| Don't cheat, and the other partner cheated and that was where problems began |
I had a nice day last Sunday; went
to church, shopping, and hanged out with a great friend. On my way home, I
decided to root-in on a friend in his house. When I got there, he was very
high, higher than the clouds in the sky and I don't know if you really got it,
but he was really high. Besides how high he was, he wasn't happy as he often
appears anytime we see each other.
Of course I had to make some
inquiries to why he was in such a dilapidated mood. At first he didn't want to
say a word or in other words, he was trying to ignore me. But as I dig into him
with curiosity and in my own nice way, he began to open up.
So tell me, what’s wrong with you
man? I asked and he said well, his girlfriend he hasn’t seen in few days
promised she was going to visit him the previous day but she didn’t and as he
was working in the afternoon, he received a text message from her that was
meant from another man. He said he couldn’t go further in details to tell me
more about this so call text message but it indicated that he was being cheated
upon by his girlfriend with another man.
I tell you dud, I have never seen my
friend in that mood before and the way he spoke I could feel some pains in him
and it convinced me he was seriously
hurting and that is why I meant by our happiness depends on one another. There
is something about love that many people don’t understand. But when you are in
love, you are in with all of your being. Your heart can’t be an exception so it
is painful when you see how unfaithful your partner can be to the extent of
going an extra mile to cause you so much emotional trauma. The actions of my
friend’s girlfriend automatically caused him some sever pains and he could
hardly handle it. But before his friend could do such a thing, he was often
happy when she visits him, the friendship and companionship was enough to make
him happy. Therefore we can’t stand alone or be happy completely by being
isolated like islands. One of the reason why God created Eve according to the
book of Genesis in the Bible was that, Adams who was the first man to be
created was lonely and God saw it and made him asleep so that, He took Adam’s
rib and made a woman from it and when Adams woke up, he had a woman as his
companion. So if you have a girl friend or a wife and get to have her cause you
such emotional pains, then it is worthy of putting off a sad face and the worst being suicide. I have
heard time and again the number of people who had to take their lives simply
because their partner has betrayed them in a form of cheating and other things.
It is a sad analysis but I believe
many people often fails to reason before they act. The evil we do will always
live upon us or haunt us in one way or the other in future. See what happened
to my friend’s girlfriend, she cheated without her friend’s notice but God been
so good, she sent the text by mistake to him instead of the man she cheated him
with. She devastated him and devastated herself because she wanted the whole
affair concealed without her friend’s knowledge. Why did she intend to hide? She
did so because she wanted to keep deceiving him that she loves him. This is
again where light comes in as the truth and unfortunately, no partner will have
the courage to go out and cheat and be able to come back to tell their spouse
the truth. But the truth will always triumph in the end. So the earlier we
embrace the truth and desist from our crooked ways the better. When we learn to
live on mindfulness, we will know that others lives depend on ours, and when we
misbehave they suffer besides our own suffering all as a result of the fact
that we failed to think before acting. See Thich Nhat Hanh (The Buddhist Monk),
his fascinating book, The Art of Power
So my dear readers, it is my believe
that no matter where we are and what we do, we will always have people around
us and we there not play with other people hearts as we can easily damage them
for life. Life is precious even to the murderer.
Talking about murder, earlier this
week, Sunday to be precise, a young man in his 40s believed to be a White
Supremacist invaded the Sikh l temple in Wisconsin and made a way with 6 lives
and many others wounded. This came at a time when another gun related killings
is still pending court hearing in Colorado, yes that happened exactly 16 days
before this one also happened.
We must learn regardless ones gender,
race, class, religion, we are all one in the sense that we all have the same
feelings and want to live in peace, freedom and live our daily lives without
fears. The pain and loses those people will have to bear will automatically
spill over to all around them. So it is a high-time men of wicket intentions
and mean-spirited learn to be mindful and think deep beyond their own truncated
desires and selves. This is where someone could chip in to call them egoist and
not to misplace the word on someone who works with others day in and day out to
make sure they succeed.
God have mercy on the lost souls.
