The Truth - 43

 

 

The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth

 

Avoid trouble

Infact flee from trouble

Anything that  will involve the Police charging you to court is trouble

If you can end the matter at the Police Station, by all means do just that

Stop shouting I know my right, I know my right

In this place we are in, your right and left can change any time

If your Lawyer is shouting, at the Police Station,  we will meet in Court

Tell him to calm down, it is your case and not his

The use of we in the matter is merely figurative

If you are taken to Court, he will not stand in the accused box with you

And if peradventure you're sentenced to a term of imprisonment, he will not be there to serve the sentence with you.

Remember, it is not what you know that matters in Court, it is what you can prove beyond all reasonable doubt

Sometime ago, I was attacked by a Pedestrian in Lagos.

The car I was in brushed him slightly, I was not the driver. I just told him to be more careful; that's how the guy attacked me.

He threw 4 punches, I blocked 2, and dodged 2.

I had the opportunity to counter punch but I did not. Fortunately a Police Officer came around the scene and eventually stopped him. I immediately removed myself from the scene. I was happy enough I was not leaving the place with a broken jaw neither was I being charged for assault and battery occasioning harm.

Sometimes, it is better to let some things go.

I do not mean to advise that you should become everyone's foot mat, far from it but if you're going to take up an issue, ensure that you are blameless or almost blameless.

Whatever you can do, do it to avoid trouble.

If people are beating up a thief, do not join, or even stand and watch even if it was your property that was stolen.

If someone hits your car, don't start fighting because of that or even arguing on top of your voice, sometimes vessels have ruptured in the course of angered shouts

Do not lend people money including your friends and relatives, it hardly ends well.

Do not be a Guarantor or Surety for someone you don't absolutely trust

Avoid night movements and partying and clubbing, people have been killed through accidental discharges in those circumstances

Avoid people who cannot control their alcoholic intake, their actions are vexatious to the Spirit

Realize that a bad situation can get better or worse, depending on how you handle it

Avoid people who talk too much

Be wary of what you say to anyone.

Do not talk about people behind their backs, it is called gossip.

Always assume that someone is recording your speech and videoing your movements.

Even if someone comes to you with negative gossip about another person, nod your head and move on. Do not say anything, statistics has shown that if you talk, it is that which you said that will somehow find its way back to that person's ears.

Stop saying things like Do you know who I am? I am not afraid of anybody, My yes is my yes and My No is my no and all that, I tell you that when the time comes, you will fear fear itself.

And lastly, remember to keep your anger and ego in check.

The earth does not revolve around you, it certainly revolves around the Sun and you are not the Sun

As much as lieth in you, avoid trouble and seek peace with all men.

 

Now that is *The Truth, the WHOLE Truth and nothing but the Truth*
