Kindness Begets Evil

Kindness turns into evil
Cast divination for Monkey
Who was asked to offer 880 cowries
So that he does not lose his life over kindness
The monkey heard about the offering and performed it
One day, as the monkey passed by
He saw a leopard in a ditch, who could not climb out
The leopard begged for the monkey to help
So the monkey pointed his tail toward the leopard an brought the leopard out of the ditch
But the leopard did not release the monkey's tail
The monkey screamed: Yeee, Yeee!
Esu arrived and asked them for an explanation
The monkey explained himself
Then Esu asked the leopard to do the same
As the leopard was explaining
Esu said: No, didn't you see the monkey use hand gestures to clarify?
You need to use your hands to explain yourself
As the leopard clarified with his hands
The monkey jumped into the tree and started to cry out at the top of the tree to all little monkeys:
Kindness has turned into evil
Favor, favor, don't you ever offer favors
When the monkey reached the grasslands
He started to sing:
Pity me, pity me
Gently, the tail of Agan does not touch the ground
Gently

- Holy Odu OgundaMeji

It is a shocking experience when people do not value your efforts in the way that you expect them to. Stated another way, you will be disappointed when you make love to a person in the way you wish that they would make love to you, but somehow, they never figure it out. And so, you have a dilemma; either you withhold your kindness or you change your perspective and expectations. Either way, the choice is yours. Living the medicine means acceptance; accept the fact that you want to express kindness in a particular fashion. It also means you have to accept the fact that not everyone will repay your kindness in the way that you would like. In fact, some will even repay your kindness with evil.
