KEEPING IT NATURAL…
DEATH THROUGH CHARACTER ASSASSINATION
By Mae Johnson
Character assassination (aka gossip) is the malicious and unjustified harming of a person’s good reputation. Sadly, and all too often the perpetrator discredit themselves,
by the mere act of engaging in character assassination"
Who Needs Fist
Many years ago, when two individuals had hostility toward each other, they dueled it out. Now there is an easier way to take your foe out; it is death by character assassination. Why bring in fists when you can do more harm through character assassination? Why character assassination? It is easier. A few nasty words here or there and that politician, attorney, teacher, or doctor is destroyed.
Escaping Mechanism
Think about it this way, when a person negates you, they feel awful about their station in life. They feel that, if they attack you, it will remove the negative attention from them. It is a way of escaping mechanism (escaping mechanism is a mental process to avoid an unpleasant aspect of reality). When attacked, be like the baby mosquito. After his first time flying. his mom asked him, “How do you feel? He replied, it was wonderful, everyone was clapping for me.” He took people trying to kill him, by swatting at him, as a compliment. That is what you should do. No do not punch your neighbor…as this is a parable.
When a person attacks you, be like the mosquito, turn the situation around and do not let the negativity sink into your consciousness.
