"Do unto others, what you want them to do for you".
This word is something I keep in mind always and all the time, conscious of what I do to others. Is it something I want to experience myself too? Will I take the pain if someone hurt me? There is something called "Empathy". Putting yourself in another person's shoes to feel what they are feeling. If it is good, then you embrace it and if not, you discard it and never think of hurting someone.
Even the Bible that says "Love your neighbor as yourself", Love is the greatest thing you could ever give to someone and when you do that, it is reciprocated back to you. Love and be loved brings happiness. If the world could choose love over everything, things would be in Unity, there would surely be peace among us.
If there is true love among us, would you ever think of planning evil? Would you ever want something bad to happen to someone? Would you even try backbiting? No! It can't happen because there is something big stopping you which is LOVE.
I was taught to love everyone and never to hate. In fact, reading the word of God where it says "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who hurt us", it has made me have the belief that it is until you forgive your fellow being before "The Father" could forgive you. You can't expect to find forgiveness when your heart is full of rage with another person. Forgive first, then you find God's forgiveness. That is simple!
I watched a movie of a dead man who was still roaming in the house because a ritual had to be performed for his spirit to rest but was not done by the first son. The man couldn't forgive his son. A small boy who lived with his parent in the house became friend with the spirit. The boy was hurt by his mother and didn't want to forgive her but this man taught him how to forgive but this boy having known the man's story and how he ended up where he was said something which touched me. He said "you asked me to forgive my mother, why don't you forgive your son too?"
The man couldn't say anything again. Yes, I felt the man's pain but he has to forgive his son.
Let me recommend the movie to you 😁 it's titled "Bhootnath". A Bollywood movie though.
I was loved yesterday and it's because of my attitude and character with them around me. Seriously, I was touched by it that I began to appreciate God for such behavior exhibited to others. Never in my life have I done bad to someone or act wickedly to another fellow. Pinch yourself and see how it hurts before pinching others.
I never thought I could do what I did yesterday. I overworked myself from morning till around 7pm before preparing my first meal. At that, I got people who came to help me all through and it feels like I wasn't the only one who did it.
Do you know it's possible to be left alone to do your thing when you are not nice to people? All your life, your attitude to people is cruel, you tend to chase people away from you. No one would love you and peradventure you find one who do, then you just have to be thankful because you surely will be changed by such person.
This is why I keep telling those around me that your behavior will say a lot about you. Behavior is the sum total of your thoughts, feelings and actions. If you are or aren't careful with how you think, you feel according to your thoughts and it then sprout out an action of either bad or good. Your behavior might be Adient or Abient behavior. You can check this post for the different types of Behavior I listed and explained.
So, perhaps your behavior isn't good towards people, you need to change because when you do, it's for your benefits because you will come across different connections that could take you higher in life. Our behavior shapes our destiny.
It's a new week and I am sure we are ready to make it worthwhile again. Christmas is approaching and I will keep wishing us Happy Christmas and New Year in advance till we have celebrated the seasons. I just can't wait anymore.
I already knew I won't have time yesterday to engage online as I already envisaged how things would turned out. At least I already bought some things to take home when traveling with me because my younger sister, the last born of the house has been disturbing me for months now saying I should get her things when coming. She doesn't want to understand I am a student who is also surviving here but all she want is to get those things she requested for. Perhaps I would go and steal to get them for her. 😅
That's all for today.
Thanks for reading
I want to use this moment to appreciate @Achi7 for renewing his Sponsorship again. Thank you very much from my heart.
That is why as the golden rule states "Do not do unto others as you would that they should do unto you" We should treat someone the same as we want to be treated because we all have differences and not everyone are the same as us.
