BGM on BAD BEHAVIOR

I don't like BAD BEHAVIOR. When I talk about BAD BEHAVIOR I'm referring to when people violate the Golden Rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I think we as a society have forgotten that basic rule. When we are down on our luck we do not want someone to come upon us and further cause us pain, or kick us further down. When we tell people about our dislikes, we do not want them to purposefully do things that we don't like. When we give our hearts to someone and we are open and honest about our feelings, we do not want them to crush us, lie to us, or cheat on us.

The result of BAD BEHAVIOR is sadness, pain, hurt, and it can lead to bitterness.

Lately, I have seen BAD BEHAVIOR especially within the realm of personal relationships. Two of my closest friends have recently experienced other people's bad behavior. My best friend, just today, caught his boyfriend in the mall with another guy. His now ex-boyfriend had told him that they couldn't spend the day together because he had work conflicts. Now imagine to my best friend's surprise when he sees his boyfriend with this other guy. Now when the ex-boyfriend sees my best friend, he doesn't wave Hi, he doesn't go over to him and offer some explanation, he just simply looks down and keeps moving. Later, he doesn't even contact my best friend to provide some explanation. See, this is BAD BEHAVIOR. Would you want someone to lie to you? Would want someone who you care about and chose to engage in a relationship with to be spending time with someone else over you? If your answer to these two questions is NO, then why would you do it to someone else, especially someone you care about.

My other friend, she was dumped by her girlfriend when the girlfriend decided that she was not over her previous girlfriend and decided she wanted to go back to her old girlfriend. The ex-girlfriend's previous girlfriend called her the day before a holiday and told her that she didn't want her dating my friend and wanted her back. Keep in mind that the ex-girlfriend was the one who initiated the relationship, and the one who progressed the relationship to get feelings involved. Now, if you were receiving love from someone who was freely giving their love to you, and saying I want to be with YOU, i love YOU, i care about YOU, how would you feel without any warning or explanation find yourself without that love because someone suddenly decided that You weren't the one. BAD BEHAVIOR. You wouldn't want that to happen to you, so don't do it to someone else.

To my closest friends and to those of you have experienced BAD BEHAVIOR in terms of relationships, I say, your better off without them. If someone truly values and cares for you they will not perform acts of BAD BEHAVIOR towards you. They would value you and the relationship that you have together and be up front and honest about their feelings.

To the rest of the world I urge you to work on your BAD BEHAVIOR. If your interest change in terms of a relationship with someone, TELL THEM. Don't cheat on them, don't lie to them, don't use them for what they can provide you and then throw them away like garbage. Would you want someone to do that to you? If you said NO, then don't do it.

If we could all abide by the Golden Rule, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you," this world would be a much happier, better place, with a lot less wounds.

Let me know what you think, or share your BAD BEHAVIOR stories.

Yours always, standing in his truth.
