Facing Oppression and Upholding Truth: The Struggle of Being Right

Have you ever faced opposition so fierce that it felt like an unrelenting force, defeating you and questioning your very existence? I have. In moments when seemingly everyone else believed I was wrong, I stood firm and endured ridicule and persecution. My story is one of not just resilience, but finding the strength to adhere to truth and integrity, even in the face of overwhelming hostility.

Fighting against Perception

Recently, when I told people about my current struggles, almost everyone assumed it was indicative of mental illness. However, the reality is far from that. I am in a situation that is far more intense than any nightmare and I find myself praying, unsure if I will survive this crisis. The pain and isolation are beyond measure.

A Rejection of Falsehoods and Misunderstandings

When I say that Jesus is Abibus, this reveals a deep spiritual struggle, a rejection of societal norms, and a search for authenticity. In my culture, arranged marriages are common, and my family was very invested in finding the best possible match for me. They saw a suitor from a good family background as an ideal candidate. Despite their insistence, I refused to conform, recognizing a superficial facade and a lack of genuine connection. Over time, this suitor confirmed my suspicions, proving unreliable and unlike the man I hoped for.

Standing Ground Against Opponents

Much like the struggles of adhering to one's beliefs, often, it's not just about being proven right or wrong. It's about standing up against opposition that is rooted in fear and ignorance. People often prefer drama and negativity over truth and honesty. In my experience, being honest and truthful has often led to conflict, especially with those who are afraid of the truth.

Bringers of Drama vs. Those of Integrity

Bragging and being overly confident is often a sign of inner insecurities and a desperate need for validation. On the other hand, a confident and gentle personality commands respect and garners genuine admiration. In my experience, being true to oneself and sticking to one's principles, no matter the cost, often brings the most respect and admiration.

Proving the Opposers Wrong

Multiple instances of being proven correct have occurred in my life, and when the others were so loud and closed-minded, they didn't even notice my proofs. When I'm right and the others are wrong, they often backtrack with excuses or outright lies, turning back the clock to moments when I was proven wrong, even though I was never wrong in the first place.

Being Right in the Face of Ridicule

When the others said, 'What do you know? We are smarter than you and know much more than you do,' it was frustrating to realize that my correct answers were seen as flukes, or that I had simply stolen the answers. Often, they were so mired in their own prejudices and judgments that they didn't even recognize when they were proven wrong. In these instances, I ignored the critics as they were more interested in stirring up conflict than engaging in meaningful debate.

In conclusion, the struggle of being right in a world that often values falsehoods over truth can be daunting. However, standing firm in one's convictions, despite the opposition, is something that can be both empowering and transformative. It may not always be easy, but it is undeniably necessary for one's personal and spiritual growth.
