All of us come into the world unspoiled, innocent and full of wonder and awe.....then along the way, something happens. We start to learn that there are other many ways to choose to live in this world and we develop a system or a series of personal beliefs to live by. Some of us stray to the left or right and don't come back thus becoming casualties of temptations....
The Devil and Daniel Webster....proves that....
Lying, cheating and stealing works.....Think about this. It works because people wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't. But what you don't find out until after you use these systems is that you pay a steep invisible price...a high price for their results. When dealing in the dark, one must pay the coin of the dark realm and it is not pretty plus is exacting to the penny too
YOU HAVE BEEN ROBBED.......but how..?
Now, your aura or innocence is further compromised. Your character has been injured and your peace of mind, calmness, and day to day existence is all in jeopardy. You have shifted into another set of rules and dynamics and it is not a respecter of persons...In this world, you are considered worthless and to be used, disrespected, and abused. You respond in like ways... Consequently, your only gain is the material rewards for which you sold out for....
I HAVE EVERYTHING and THEN I HAVE NOTHING.....
Have you ever heard it said that there is no rest for the wicked..? Haven't you seen decadence follow that which comes from getting something the wrong way? I have seen drug dealers, swindlers, and thieves build palaces, buy other people homes, and hold parties that come from them trying to purchase back something they lost in this dark bargain they made. They have everything yet it does not satisfy..thus they have nothing... (a paradox)
EARN YOUR WAY THE RIGHT WAY......
When I put in a full days work, and in that day.... I handled all that came my way and... in the doing of it I sought out what was fair, right, true, just and good, I then sit down to a meal. It can be rice and beans or a roast turkey. However, it always tastes sumptuous. It is very satisfying because I am eating more than just food. It is my reward for a good days work and it rewards me deep unto my inner parts as well. After that, a good nights rest and I am at it again....
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE AND YOU CAN TELL
I used to see people at Restaurants or Disneyland who you can tell that they saved for weeks or months to have their outing experience. They are grateful and happy to be where they are and to do what they are doing. Perhaps they don't order the most expensive thing on the menu, but they ate out and treated themselves. At Disneyland, they cannot afford to buy souvenirs, extra treats or perks....but they went and saw the sights and their rewards are just as meaningful if not more because they worked hard for it....
HONESTY IS STILL THE BEST POLICY
You can take shortcuts through life, but it is YOU who turn up short.....keep in mind that the little white lie does not spare you. It needs to be fed and joined by other white lies and then better and bigger until the father of all lies is in your nature. It is the same with taking something that doesn't belong to you. A piece of gum, a pen or paper from your boss, loose change if not yours, will cost you more than what their value is combined times a hundred. Cheating someone is not any better. While you got away with it, it got inside of you and now you are a cheat in expensive clothes or nice car. Putting a facade on your sin wont help you.
WHAT THEN...?
Ten cents or Ten million, we all die poor materially. That is a given. But those that acquire good character die rich and get to take that with them......May you prosper in this....
