Last week I was having discussions with a neighbour and he was talking about some personal issues he is having with his senior colleague at work , he narrated to me that his colleague is always jealous of him at work and always do everything possible to see him become unhappy while at his workplace , then I interrupted and i asked him
"You guys had any personal conflicts before "?
He responded and said no he does not personally have any issue with him before now and he cannot remember have any form of confrontation with him..
I was still surprised and asking him that why will his senior colleague be so jealous of him for no reason , why will he dislike him so much till the extent that he does not like the way my neighbour is always happy at office and so he is always praying for his downfall , I was just having various thoughts concerning the issue and I kept feeling that there is more to the story and that my neighbour is not telling me the whole truth , so i asked him that he should call that his colleague and have some matured conversations with him and ask him why he is treating him badly at work , that he should ask him what was his offence that made him to be treating him that way..
So on Friday I asked my neighbour for feedback concerning the issue and he narrated to me that I was right, the colleague had some personal issues with him and I asked him what the issue is , he got to found out a lady he once jilted and hurt so much happened to be the younger sister of his senior colleague who is now frustrating him at work, my neighbour never knew that the lady is his sister..
Even at that point I felt indifferent about the whole situation but i was glad he had conversation with his colleague and got to find out the truth and what was going on , now I was forced to ask him , what exactly did you do to the lady in question , then he told me how he lied to her , broke her heart , even made her loose her job at work and even denied her when she needed him most...
Then I told him , so in other words you treated her badly and now her brother is giving you some bad treatment too and you feel so hurt and frustrated..it is now looking more like a karma right..
Now this brings me to the message I want to pass here , we should learn to treat others the way we want to be treated , alot of people treat others in a very bad way but they cannot even take what they dish out , they can attack anybody anyhow they want but they cannot even welcome the same attack they give to others, they ridicule people and they cannot even accept half of the ridicule they dish out..
If you want to be treated rightly then treat others rightly , if you want to be treated in a great manner then treat others in a great manner too..treat others the way you want to be treated, you cannot sow an orange and expect to reap a pineapple, it does not work that...
Do unto others as you would love them do to you...have a wonderful week ahead...
