Brought from the past

A repost from my old entries here

" If Man was created in God’s image, and if all men are created equal, why do people treat each other so badly? Each person who enters our life has a unique lesson to teach us. And it is only through these lessons that we learn about life, people, relationships and GOD.  

When someone holds a grudge against you it teaches you that everyone makes mistakes. 

When you are wronged, the most virtuous thing you can do is forgive the offender without pretense. Forgiving those who have hurt us is the most difficult and courageous thing Man can do.  

When someone mocks you it teaches you that no two people are alike. 

When you encounter people who are different from you, don’t judge them by how they look or act; instead base your opinion on the contents of their heart. 

When someone steals from you it teaches you that nothing is forever. Always appreciate that you have, for you never know when you might lose it. And never, ever take your friends and family for granted because today is the only guarantee you have.

When someone breaks your heart it teaches you that loving someone does not always mean that person will love you back. But don’t turn your back on love because when you find the right person, the joy that one person brings will make up for all the past hurts put together.  

When someone lies to you it teaches you that things are not always as they seem. The truth is often far beneath the surface. Look beyond the masks people wear if you want to know their heart. And remove your own masks to let people know yours.

When a loved one is unfaithful to you it teaches you that resisting temptation is Man’s greatest challenge. Be vigilant in your resistance against all temptation. By doing so you will be rewarded with an enduring sense of satisfaction far greater than the temporary pleasure by which you were tempted.

When someone ridicules you it teaches you that nobody is perfect. Accept people for their merits and be tolerant of their flaws. Do not ever reject someone for imperfections over which they have no control.

For every good deed, there is one less evil deed. Man alone has the power to control the balance between good and evil, but because the lessons of love are not taught often enough, the power is too often abused. "
