How about a slice of Humble Pie?

Some recent events that have occured in my life and those around me has me really grateful that I live my life the way I do. We are responsible for all of our actions and how those actions affect others. Usually we are only concerned with our present actions, and disregard our past ones. I mean it was in the past. But sometimes the Karma train doesn't run on time and we get slapped in the face with our concequences waaaaaay later in the future.

I will admit that when unfortunate things happen to me I ponder "what did I do in the past to deserve this" Usually I find something, and I say "Well I guess that's what I get for........." I'm not closed minded though. I do believe that sometimes things happen not because of something I've done but becuase of something else. I tend to believe that there are no accidents. Things happen for a reason. And sometimes that reason is just to teach us a lesson and sometimes the lesson isn't for us but maybe for someone else. Sometimes it takes a major unfortunate event for us to learn an important lesson. For example.....maybe your home gets invaded, for you to learn to LOCK YOUR DAMN DOOR! I'm just saying.

So let me tell you a story about how important it is to treat people well.....

Guy meets Girl
Guy and Girl begin to talk
Guy and Girl begin to like each other
they develop a routine of speaking daily, "good morning" text messages and phone calls (I love those)
and yep Guy and Girl even begin to have relations!
Guy seems a bit selfish, he states that it is a result of past relationships
Girl hopes that things will be different, after all she isn't selfish
Girl begins to show Guy that she is really there for him, she's really on his team, desires to be first string
Guy is really digging girl, is considering her for a starting position
Girl comes through for Guy when he needs her, shows him rather than tells him how she feels for/about him
Guy still displays some selfish, petty, behavior
Girl starts to think this isn't going to work
Girl decides to tell Guy to kick rocks, she can't deal with the selfishness
Guy realizes that Girl is worth keeping and is feeling like he may need to change things to get her back
Guy pleads with Girl to give "them" another chance
Girl agrees
They continue on their journey, however, Guy is still just as selfish and petty
Girl feels like she's constantly doing things and not getting any reciprocity
Yesterday Guy has committed a fatal relationship act
That's it Girl is done, it's a wrap, as a matter of fact Girl has choosen to cease all communication with Guy. She feels he has used her as his toilet long enough
She can do bad all by herself
Today Guy finds out that some of his past actions in Jan 08 have caught up to him and now the pigs have a warrant for his arrest.
Oh no! Guy now is trying to apologize to Girl, get back in her good graces so in case he has to go away for a while, he'll have a pen pal and someone to hold him down.
Girl accepts his apology but refuses to write or visit. Will not see Guy before he turns himself in or nothing...............

What a dummie right? I mean he totally shitted on her yesterday and now he regrets that. But the damage is done now, no way to unwind what has been wound.

Now this guy is a friend of mine, but in this situation I can not side with him. I've seen the way he has treated, not only her, but other people. And now that he's in a bind, he's trying to cross the bridges that he's burned. It's too late now.

I've totally taken HIS lesson to heart. I started looking back and examining the way I've treated people. Truthfully I don't ever want to be in his position or feel what he is feeling. I mean I haven't done any criminal activity so it's not like I'll be sitting in a cell or anything. But I just don't want Karma to slap my ass in the face like that.

I keep thinking that if he would've never did what he did yesterday then he would have someone there by his side while he navigates through this tumultuous time.

The moral of the story boys and girls:
TREAT PEOPLE THE WAY YOU WANT TO BE TREATED BECUASE ONE DAY YOU MIGHT REGRET HOW YOU HAVE TREATED SOMEONE.
