Meditation for Tuesday – March 16, 2010

If You Are Loyal To Those Who Are Not Present,
You Build The Trust Of Those Who Are Present.

You – One; anyone; people in general.

Loyal – Characterized by or showing faithfulness to commitments, vows, allegiance, obligations, etc.

Those – Used to indicate a person, thing, idea, state, event, time, remark, etc., as pointed out or present, mentioned before, supposed to be understood, or by way of emphasis.

Not – Used to express negation, denial, refusal, or prohibition.

Present – Being with one or others or in the specified or understood place.  Being here.  Being actually here or under consideration.  Existing or occurring in a place, thing, combination, or the like.

Build – To establish, increase or strengthen.  To base, found.  Mold, form or create.

Trust – Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.

So What Is Being Suggested Here?

If you say something bad about someone who’s not in the room while you are in public, everyone can’t help but wonder what you might say about them when they’re not in the room.

It’s just human nature.

Whenever we say something bad about someone, it shows a predisposition toward saying bad things about people.  This predisposition only forces others around us to wonder what we’re saying about them.

Should We Never Say Anything Bad?

That’ not what I’m suggesting here.

I’m merely suggesting that we should choose our moments carefully.

We should be careful about what we say and when we say it.

We should be careful about whom we say it to.

So, I ask you to consider:  Are you saying bad things about people in the presence of others?

If so, what kind of impression do you believe you are leaving?
