“I will not deny but that the best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words.”

Before you offer to assist, protect and or remedy an injustice, you may want to consider prior to, during and after, what the proper involvement for you is; strategically and practically or if at all, don’t act impulsively. Identify what the risks are for that involvement across all aspects, how to manage them and what the likelihood is that the people you are trying to help may turn against you. Don’t let your good heart become your Achilles Heel.
In the absence of a diligent plan, standing up for others on matters that by virtue and in fact do not correspond to you may sometimes result in these people wanting to hold you accountable and even accuse, defame and or blame you for their and or other’s faults and if this does happen it may drag you into a non-constructive circumstance. Even when you help, do it meticulously to prevent and or minimize disappointments, disputes and all types of loss.
Not all humans come from the same school or share the same values. By nature, same as with Scorpions, some individuals are not trustworthy, and it may be only a matter of time before they show their true colors. When and if they show their true colors depends greatly on their level of dependency and or what they believe they can potentially get from you. Would you expect a Scorpion not to sting you just because you showed it mercy? Don’t fool yourself and don’t be fooled!
As opposed to Scorpions, those individuals come in all shapes and or forms, from all walks of life no matter what religion, skin color, profession, status, age and or others. They may pretend to be your best friends, brothers and or victims of ongoing circumstances. They lie, have a “selective memory”, accept no accountability, they love to manipulate, induce, mislead and most of all blame others with no respect to what the actual arrangement was and or is. Those individuals will do everything to try and get away with it regardless of the evidence act, due process and or other applicable laws and most importantly what the right thing to do is.
Reflect for a moment, this may have happened to you in the past and or may be part of a present experience with an individual or with a group of people on different scales and or aspects. It is imperative for your personal growth to treat these incidents as learning experiences and to consider such individuals as someone that came into your life to teach you a valuable lesson to sharpen your neurological instincts and strengthen your psychological well-being.
For caring and responsible people it is hard to stay passive when witnessing an injustice and or an underperforming area, however, when you start selecting whom you want to help wisely, under what capacity and in which battles you wish to participate, you will immediately experience a significant improvement in the positive energy around you, a normalization in your stress levels and most importantly you will have much more time to focus on the people that truly deserve your attention.
Be aware, set your goals, manage expectations make sure the people involved understand what your participation, limitations and responsibilities are. Excluding the compensation aspect, manage all activities and or transactions herein in the same way you manage a business transaction; investigate, plan, execute and supervise always under high practices of governance. Collect sufficient admissible evidence so if the unexpected happens, you can defend yourself, limit exposure and seek justice in a court of law.
Don’t let others have power over you, control your thoughts and become the one that decides when, what, how and with whom you want to get involved, if at all. Remember, letting someone upset you is equal to letting someone have some sort of control and or power over you. Stick to your profile, do not engage in low level games, be respectful and learn when to disengage. Set an example and a behavioral bench mark to those around you on how to get involved in an effective manner.
If and when you discover that someone you are helping is stealing, cheating, accusing, using you because they already got from you what they wanted; control your emotions, don’t feel you need to justify anything to them and shift to recovery mode with the objective to conscientiously drive yourself out of that relationship and or situation. Identify what you have missed and or understand how you got there and don’t stop helping others. Helping others may be one of the best tributes you may have as a human.
Under our Corporate Social Responsibility activities, following dialogs with scholars, alumni and others, as well as while coaching young executives and their amazing determination to change the world, the unique model upon which they value things and redefine luxury, which is admirable, I wrote this article and included selected quotations from prudent individuals for these responsible individuals to consider and strengthen their immunity with the objective for them to never lose their aspiration to make a difference.
Most importantly help from you heart, don’t expect anything in return and remember, Karma is not a religion, but it does exist, and it simply works, I have witnessed that countless times.
