Dale has gone insane
I am no longer allowed to live in the house I was living in because someone who worked there (Dale) thought I stole some soft drinks from him. This is a blatant lie and I am very disappointed that Dale would even think that I did it, given the high level of respect for others I possess. Furthermore, it happened AFTER other people came into the house so how could he assume it was me? But over all, I know the following should be done.
I should forgive Dale - while he made accusations to have me removed from the house (like Dusten) - I should keep in mind that he is probably going through a lot in his life right now and I probably doesn’t realize what he is doing. Therefore, I should forgive him for his false accusations and remember the perils he is going through. I know for a fact that he is catching a lot of problems from Shush about the house and all. So that is all the more reason to forgive him. Another might be that there were rumours spread in the last house that we lived in that just weren’t true. Maybe he is basing his false judgement on these rumours? I just don’t know.
I should stick to the truth - As you know (from reading this blog) I am a firm believer in telling the truth and doing the right thing. Therefore, I know for a fact that I should stick to the truth and retain what credibility I have. The truth is all I have because it declares my innocence, and loudly. It allows me the freedom of knowing that what I do and write is right and honourable. And the fact that I am following the tenets of Buddhism. Therefore, I should refrain from lying and saying my removal from this house is for any other reason than what I am claiming now.
