I shared the first part of this post yesterday and you can catch up with it here: Shocking Ways of Humans.

Not many people are happy with you for the kind of relationship you have, try to be careful with the kind of advice you take and the kind of people you keep close to you. When you know people for who they are, you can learn to keep certain people at arm’s length so they won’t mess things up for you because in the real sense, you never really know if they are secretly eyeing what you have, and the moment you let it go, they are ready to take it from there. Be wise.

I chatted with an old-time friend many years ago and I shared with her what I read on the WhatsApp status that I shared yesterday in the first part of the post and she opened up a can of worms about the things she has experienced in the hands of so-called friends. I was shocked beyond words.

She told me she had a boyfriend in school and this guy is spending on her and her friend sees that. I am sure at some point she must have told this lady how wonderful the boyfriend is, based on her friendship with her and she didn’t know this lady was secretly loving up on the young man too. As they say, everything is attractive to a lazy person.

She took the guy’s number from her friend’s phone and would be chatting and calling the guy without disclosing who she is. The boyfriend suspected and then told his girlfriend. She dialled the number that always chats with the boyfriend on her phone and alas! It was her friend. They kept quiet about it and they were watching how things will unfold.

One afternoon, the friend said she was going out to get some things not knowing she already planned a meeting with her friend’s boyfriend. The boyfriend kept her girlfriend in the know regarding everything. They met, they talked and the boyfriend left to go and meet his girlfriend. This lady stays with this betraying friend and housed her to help her yet she got betrayed like this by her. So, she allowed her friend's boyfriend to leave first and after a few minutes, she also left. She walked in while the boyfriend was talking to her friend; the girlfriend and she acted like that was the first time in a long while she has seen the guy, not knowing the friend already knew they met just a few minutes ago.

There are a lot of people that would smile at you but they are just waiting for you to fail. Once you have recognized them, don’t empower them by fighting with them. Don’t drag things with them or go down to their level. You were able to know who they are for a reason, so just be careful about the things you tell them. Keep them at arm’s length and wish them well.

They would want you to confront them so they can have the liberty to go all out and hurt you the more. Keep them wondering while you keep laughing them to sleep. Not everyone is happy with your relationship, so be guided and be smart. Always stay one step ahead. I don't know how some people have the conscience to sleep at night with such a level of betrayal.

Learn to give your all in any kind of relationship and be honest as much as you can. When you have an understanding partner then it makes it easier to filter away the dirt people might want to throw at you. You and your partner will just keep laughing at them and they wouldn’t even know. Thank God for such a boyfriend who can be honest and open about it else he would have been doing that on the sideline without the girlfriend knowing and it's a matter of time before the betraying friend harms the other one just to get her out of the way.

And for the mischief makers, if you spend the same energy on nailing a partner down as you spend trying to bring others down, you might as well have had a successful relationship too. You should be better and stop being bitter when things are going other people’s ways and it isn’t going your way, yet. Life is in seasons and your time will come; if you don’t ruin it by making everyone see how miserable and desperate you are.

Do something better with your life and leave others with their happiness. Yours will come too if you learn to mind your business. Being older than others doesn’t give you the right to poke your nose into their affairs. Act your age for once, except if you are younger, then I say, act mature. Age is not a sign of maturity just as fame doesn’t confer relevance. You might be cute but that doesn't make you funny. You might speak Latin but that doesn't mean you know how to speak. Spend time being a better person instead.

Thank you for your time.
