How to handle rejections from the people?

Recently, I am facing several unexpected rejections from people around me. These people are not unfamiliar to me, they are co-workers, colleagues, but still it is happening. I along with another person was trying to host a summer BBQ. The BBQ event is generally fun during the summer time, and most people do it here. But, these people we invited could not make time for the event. Their causes might be legitimate, or might stem from a sabotaging mentality, I do not know.  May be, they have some other emergencies that need to be taken care of. But yes, when you live in a community, you generally share a common interest, and you sometimes make time for other people. For example, why do you visit other people's home? Its a formality, bond making, and a part of socialization. So, when you get rejected from people you know, you feel betrayed, and a sense of anger takes place in your mind on those people. You like to think that you will reject their next invitation, and take the revenge given the chance that the next invitation might or might not come at all.

Anyway, this is a temporary feeling, and people generally move on. People come and go from your life, and only a few will remain. We have this herd mentality, and believe in numbers rather than strength of the individuals. So, we feel content when we have a larger group. But, a pack of wolves is much stronger than a herd of sheep. Right now, we are going to the BBQ with 6 people which is good, but it could have been bigger. But yeah, it is what it is.

Handling rejection is not easy if you have not come from a background of tolerance. So, when dealing with the people, these tolerance and mutual respect are very essential. They can build good social relationships, and lack thereof can destroy them as well. But, red flag these people for their next encounter, and deal with them carefully.

Lastly, I am feeling happy that BBQ is still happening, and we did not totally fail. Actually, some people who rejected were probably wanting us to fail. We cannot let that happen! We are made for success, and failure is just a step towards it.


Happy summer!

Why do you believe in God?

Person 1: Do you believe in God? Why do you believe in God?
Person 2: Why shouldn't I believe in God?
Person 1: Did you ever hear from Him? Did you see Him?
Person 2: Did you see your grandfather?
Person 1: Nope. He passed away before I was born.
Person 2: Sorry to hear that? So, you never heard from him or saw him, right?
Person 1: Yes.
Person 2: Do you believe that he ever existed in this world?
Person 1: Yes, are you crazy? What kind of question is that?
Person 2: So, you never heard from him, and never saw him. But still you believe that he existed?
Person 1: Hmm, now I see where you are going.
Person 2:That's correct! That means human being can still believe in persons and things that he/she never experienced.
Person 1: This is different from God's belief I guess. My parents were born from my grandfather and grandmother. Of course they existed. This is tangible evidence. Where is your evidence?
Person 2: Good point. So, you are looking for evidence. You believe that your parents are the evidence for the grand parents?
Person 1: Yes. But where is your evidence for God?
Person 2: This world's existence is the evidence of God. If your parents needed the grand parents to be born, do you think the earth created itself alone? Of course not, the earth was created by someone, and I call Him God.
Person 1: Well, I do not buy that. I need more hard evidence? Like actual things from God.
Person 2: Like actual things from God? OK, I would say you yourself is an evidence from God.
Person 1: How is that?
Person 2: How old are you?
Person 1: 30 or 32 years.
Person 2: Can you remember when you started walking?
Person 1: Nope, but my mother does.
Person 2: Do you know when did you learn to speak?
Person 1: Nope, but my mother does. What's your point?
Person 2: You don't know when you started walking or speaking. Do you know when you were conceived in your mother womb?
Person 1: Nope, how am I supposed to know that?
Person 2: Exactly! You did not come to this world all by yourself. You are brought here with the help of your parents. Now, you also have been given some choices. So, your arrival to this world is the evidence that God has sent you to this world.
Person 1: Man, that is so lame!
Person 2: How is that lame? Which part is lame? You were looking for evidence. I have shown you the evidence. Refute it if you can!
Person 1: OK, see ya later.
Person 2: See you brother, peace!
