At this time last Sunday, I was in tears, so stressed out about all the things that have been going on in my life (my job, my car), but this Sunday I am happy to report that I am so chill I am virtually comatose! But despite my new lack of stress there are still some things that concern me, and the biggest one is persecuting others.

Certain events of the last week have reaffirmed the dangers inherent in persecuting others. When we take it upon ourselves to act as judge, jury, and executioner we leave ourselves open to receiving the same treatment. Never forget that there is always someone at least as well, if not better qualified than you, to take your place, and when you have the attitude and/or personality of a poopy diaper, you open the door to all sorts of payback.

Belittling, stereotyping, and undermining others will never get you where you think it will, and every time you do it you move closer to becoming what you think they are. Clean up your own yard before you criticize the yard of your neighbor, and just because you don't care for the way someone else dresses, that doesn't give you leave to criticize that, either.

Be aware; people do watch you and they do take note of what you say and do...just as much as you do it to them.
