The Journey of Self: Investigate and Substantiate First by Maria Khaled RD, LD
So, I was in the store the other day and as I was walking in, I overheard a woman speaking about another woman telling one of the workers in the store that “she’s a racist. I can’t stand her or believe what she does.” She was blatantly defaming another’s character and publicly slandering whomever she was discussing with the other woman looking on nodding approvingly and very willing to listen to the slander with an open ear.
Now mind you, I had no idea who she was talking about or what kind of character this person may truly have. However, I did see and sense a bitter woman full of hatred, contempt, scorn and defaming a person’s character in a public space and it got me to thinking, “why are people so willing to believe a person’s negative view of another?”
Unfortunately, we cannot control others, but we can control what we choose to listen to and believe. I cannot stress this enough- “Just because someone says it does not make it true. Speaking words into existence does not make something true or not. Being quick to speak and speaking ill on another is a terrible thing as it can truly destroy a person’s life.”
Many times, when the ill words spoken are not investigated and substantiated, people may just immediately believe the worse. Why? How is this fair in any sense of the word?
In other words, we are living in a world today where a person can say absolutely anything about another and destroy and defame their character while having others believe it. No facts, substantiation, questioning or wondering what the intention/motive is- just slander and speaking ill of someone and somehow, in that person’s eyes that makes it true. How is that innocent until proven guilty in what we call a free society? It’s not and it’s extremely unfair.
On our journey to wellness, it is so important to transform into our greatest self. There unfortunately is much envy, jealousy and bitterness in the world. So, when people transform into the greater version of themselves, we many times see this happen.
Someone trying to cut down another and will speak ill of another and defame their character while others may just immediately assume it is true. I have seen all this too often on my journey. As many may wonder, why would this be said if it is not true.
How this goes against everything we stand for in society as the common notion- every person has the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty (i.e. whatever defamation is being spewed) and it seems very much the opposite when people will believe what ever is spewed out about someone, without questioning or really investigating the “truth”.
We need to do a much better job of investigating and substantiating to make sure we know the facts before we just believe words as truth- especially any type of defamation and slander that can utterly destroy a person’s life.
Just because someone says it does not make it true- no matter who or what the source! (unless it’s the divine speaking to us). Even news media, television, newspapers, celebrities need to be investigated and substantiated. I have seen many lies and untruths put out into the Universe from sources such as these and because they are well-known, people may automatically believe it must be true. That could not be more wrong. Framing a narrative to fit a certain perception is done all too often and master manipulators can do this with ease as they may have spent their lives doing it.
Please question the motive, the intention of why someone would go to the lengths to defame any individual and expect others to believe it- DO NOT JUST BLINDLY BELIEVE DEFAMATION AND SLANDER ABOUT SOMEONE AS IT MAY BE THE FURTHEST FROM THE TRUTH. I have seen this on my own journey all too often and most times it stems from envy, jealousy, bitterness and insecurity. I feel strongly guided to put this out into the Universe.
As smart as we are as a nation, why do people still just believe this. Please let’s come together and overcome this and stop believing blindly what people tell us. We need to be a much more loving society and allow love to conquer all to truly raise the vibration of the planet. Enough of this low vibrational behavior and if you are unwilling to change, higher vibrational beings need to set stronger boundaries and not be brainwashed by these darker beings. Actions and consequences for behavior is sometimes the only way to learn for many.
We co-create our reality and if we keep raising our vibration and spreading love and light, we will not focus on lower vibrational people or hate speech and will move away from this. Where we put our energy and intention is where our focus will go. Stop believing negativity spoken about another just because it is spoken.
