CRAB MENTALITY

Most people will always ask a question, that do crabs think? Crab think, act and they have a mentality. Take a crab and put in a bucket, it will come out successfully, but put seven to nine crabs in a bucket in a bucket, none of them will come out, as one is trying to come out the others are trying to bring that one down, if that one refuse to come down, the legs are broken and if the other persist, they combine force to bring him down and kill him, and by this none of them come out. Looking at this closely, in an actual sense we have human begins with type of mentality, they are not going anywhere and they do not want anyone to move forward in life, so as you try to move forward they try all their possible best to drag you back, this is the reason why people are where they are today. I have discovered that this kind of people they are not far from you, they look perfect and normally you cannot suspect them, they love you at your front and they stab you at your back and when people tell you what they are doing, you defend them with all your life. This is the reason why some families are where they are doing today, because they have killed their messiah that is to lift them up financially, because of jealousy. This kind of people will stay with you are hidden spy, they can stay with you for 9 years and be loyal to you, just to get the information to bring you down.

This kind of people wine and dine with your arch enemies, they come and tell you what people are saying about you, but my question is, if they were not there how will they know what people are saying about you, and this kind of people will speak negative of you when people are speaking evil consigning you, so they come to you to tell you so that you will feel they like you. We should understand that if you don’t deal with this kind of people they will deal with you. But if I sit and take a closer look at this kind of people, they don’t want to move forward and when someone is trying to move forward, they complain, they envy and plan to kill the person. This kind of people are stingy, they can’t give even as low as 50naira but when someone makes it in life, they complain. This kind of people can’t work and even if they work, they do what I call eye-service, they fight the hardworking ones in that organization for them to be promoted, this kind of people have a negative attitude, and they are proud, they feel they have the whole world on their shoulder. This is the reason why a brother will kill his brother, and turn his children to slaves, in their own father’s house just because of property and money. This kind of people when you make a mistake, they will tell the whole world and make you feel you are the worst person on earth. This kind of people won’t face their own problems, they rather talk about people who are moving forward in life, that is why they are always at the back, because they are talk about people at their front.

This kind of people it takes the grace of God to notice them, because they will smile and kill you, they will prepare a bed for you and hide dagger under the bedsheet. But one thing that they fail to remember that, there is nothing hidden under the sun, one day they will use their hand to cause a mistake that will disgrace them. They may feel that that they are dragging you back but they are helping you, they are your stepping stones to greatness. We should understand that this kind of people, they act based on the information they have, so in an actual sense, you need to act as a serpent, in other words, you need not to let people not know what you about to do next before you do it.

I will say when you notice anyone who envy’s you, not happy with you, run from them. People will ask me how can I notice those kind of people, they may pretend to be happy with you, but look into their eye balls, then you will see the jealousy, hatred and envy. I will end by saying that People with CRAB MENTALITY are always at one spot, and never move forward in life.
