Have you ever received one of those form letters in the mail where you are told that there was a data breach and that your personal information may have been compromised? I know I have. I’ve received several of them over the years. Does it worry me? No, not really. I mean, all of our stuff is already out there. Unless you are living totally off the grid, everything about everyone can be found out.
 
It’s like, you give these massive entities your info. They claim they will protect it. They claim all kinds of things. But, the fact of the fact is, you are nothing to them. Just a cog in the wheel, if even that. Do they care about you? No. All they care about is whatever it is they care about. As long as you do nothing to cast a wrong their direction, they never even take you into consideration.
 
Have you ever had a family member or a close friend do something really fucked up? Maybe even something that negatively affected the evolution of your life. What did you do when that occurred? Did you stand by them? Did you forgive them? Did you help them through it?
 
…Yes, it may have pissed you off. …Yes, it may have even made you mad at them. But, when all was said and done, did you stand by them?
 
Did you ever do something wrong to someone else? Maybe it was intentionally, maybe it was unintentionally. But, did you ever do that thing defined by the realms of wrong? If and when you did, who stood by you? Who forgave you? Who helped you reclaim the right in your life and make it past your wrong?
 
Here lies the definition of a true friend. An individual who actually cares about you. Here lies the definition of who you actually are as a person and whom you care about. Did they stand by you? Did you stand by them?
 
If we turn this around just a little bit, how many times has some lashed out at you when what you said, what you did, they considered to be wrong? How many times did they refuse to stand by your side? How many times did they try to hurt you back?
 
How many times has someone done something to you that you consider to be wrong? What was your reaction? Did you immediately shun them? Or, did you forgive them and provide them with a second chance?
 
I believe for each of us, we have encountered the wrong done by others and the wrong others feel we have done to them. But, it is the what comes next that defines the everything else in the relationship.
 
Taken a moment. Really think this through. Who has wronged you? What was your next action?
 
Who have you wronged? What was their next action?
 
The fact of life is, though many people claim to be your friend, there are actually very few true friends. There are very few people who will forgive you.
 
Ask yourself, how many people have you forgiven verse how many people you have not?
 
I get it… People do a lot of fucked up things, all based in a sense of self-worth, selfishness, entitlement, unconsciousness, and all that kind of low mind nonsense. But, as in all life situations: the good, the bad, and the ugly, if you cannot be of the higher mind—if you cannot step beyond the way you demand that another person’s life be lived, then what do any of us have?  The answer: No One. Just a form letter, coming in the mail, telling us about some very bad thing that they did and, “Oh whops, sorry.” PS: “I don’t really care about you.”  
 
Think about it…
