WHAT IS YOUR ACT?

“Handsome is as handsome does.” Sounds a bit Forrest Gump-ish but fits the bill. Many wish to enjoy a certain reputation they know in their heart they don’t deserve. The ill-tempered person may indeed want to be loved and favored but their very actions make it impossible. How often have you heard someone attempt to sell the idea that even though someone is acting or has acted badly they really mean well, are basically nice people, having a heart of gold. Nonsense. Loving people are loving towards all, the mistake here is that many believe they have to like everyone as well, which isn‘t required. Respectful people are respectable towards all, liking or agreeing with them irrelevant. Living on the Spiritual Basis our serenity is measured by our actions. We must walk the way we talk or risk suffering mightily at the hands of hypocrisy. We can wish to be spiritual, we can wish for peace, we can wish to be happy, joyous and free but unless our actions match up with our wishes, we will never demonstrate.
