I am particularly angered by cheating, corruption, and irresponsibility. Yet, each of us has little control over one another, and cheating, corruption, and irresponsibility occurs. That's an element of life. Fortunately we do have governments, laws, policies, and agencies that help to keep our work with and for each other ethical, honest, and proactive--and we have the opportunity to live our own lives with as much goodness as possible and choose those we befriend and live with too. We have the freedom to surround ourselves with good people.
This pondering reminds me of a situation a few years ago. An acquaintance complained consistently about her financial situation. Her complaining was oppressive. Finally, when I sat down and thought about her plight, I realized that a ready solution for her struggles was to sell her second home (Yes, she had a second home). So the next time she complained, I simply replied, Why don't you sell your second home? That put her troubles in perspective and she never complained to me again.
None of us do the right thing all the time, and some of us may hold back too much when it comes to living life for the day with pleasure and happiness, and when resentment comes to mind related to those who cheat, corrupt or act with irresponsibility, we have to remember our own ability to choose, speak up, and do what we believe is right or good.
In another situation, an acquaintance recently made a very poor choice--a choice that could result in dire consequences for him and his loved ones. He knows this is a bad choice, yet he's going forward anyways. He's generally a good person, and perhaps the roll of the dice that he's immersed himself in will work in his favor. I hope it does as this is not a decision that is meant to negatively hurt or harm others, but there is also the possibility that this will result in great struggle for him or others. I hope the decision ends well--I'll watch and see. Others recently who have taken similar risks have met with no problems, some problems, or grave problems. There's been a wide range of results. I'm not sure what will happen in this case. Our family had a similar decision to make, and those most in charge of the decision decided on a very safe decision, a decision opposite that of this man--yet even what appears to be a very safe decision may have it's struggles too. No one knows for sure.
In the end, we all have to live our own lives. We decide what we do with our time, money, attitudes, relationships, and energy. We will never totally agree with one another, and we will likely stay connected with and support people who share same values and vision. Being strong with who you are, what you desire, and how you live as well as holding great respect, reverence, and care for others is the best possible path. While not always an easy path, it is a positive path forward. Onward.
