Years ago posative thinker Kent Keith taught about "The Paradoxical Commandments" Dr Kent's version was later slightly modified and posted on the walls of Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta. Below is the latter version...
People are often unreasonable, Irrational, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse You of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway
If you are successful, you will win some Unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; Succeed anyway
If you are honest and sincere People may deceive you; Be honest and sincere anyway
If you find serenity and happiness, Some may be jealous; Be happy anyway
The good you do today, Will often be forgotten; Do good anyway
Give the best you have, And it may never be enough; Give your best anyway
In the final analysis, It is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
Lately I have felt betrayed by at least 4 people I considered friends, something inside says " KICK THERE AZZ'S" and something else inside says " BE THERE FRIEND NEVERTHELESS"
