Character Assasination

One mistake you must not make in life is to allow yourself to be recruited by someone to hate another person, who hasn’t wronged you.

Hear this: We must avoid taking hasty conclusions because of what others may say about someone else.

What people say about others, says a lot about them. I’m repeating this more directly, “the things you say about others, says a lot about you! I can tell a lot about a person by what they choose to see about others.

Character assassination is a pervasive and destructive phenomenon, found everywhere: in families, political arenas, places of worship, organizations, work places etc.

Character assassination is the deliberate, malicious, unjustified and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual.

It is the slandering of a person, usually to destroy public confidence in such a person. It is the act of lowering one’s character in a bid to ruin the character of others.

Some people take maximum delight in ruining other’s reputations. These set of people have what I would call ‘destructive tendencies ‘.They oil their ego by pulling others down -PhD(pull him down).

False allegations are the most chronic form of mental abuse. When people can’t kill your dreams and purposes, they will resort to assassinating your character. There are some people that your spirit will always irritate their demons. Once they realize hating you is not working, they start telling lies about you. People are assassinated once, but character assassination kills daily. Character assassination is a form of emotional violence against others.

Someone once said, “A friend of my enemy is my enemy”. One of the things that hinders us from living a fulfilled and inclusive is bringing past biases and sentiments into present relationships. A friend of your enemy is not necessarily your enemy; it all depends on intentions and contributions. God can use your enemy’s friend to bless you.
