone were to ask me to talk about a day that is difficult for me to forget ever in my life, then the cockroach story will be the first I will talk about.


Imagine losing your sense of taste and the ability to breathe properly


As a proud foodie, one of the things I hate the most is not properly tasting the richness of food and that comes when I have catarrh. I hate being in those moments when I have a running nose and liquid is dripping off my nose. It is so embarrassing and lowers my steeze.

Imagine being in the middle of a large number of people and having to blow out your nose in a handkerchief so that you will be able to breathe well. I hate that feeling whenever I have to do that. Aside the embarrassing feeling alone, blowing my noise gives me headache.

I can remember the last time I had catarrh; I had it for over a month. It refused to leave me, no matter what drug I used. I usually was not motivated to eat because I didn't like the fact that I could not get the real taste of food.


Respect those above you but never look down on those below you


One kind of character that I dislike the most is looking down on those below you. I hate it when people treat others that may seem under their standard as someone who does not deserve to be alive. There are a lot of people like this, that treat people this way. They forget or may not seem to know that the position we find ourselves at this moment is not literally by our power but by the grace of God.

What people don't know is that looking down on people below you is quite synonymous to closing doors of opportunities. This is because the person we treat anyhow may have access what we are looking for and we also don't know where we may find ourselves in the future. People who are below us will not always remain the same. They can end up being in charge of the opportunities we may be looking for in the future or even have access to someone that they can recommend us to.

Aside that being a reason to not look down on people, courtesy demands kindness to everyone, no matter their rank. Respect everyone you meet no matter the status and be kind to everyone as well.

I cannot forget this day too when I mistakenly drank a water that was opened by me, not knowing these small insects had entered. I just took it and gulped it down my throat when I came back from school under the scorching sun, I couldn't breath when I discovered what had happened. I used toothbrush to force them out. Lol
I kept vomiting because it was so irritating.

The thought of killing comes to me also when I sight any cockroach, I hate to see them anywhere in my home.

I used to know one thing: this world is a small place and we will definitely meet with people and we don't need to look down on anyone or belittle them judging by the present when we don't actually know what the future holds.

I used to look down on people until life happened to me. Honestly, anyone can become anything in this life so we should treat everyone with love and kindness cos anyone can be anything

Yes. One of your point appeals to me as I go through your post this morning. Looking down on people that are under you. The world is actually moving round. It will one day get to your turn and you will be forced to feel the way others felt before.
Thanks for sharing and this is a call for us to treat others the way we will love to be treated by others. Why? Because in life you will always have someone ahead of you no matter your position.
