Has any other person noticed what the conscience does to a man? Well...
Apart from the fact that it pricks one when one does things that are not right, It also makes one read meaning to things entirely different from what is intended. And to make matters worse, a guilty person can further personalize the innocent Words or Actions of others.But do you know what?
The Scriptures says in Titus 1:15 "unto the pure, ALL things are pure but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their minds and conscience is defiled"
Now, come to think of it; the bible is so complete.
In summary, do not allow any body's word or action distract, disturb and still take you to HELL, it will be your loss not theirs. ONLY God sees the INTENT of a man's heart, you DON'T and so quit thinking that every word or actions are directed at you.
Note: until you know the motive behind a person's action, your judgement may be wrong
The person you 'think' you have issues with might not even know it or must have forgotten about the whole thing and had since moved on with life, while you lie there holding grudges for no just reason, reading meaning where there should be non.
This can cause you more harm than you think.
Here are SOLUTIONS, if you find yourself in this situation:
1. Clear your conscience by settling issues . You can humbly call the person involved and ask questions where you are not so clear or confused.
2. Please and please once you have settled any issue genuinely, MOVE ON!
People should not turn dumb because someone else 'is' reading meaning to every single word they say or everything they do.
And funny enough, some people even quote other people's genuine silence...
Please, what is there to quote in silence? why are you being so difficult?
Those who choose to be silent regarding any matter will not start talking because you want them to, find a way to get comfortable with that.
Emotional Intelligence teaches that you shouldn't respond to every speech, silence and the body languages that only you can notice. This is because it's not a good way of reacting to your own emotions (since you feel everything done is targeted at you).
Maturity is when you can ignore certain things in life
Another truth is that people may take advantage of you, if they realize you are busy reading meaning and reacting to everything they do and that will not be healthy for you.
3. He who wants to grow will never stop learning and it shouldn't matter who he learns from, young or old. Pick a word or two from this post and Use it, I will too.
Hope it helps us!
