Conflict of Interest.

”Hey!” I wasn’t even in the room!

Means I am innocent.

Now.

Get out of my way.

Excuses. Excuses. Excuses.

When the lies end.

The truth begins.

Selling a lie. (ct) Desperately hoping and attempting to cash in on another’s “stuff”. But. Only if it is the good “stuff”.

The useable stuff.

The appearance of propriety.

Close calls. (bs)

Dance all you want.

Hopefully you have fit yourself into proper fitting shoes.

No appearance of staggering or stumbling—Not now—with so much health at stake, so many’s health at stake.You may not be able to afford their 👞👢👡👠🥾🥿🩴price tomorrow.

Why is it the skinny ones check the sugar content on the label?

A COI and coy are actually the same thing.

The difference in one letter. The core of the meaning the same.

Multiple interests, financial, or otherwise, and serving one interest could involve working against another.(wk)

A pre-existing condition, shall we say.

”What’s the biggie?”

You ask.

What’s the big deal.

A LOT.

Please do not doze off when we talk about values and character. The main reason we are here.

Huh.

You really ought a put the phone down,

”The personal interest of an individual or organization might adversely affect a duty owed to make decisions for the benefit of a third party.” (wk)

Bet you wish you paid attention now.

An “interest.”

As in, I do not want to lose my lotta lot. I plan to swipe yours from right under your nose.

Conflict occurs, conflict arises if within a particular decision-making context an individual is subject to two coexisting interests that are in direct conflict with each other.

Busted.

As in,

You.

Caughtcha. Red-handed.

The texts threw you under the bus,

Sorry.

When an individual finds themselves occupying two social roles simultaneously which generate opposing benefits or loyalties.🕺🏻💃

Caught. With your hand in the cookie jar.

Fact: An “older person” is considered anyone over 60. By some measures, some places.

What a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive!

All the bougese golf balls in the world will not repay the damage done.

Kudos! A for effort! Keep at it! Hack away and tear up the greens to your heart’s content. Hope you are having the time of your life!

Wouldn’t it have been so much easier to just tell the truth?

Just wonder in’.

The beautiful thing about a second chance.

Is. We have the chance to be better.

Not just pretend to be better.

Wouldn’t it have been so much easier to just tell the truth?

Ask yourself: What is it you do not have that you want right now?

What are you willing to do to get “it”.

Who would you throw under the bus, and when, how often?

Conflict.

Creat more conflict?

Are you that, bored?

I am not.

What to do. What to do.

Looking in the mirror may be one of life’s harshest realities.

How ya’ looking these days?

Weathered?

Tattered?

Worn?

Worried?

What’s going on ‘neath the surface of you.?…..

There ARE two sides to every story.

A beginning.

An end.

What’s the hurry?

Where ya’ going?

Running from the truth?

Or.

Running from the lies?

Contending interests must be clearly identified.

Clearly defined.

And.

The process for separating them is rigorously established.(wk)

Typically. The conflicted individual either gives up one of the conflicting roles or else recuse themselves from the particular decision-making process in question. (wk).

Not to be confused with the occurrence of inappropriateness.

Why?

Risky.

Risky business.

Because very few know what lies deep in the recesses of another.

Even today.

With 24/7 surveillance.

The heart knows.

What to do.

Bet you are now wishing you expanded your horizons in the right direction when you had the chance.

When you wake up the day you realize what doing the right things means.

Is the day freedom enters you soul and the mirror begins smiling back at you!!

Until then.

Pull your weight.

Carry another’s weight.

And. Wait.

For the next conflict that challenges your way of thinking.

Consistency is the key

Constancy is the key.

Get yourself into position.

To withstand the pressure without having to

Bail.

Bail out.

It may seem mundane, Boring even.

When in fact, it is quite the opposite.

Invigorating!!

Humbling.

Not everyone was cut out to be the starting high school quarterback. Even when the secret monies pad the shoulder and pad the knee pads.

Settle for the best.

Be the best passenger with the driver who knows. From experience, what it means to treat another person with respect. Kindness. Regard. It does matter.

One day you find yourself on a long distance journey that you did not plan on taking.

And.

It turned out to be the only bump-in-the-road way to get to the bottom of the conflict. The conflicts. On the journey, at times, when the trust breaches breached along the way, the tires ran outta air, the gas was far away, in the next faraway town.

The one you put your trust in, your driver, knew how to get you there safely and soundly.

Thank you lucky stars.

Thank your lucky stars.

That you began to trust at the time you began to trust.

Setbacks and all.

Nostalgia has a way of confusing our better senses, our better reasoning abilities, our ability to see things and hear things clearly.

Believe in the idea that most people are good.

Sainthood is for the other-worldly. Not a bad thing to strive for. Down here in reality-vile, when driving through the peaks and valley and mountainous regions, ride with someone who has been there.

Done that.

Knows how it might or may turn out.

And is willing to take the long drive with you.

To figure out the ins and outs, the ups and downs, the curves, the curve balls the u-turns.

Sit down. Next to that person. Be quiet. Watch. Learn. Listen closely. Watch for the next road block. Learn the lesson. Repeat some. Don’t repeat some. Respect the driver. Respect the wisdom.

Yield.

That way, next time you will avoid barreling into another with the distracted craziness of lunacy.

Avoid becoming blind.

Blindly following the wrong leader.

Blindly trusting the wrong leader.

Lack of trust in the car as the passenger, driving with the wrong driver, can cause a host of problems, unnecessary problems. Unplanned problems. Unexplained consequences that never seem to work their way out of the life equation, life’s equations.

What to do. What to do.

Weakness derived.

Weakness divides.

Tap out?

Opt out?

Who knows.

I know what I think.

What say you?
