Some Things Aren't Yours to Know

Some people have a mind your own business problem. They have a life, but they want to know what someone else is doing all the time, so they create problems. Making a fool out of themselves all at the same time. Losing a friend or friends in the process. Drum roll, please.

Some people just have to know what’s going on. Life is about productivity. Being productive is not sitting on your a**, calling and gossiping about people doing something, texting people or going to someone’s house talking about what you saw or heard. All that time you are wasting could be time spent on a job, or, if you choose to, going to college.

If being nosy was a profession, many people would be rich. Its because they like to spend time making other people’s lives a living h***. For example, A man/woman knows something about a person. They tell that other man/woman about it before they know the entire story and then they don't have a leg to stand on.

But what happens when the tables are turned? That person didn’t mind their business. How would they feel if you snitched on them? They might have a coronary (being sarcastic). Their life is already a mess. Be careful about what you do because it will come back on you.

If you don’t want your business aired out in the street, then don’t air out anyone else’s. What do you gain from it? A good laugh? It’s a joke to you, right? You enjoy laughing at other people. That’s all fine and good. Laugh away. Because technically speaking, the joke is on you. That person you think is your friend is really an enemy. They know that they can get information out of you so that is the only reason that they keep you around.

Here is a big part of minding your own business: your friend confides in you. True friends confide in each other about everything. You may not live the same lifestyle. You make different decisions. I say this strongly, neither one of you should be playing tattle-tale. That is something children do.

You don’t have to agree with the actions of your friends. If you don’t agree with something your friend is doing, tell them that you don’t want to be a part of it. Plain and simple.

There is an exception when a friend shouldn’t mind their business: if they catch a friend stabbing another friend in the back. I’m not talking about a friend talking about another friend. That happens every day.

I’m not a fan of, he/she was talking about you like you were nothing. Guess what? I’m glad to know I’m important. The stabbing in the back I’m referring to is if you catch your friend with your other friend’s husband or wife, boyfriend, or girlfriend.

But people know who they are in a relationship with these days. If a man consistently cheats on a woman and she stays, that’s her business. You should never insert yourself in a situation that you don’t belong in, even if it’s your friend or family member. People choose to live the way that they want to live so mind your business and worry about your own life.

Don’t make it a point to go around playing the snitch because it’s only going to hurt you eventually. People will stop confiding in you and they will avoid being around you.

To conclude I say this: Minding your own business is the best thing to do. When you lose people’s trust, there is nothing you can do.
