When you put sand in a rice bowl...


Someday you will be accountable.

Bad intentions = a life full of envy, distasteful conduct, jealousy, unkind words, and evil thoughts. People with bad intentions never have peaceful lives as they are always thinking of some form of disgusting actions to execute on an innocent being. 

The bad news for these people are that the pie is for all to share and not singled out for them alone.

Imagine this, someone trying to make a living doing something they love, they are good in their craft/skill'chosen profession, and as they rise, they become a threat to the envious who view them with suspicion. The threatened, group together, exchange views with never a good word at the tip of their tongues for another, think up manipulative ways to bring that person down, destroy ambitions, gossip, and finally stab the concerned behind their backs. The main purpose is to cause harm or suffering to an innocent person.

Machiavellian: This term, derived from the political philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli, describes someone who is cunning, amoral, and manipulative in their pursuit of power or personal gain. This describes the people who put sand in someone's rice bowl.

It becomes a constant struggle for the person concerned since, in the first instance, they aren't aware that there are vicious people out there working against them.

The Machiavellians have many reasons to bring a person down in sly and deceitful ways.

Money being the great motivator, a tool for all evil intentions and acts, is mainly the weapon of destruction. Money to the ruthless will give them an edge over everyone. When money is exchanged, it becomes the fuel to power malevolent deeds.

The people who make use of other people for their rise, will never experience the satisfaction of having a fulfilled life. They will always be dependent on another's success, and their sincerity in relationships will always be questioned. Which is why truthfulness and genuine conduct will never be a priority in their lives.

I have always believed that 'what goes round comes around.' There are two things that matter to me: A good night's sleep, and a dignified death - hurting people in order to enrich my life is taboo. I'd rather read a book than gossip and make a complete fool of myself when the truth dawns of a person's innocence.

Truth will surface someday. 

Thank you for reading.
