I have heard my own share of accusations, so i know what it feels like to be innocent yet accused of what you know nothing about. It's a really bad position to be in and sometimes the truth gets uncovered by a witness or a cctv camera othertimes it's left for God to vindicate that person in his own time.
My friends and i onced got a three days marketing job in an oil company exhibition. The man that hired us for the job happened to be our friend's husband and we promised to give him value for his money. I even worked an extra day apart from the agreed three days offer and didn't bother to charge him for it.
At the end of the exhibition he was so impressed with the way we worked for him and he paid us our money. Three days later he called us and started inquiring about the book we wrote down all the leads and prospects we got from the exhibition. We told him that we packed it all in his bag which he took inside his car. He kept insisting that he didn't see the book. He gave us all a call individually and we all insisted that the book was with him.
The next day we didn't hear from him and so we thought that the matter have been resolved little did we know that it was just the beginning. He started threatening us to provide the book or he will go extreme length to make sure that we give him back the book. At a time, i got worried and regretted ever working for him in the first place. He said all manner of things to us and even threatened to go spiritual.
My friend kept insisting that the book must be in the man's house and the reason why he haven't found it was because of his impatient. She said she would have volunteered to go over to his house and help him look for the book but she wouldn't do that because of the length the man has gone in accusing us. At a time i had to block him in order to have some peace of mind.
A week later he called us that he found the book inside his laptop bag. He wanted to compensate us for the inconvenience with money but we declined and demanded for a proper apology. He apologised for the accusations and i believe this will go a long way in building trust between us as we might be doing business with him once in a while.
This is just a tip of the iceberg of the many accusations that i have been through. It has really changed me a lot that i find it hard to condemn or accuse anyone without any evidence. If i can't prove it then you might as well be innocent. Because i know how it feels to be accused yet innocent i swore never to be the reason why someone feel that way.
I will rather let it pass.
Until i have enough evidence.
There are some accusations that it's only God and time will vindicate after all there is a saying that nothing stays hidden under the sun forever.
With time all truth shall be uncovered.
