STANDING ALONE
People find it strange when we don't accept favours, but insist on going the long route. When we take short cuts or rely on others to open doors for us, not only do we lose out on the precious experiences giving us the solid foundation and background in the finer details of the direction in which we wish to follow in life, it also invariably has strings attached. The danger here is, we don't know what lays ahead -one hand washes another, but what will we have to wash ??
We tie ourselves with obligations to another and when payment comes due, we may not be willing to reciprocate, leading to much annoyance and ugliness. This starts breeding animosity between people and threats come into play. The long route is far better in the long run as we work our way to where we want to be. We learn the skills required for our purposes and obtain our promotions and employment in a honest manner without owing anyone anything. When we accept bribes and gifts to open doors for others, they may enter and cause enormous damage and somewhere along the line we are drawn into this - bribes blind our eyes to what is right and fair and lead us down paths best not travelled. So when we want a certain position we do the proper groundwork to obtain it justly and fairly through pur own merit and hard work. When we want possessions, we work in honest labour and save until we can buy it. This way nobody can ever lay a burden on our shoulders that we cannot carry....... we make our own way. Too often when payment comes due and we refuse to partake because it is dishonest, even criminal, our jobs, even families are placed under treat and we fall to destruction. Don't be caught up in this game at all - it always get dirty, very dirty. Make your own way honestly and steadily, OR STAY WITHOUT IT....you will still get there with your honour and conscience in tact...©Copyright
