Do as I say

You know it’s difficult at times to truly live according to one self’s maxims on life

Sometimes it’s not by choice but it does happen

We tend to expect others to be better than us

Now that’s a noble idea

But in the yes of others, do you know hat it simply says?

You live by do as I say and not as I do

That’s just how life is sometimes

When we look at someone else’s life it’s easy to be the judge and arbiter

But when we rate ourselves we go easy and justify most of our actions

Just reflect and you’ll see that at times you are just like most of us

Today I really wanted to start reading the book ‘The Art of War’

Why?

Somehow I’d just decided that it’s game on!

Someone got on my nerves recently and I’d decide to fight back

Then on closer introspection and cross examining my intentions

I stopped dead in my tracks

Am I not number one person to cry “forgive!”, “do unto others as you would want them to do unto you”

Then what was I about to do?

I’d have been the bigger fool actually

I’m glad I now take inventory before I do anything
