Love Them The Way You Would Love Yourself.

**The beauty of a snake cannot change the fact that its venom is poisonous and deadly whenever it strikes.**  I have seen and heard of cases where a man was destroyed by a few woman because he mistook her beauty and gentleness to be weakness thereby throwing caution to the wind. Show me a man that threads with caution in dealing with women and I will show a great man.   In life, we must try as much as possible not to take people for granted no matter how feeble or harmless they may seem to us because every man or woman has a dark side which must not be allowed to rare its ugly head. When you make someone understand that you feel he/she cannot do anything to you which is the reason why you treated them like trash, you are gradually digging your grave unknowingly because a time will come when they will get fed up with all you are doing and boom; they will strike you even when and where you least expected.   **The irony of this is that you may not know that they were the ones that struck you because you have already believed or seen them as people that cannot do you any harm.**   **Be wise.** Treat every man and woman with equal respect and love in all you do. Most times we maltreat our maidservants, cooks and housekeepers forgetting that these people have access to not just our houses but our stomach which means that they may strike us where it hurts the most if we treat them like rags.   **Be wise.** Do not make enemies for yourself knowingly or unknowingly because the more enemies you have the more it becomes hard for you to protect yourself because you may end up not knowing all your enemies. Treat that maid, housekeeper, chauffeur, cook etc the same way you would want them to treat you at all times irrespective of your status or level in life.   Remember, no man is an island and life will be meaningless if you were to be the only man or woman on earth. **If you have made enemies unknowingly, try to reconcile with them because the enemy you make today may be the person who is meant to help or lift you in your time of need.** **Be wise…** First Published by me in uptrennd https://www.uptrennd.com/post-detail/love-them-the-way-you-would-love-yourself~ODIzNDMy Lead image source https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1584314991223-da020acbc179?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&ixid=MXwxMjA3fDB8MHxwaG90by1wYWdlfHx8fGVufDB8fHw%3D&auto=format&fit=crop&w=750&q=80
