My Hands That Close To Your Neck (An Ethical Dilemma

In anticipation of an upcoming Ethical Dilemma , I was striving to prepare myself for a choice I might have to make . I wanted to make the choice that gave an accurate impression of who I am and who I am is someone who wants to be ethical , evolved , yet not at all a oilpan for the machinations of the morally corrupt

Here 's the situation : I lived in a small town , where all your actions can affect how you are viewed , your ability

to function in that town , or do business , or simply exist in harmony and that view can be reflected back to you with dizzying speed . I was to be involved in a public event and worried that I might cross paths with a particular person , whom I 'll call the Big Eraser . This person lived in my home , used my things brought no belongings , and in fact had --only a white garbage sack of items .not due to youth (this person is pushing 40 , and not due to an inability to be self-supporting . I had been loving , generous and supportive to B .E , and what I got in return was sloth , abuse , lies deceit and eventual admissions of hatred after I removed B .E . from my home . This person had treated me with disregard , cost me money frustration and stress , and managed to get away with it for various reasons . I learned some important lessons--I believe that everyone with whom we cross paths can be seen as a teacher . We don 't have to like them for that to be true

So , this was a small town , as I mentioned , and I was set up to provide a service , and fully expected B .E . to attend this public event , and that it might necessarily put me in a position to provide this service to B .E , should that request be made . It 's important to note that this service is Therapeutic Touch Treatments , and therefore requires me to impart love and healing--the last thing I feel I am capable of giving to this person

My response to this hypothetically anticipated request will also be rather public , and while I didn 't want to seem hostile , I also didn 't want to appear a doormat , nor did I wish to impart "reward " or seem to condone or approve of B .E , only for the sake of social graces . I was not disingenuous enough to pretend I had affection for this person . Add to this , the fact that B .E . has repeatedly avoided karmic debt , and it irks me that B .E . has been able to charm around and over everyone until they personally experience the truth of who B .E . really is . This is a person who was a self-confessed former drug dealer /maker , who damaged or perhaps was responsible for the deaths of an unknown number of people--maybe even kids--and had the unmitigated gall to brag about...
