If I will do it for you, I will do it to you... Part 2

So here is the second installment in this series of excerpts from Justin Lookadoo's book Dateable, titled "If I Will Do It For You I Will Do It To You". This excerpt deals friends who are 2-Faced, as Justin puts it. Lets take a look

2-Faced
Does this sound familiar? You have a group of friends. The four of you are really tight. But whenever one of the friends is not there, everyone else is talking about that person.

"I can't believe what she wore today"

"She will never get him. He is way outta her league."

"Dude, he is so gay"

Whatever, If everyone is talking about the friend that's not in the group, right at that moment, guess what they are doing to you when you're not around. Yep. Exact same thing.

"Oh , but we're best friends. They would never do that to me. Not while you're standing there, maybe, but as soon as you're not around, They will do the same thing to you. Yeah, go ahead and think about your friends right now. 'cause you know what they're doing to you when you're not around.




As always Justin is pretty clear about this message. If I will do it for you (or with you in this case), I will do it to you (when you're not around). The golden rule plain and simple, flying in your face. Really, we shouldn't talk about anyone behind their back, regardless of the consequences to ourselves. For those of you who are Christians, We are called to love our fellow man or woman. And talking behind their backs is harmful and deceitful. Even if you don't follow Jesus though, that's just nasty behavior. It really comes down to treating others how you wanna be treated. Don't want people to talk about you behind your back? Then don't start talking about others behind their backs.
