Each day I meditate – hoping and praying that I’m doing the right thing and treating people the way they should or want to be treated. I’m grateful for every second, minute, hour and day that I’m with good health and able to understand the difference from up down, right left, right and wrong. Although I’ve been fortunate to be on this earth for 45 years, it still amazes me how conniving and deceitful people are; no matter if they are caught they will stick to their lies and deceit. What is the reason for this? Why do people live to be deceitful and forget that the word integrity and truth exists? When I come across these unrealistic humans that call themselves mankind, I can’t help but to feel pity for them although we should not pity any creature that was created by the hands of our creator. I pity them because they take such pride and effort in lying, but no pride and effort in being truthful. If they only knew the laws of Karma; what goes around often comes right back around. I do believe that these hateful and deceitful people actually believe that they are a cut above the rest. As each day permits me I will turn from these types without blinking or batting an eye. I will not call these lying and deceitful creatures by their name. When they look at me I will turn my back on them. I will not acknowledge them as humans, because these traits are not acceptable and often times not forgivable. If you are one of these types, recognize and admit your fault and try to succumb your ways and perhaps Karma won’t be so harsh when it’s your turn to receive back the conniving deceit you’ve given. Think about it. |

Christianity Do not wear yourself out to get rich; have the wisdom to show restraint. Do not join those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor. Buy the truth and do not sell it; get wisdom, discipline and understanding. Proverb 23.4, 20-21, 23 |
Judaism One should always be soft as a reed and not as tough as cedar. In the case of a reed, all the winds in the world can go on blowing against it but it sways with them so that when the winds grow silent, it reverts and stands in place. But in the case of a cedar it will not stand in place, but when the south wind blows against it, it uproots the cedar and turns it over. The Fathers According to Rabbi Nathan XLI.III.I |
Confucianism The superior man is on guard against three things: When he is a young man and his physical energies are not yet settled, he is on guard against lust. When he is mature and his physical energy is solid, he is on guard against being drawn into a fight. When he is old, and his physical power is weakened, he is on guard not to cling to his attainments. Analects 16.7 |
