Being Human. 27 Sept' 24

 If you look towards others to decide whether you like someone or not.

If you form opinions based on which way the wind blows

If you are too scared to speak the truth.
If, despite knowing the truth, you perpetrate a lie to impress others

If you are ungrateful and turn your back on those who have helped you.

If you bite the hand that fed you
And lick the hand that slaps you

If you do not have the courage to call a spade a spade
And would happily call it a diamond if you thought it would benefit you

If you keep changing the rules of the game in the middle of the game to suit the players who feed your ego

If your ego blinds your sense of justice
and drives you towards injustice
If power corrupts you to the point where only your interests matter

If you have stopped learning because you think there is no better teacher than you

If your thoughts are true but your words lie

If your words hurt those who love you most

If your actions are driven by your selfish motives

If the habits that you find hard to break
Are the ones that damage others

If you blame others for your situation
And you can only feel and play the victim

If you find it hard to smile at someone who has nothing to give to you.

If you want what you have never given
If you give what you never wanted

If you bully the one who is already timid
And save face with others like you

If you think that the only way to make yourself look good
Is if you succeed in making others look bad

And if you still want to be called a good human being..

Then read everything above again
And don't be that person, my child.

If you are not sure what to do
Start by being sure what not to do.
And that would be your first step towards being human.
