To be wrongly accused can be so painful and as well harmful cause it can lead to the deterioration of the accused health. I've seen a situation whereby an Elderly man was wrongly accused at his place of work for theft.
His boss accused him wrongly, this hurt the man so much cause there was no one to defend him, he collapsed and almost lost his life cause of the shock. Eventually he was vindicated when one of the robbers was caught, but his health was badly affected.
So I believe everyone must cultivate the habits of finding the truth first before accusing someone wrongly because it can affect the accused person's health and might lead to depression. This matter of accusing someone wrongly shouldn't be taken with levity, cause once the accused is depressed the only solution in the person's mind will be suicide to end it all in death.
As for me, I hate to be wrongly accused. I always try my possible best to mind my business and never interfere in others matter so that I won't stand as a witness or termed a backbiter when their secret conversations link out.
My Experience
While I was an undergraduate I came across a lady who was a cousin to my course mate. The lady had it rough during her secondary school days, she got pregnanted then gave birth at age 15. Luckily for her, with the help of her Mom and some relatives she was able to pick herself up from the scratch and later got admitted into the university. Her Mom helped her in taking care of her child while she was away in school. So no one knew she had given birth, except those that are close to her.
I really like the lady cause she's intelligent and very hard working, she has side hustle after school so as to make earns meet and to send money home to her Mom for her upkeep and that of her son. Through her hustling, she met a banker; the guy was really into her and not too long he profess his love to her. She also loves the guy because he was caring and passionate about her but this lady was scared to tell him she already had a son.
She thought in herself to keep it as a secret cause she doesn't want to lose the guy. She came to me for advice on what to do and I literally told her to be truthful to him, I told her a relationship built on lies will never last that if I was the one, I will tell him that the boy he usually see with my Mom is my child....the decision is now for the guy to make while I was telling her to be truthful to her lover her cousin (who was my course mate) said she shouldn't. The discussion got heated up, so I had to keep quiet and later told her to decide for herself.
Just 3 days after the discussion, the lady called and abuse the hell out of me for telling her boyfriend that she had a son. She even threatened that anywhere she see me, I would regret been born. I was confused and as well surprise of the accusation, I had to call her Mom and her cousin to tell them it's not me but all fall to deaf ear. No one believed me, I was sad and didn't know what to do.
On the long run, we later discovered that it was someone (the guy's friend) who was her senior in secondary school that told the guy she had a son when she saw her pictures on the guy's phone. I was so happy she knows the truth, at least I was vindicated.
She later begged the guy and they reconcile but I didn't interfere at all, I just neglected their side and mind my business. Since then, I've learnt to limit the way I interfere in people's personal life to the extent of knowing their secret. I can't have High Blood Pressure on anyone's matter
