Please.....

The question is.. Is it okey to please people? The answer is absolutely no.. hehe why? people perish, family and friends are finite. They all soon leave and die. They didn’t create heaven and earth, they don’t have the power to save you from eternal death and separation from GOD, they don’t have the power to give eternal life.. These people knowledge and understanding are very limited and no compare to GOD, their forgiveness could also be limited unlike the forgiveness GOD has. And always fear GOD for HE can take away everything from you in a second, not a man can do, so who do you think you should be pleasing? Why please man diba? It is not bad to be good and show kindness to people, as man we should know how to respect others as a sign of knowing and loving GOD, because he commanded us to love one another. Do you want to know some humanly and logically explanation why we don’t need to please people?
First if you please, then these people will like you, but if you stop, they would also start not to like you.
Second, if these people love, like and true to you, even if you don’t please them they will continue to love, like and be true you.
Third, you won’t be happy to forever please people, there will come a time that you will get tired of doing that.
Fourth, it will hurt you a lot if the person you are trying to please didn’t appreciate you still, or have shown appreciation yet in the end leave you still.
Fifth, you will somehow somewhat expect a little return for all the pleasing you are showing, and sooner your expectations will go big. You might get to the point of being demanding and disappointed and end up ruining the relationship that you have just established or founded.
Sixth, it’s not healthy.
Seventh, pleasing people doesn’t make any difference from a pet.
Eighth, what’s the point? Better question your motive of wanting to please, maybe self-centeredness? Self-interest? Selfishness? due to love? attention? position? friendship? purpose? benefits?
Ninth, sometimes you please people because of idolness, idolness could lead to worshipping and praising the person. And remember we should only worship one GOD and all praise should only be to our one GOD.
Tenth, pleasing people is pleasing to GOD? remember HE is a very jealous GOD… c”,)
