Today I failed miserably in the " doing unto others as you would have them do to you" category. I let my Ego get in my way. I think as an awaken individuals we have an obligation not to disrespect anyone especially our non awake brothers/sisters. I made 2 mistakes with 2 people in which I clearly was in the wrong. Yes this system is flawed and ran by people who's actions are evil IMHO and I get sick of it but that is no excuse for my actions ! I ran up an old bill awhile ago and this person who really is nice ask me if I could pay it. I made a complete fool of myself ! Griping about it and moaning and groaning....about 30 minutes late I called this person up and apologized and made arrangements to pay it. Person #2 is a "Jesus" guy which is his free will right and choice. Now he buys these lottery tickets,I hear people who buy lotto tickets say if they win they will give some to the church which to me is a cop out for gambling, now I ask him would Jesus buy lottery tickets? He responded by saying "well smoking is a sin too and I don't think Jesus would smoke" I am a pack a day smoker and he was right in the sense that I was being a hypocrite. I won't see him till Monday and I will apologize to him for my actions. The point is this. To live a truly spiritual life IMHO then you must be honest in all dealings,if you owe someone pay them, and if a grown person wants to gamble it's their business no matter what you think about gambling or how much "Jesus" they throw at you.....Ego is something I going to work on and get right. I've already connected to the spirit within about this. How can I spread the light of love when I let the darkness connected with ego take hold and lead me? I can't.....back to the basics of spirituality and I will put the" loving thy neighbor ...." right at the top of my list that's for sure......:humble:
