Suspicious Minds In Relationships.

"SUSPICIOUS MINDS" IN A RELATIONSHIP:

Beloved brethren, even though I am a pastor, permit me to refer to a song, "Suspicious Minds," by the late Rock n Roll superstar Elvis Presley.

In that song, Elvis describes the troubles he was going through because his lover had Suspicious Minds.

Suspicion is not entirely evil but it can be very toxic. It is dangerous to relationships in families, in businesses, in workplaces, etc.

Suspicion is like weed in a beautiful flower garden. 

Relationships are built on the bedrock of trust.

I once had a boss who had recruited many groups of spies around himself.

1. Spies to spy his seniors. 

2. Spies to spy his juniors 

3. Spies to spy his enemies 

4. Spies to spy his friends 

5. Spies to spy his other Spies

The effect of this spying spree created a very toxic working environment. 

Having an ordinary conversation with a colleague was always a risk. 

You never knew who is a spy and who is not: who is spying you and who is not.

Secret recording of private conversations was a common practice because of the "Suspicious Minds" syndrome.

No human being who should be trusted 100%: 

but carrying Suspicious Minds in a relationship is a serious bondage.
