Neutral

           Whenever someone says they are neutral then the conversation should stay neutral. To find out if the person is really telling the truth just remain quiet say very little and eventually they will reveal their true nature. Recently this happened to me.  I sat and listen to a conversation providing very little information just general comments and as I suspected the conversation shifted. It was no longer a neutral conversation a side had been picked or should I say revealed and subliminal messages were stated. It was interesting to me. Comments were stated that really weren’t asked for, needed or wanted. In my mind I thought where did this come from, but as normal I let the person talk. The comments stated were comments they wanted to say or something they wanted to say for someone else. The moment the conversation veered into a different direction my ears started listening even more.  If you state that you are neutral then your conversation shouldn’t dip to the right or left it should remain even. When I got home my mind began to replay the conversation. Normally when my mind rethinks things I began to get a little upset or even angry. This time instead of letting it get to me I started talking to God. I was ready for a quick post on social media, but he said no response needed. Let it go.  Then, I started to laugh. Laughter is good for the soul.  It helps relieve stress and some times it is just amusing. I began to think Lord that wasn’t right what the person did and he reminded me to let it go and he would take care of it. The words vengeance is mind said the Lord. A sense of peace came over me. I was calm and my mind began to think about how I would have responded in the past. The person had revealed a weakness during the conversation. The old me would have pounced on that and used it for my benefit. That would have been my way of pay back and a way to remind them that I am not the one you want to play with, but God told me he would take care of it.  Before I crawled into bed he reminded me to write an entry on your blog. Share your story and help someone else. What did I learn from this situation?  I learned that I have grown from the way I use to be. My mind may remember how I would have responded, but in talking to God he provided the right direction. I also learned that a person will tell on themselves if you allow them and if ever you state you are neutral either stay neutral or don’t say anything at all.
