Those who are observant are aware of most things. They walk into a room and can immediately tell if they are welcome, as a look of indifference comes from what has been told to them or from their own personal, concluded thoughts about actions seen that lack full understanding.
The world today is much different than the past. People who were never noticed before are now known from pictures taken. Overheard, or access gained illegally to private conversations, they tell, and the invasion of personal information on devices, they used to cause financial debt.
For those whose information falls into the hands of people who harbour grudges against them, have been hurt by the absence of the law to exercise justice, or are ambitious, in such hands, your life becomes an access to their wealth.
Only with observation is one able to fight fire with fire, so speaking. Within observation and intuition, you can fight using the laws of human rights to fight your battles or assist in fighting for others.
OBSERVATION TRIGGERS SUSPICION
On July 14, I was at the Dollar Store to purchase a wallet but decided to pick up other items I needed. I put them in the bag I walked with, since my initial intention was to purchase one item; I did not pick up a shopping cart. In one of the aisles, I noticed a young lad who picked up an item and was about to put it in his bag, walked away, then turned back, put the item back, and was about to leave, picked up another, and put it into his bag.
After I picked up a few more items, I went to the checkout counter.
As I took all the items out of the bag, I suddenly heard a commotion. I looked to my side to see a woman attempting to pull the young lad’s bag from his shoulders, accusing him of stealing.
“I have nothing; leave me alone,” said the lad.
“You are lying; you are stealing; open the bag,” said the woman as she kept pulling the bag to open it.
Finally, I looked at him, and our eyes met. “You are lying,” I said.
That’s when his grip on the bag loosened, allowing the woman to get to the items she took out, throwing them onto the counter as she verbalized the fact.
I looked at the items, and as he took hold of his bag, about to leave the store, I offered to pay, but he walked out, perhaps embarrassed.
My observation of his actions when he was seen in the aisle, I had no clue whether he was acting on seeing my action. Or he intended to get away with stealing, not giving thought to the consequences of his actions. I said nothing at the time. But when I saw what was happening, either an act to gain attention or to put a video on a social site. I got involved to prove my innocence.
To better understand what I just wrote, you need to read my memoir Until My Dying Day by B. M. Lustol, published by Dorrance Publishing Company.
THE WORLD TODAY
Business owners are facing no shortage of challenges as they grapple with soaring health insurance premiums and rising energy costs, which, by the way, will get worse as the years go by due to our environmental consumption to keep cool, technology use and lack of ozone layer protection. Not to forget the higher price of imported goods.
On top of those challenges, individuals’ mental health is at stake as we now live in a world where the angelic forces are more active, and Technology has twisted the minds of our youths.
Most are struggling to feed their families, and so are those who run businesses to keep their shops open.
WHAT WILL BE THE COLOUR OF OUR FUTURE WORLD?
Before a foolish dare, or an actual need, follow the advice of the Prophets: Seek to find. Knock to acquire. -Matthew 7:7.
I plead to all youths to become wise in their actions. A criminal record follows you wherever you go in life. And most will not give you an opportunity because psychologically all they see after informed information is the bold marking on a sheet of paper. And worse, if those you approach have a racist attitude.
Therefore, a better world for the future requires everyone to be part of educating others in ways that [benefit them], preserving life and avoiding a criminal record. Appreciation is deserving of those who invented the many platforms we now have to inform us of our experiences that educate, enlighten, encourage and move each one to change.
So, shun foolish actions that will impair your lives.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge.
Fear of doing wrong guides us to what is good and preserves our lives in the end.
Parents, now is the time, if you haven’t before, to spend quality time with your child or children. Build within them character traits that define them to be one who is kind, honest, humble, responsible, and respectful. They need your love and attention. As you need to hear their struggles, their wins and their failures.
Your giving birth never ends the process of education to a certain age; it continues to the end of life. For as long as breath sustains our life, we are given opportunities to learn from each other.
Thanks for reading. Until my next post, take care of yourselves and each other.
Better The End
