This will be the second time in my 40 years that I've displayed arrogance like this, and lord forgive me for it, but at the same time - I have to say - that if you want to challenge me on my intellect, values, principles, faith, etc, then you may as well be bringing a knife to a gun show.
I will never go quietly into that good night. My edit button will always be broken. I will always make mistakes, muck things up, but in my heart.. In my heart I am the ONLY ONE that knows where I stand, and where I stand is ALWAYS In YOUR best interest. I will always see the best in YOU (no matter who you are), and I will always fight for the best you want to be. I'll always fight for the best I can be also.
Because I have lived so long trying to train my brain to think positive, be able to put myself in others shoes, and still find compassion, understanding, and forgiveness for others faults... I achieved that VIA wanting so badly for me to be seen for who I am, be able to fully understand others struggles, and then finally realizing that some one has all along... GOD!
I have been through so much in life, more than most I know, but even the people I know that have been through WAY WORSE than me, guess what they discovered long before me? Forgiveness in self, miracles all around us, kindness, compassion, understanding, effective communication, and FREEDOM from guilt. Guilt is there for a reason... it means you have something to learn from it about yourself. Once you own up to it, make amends, it's gone... poof... will never be a problem again...
When you be honest with WHO YOU ARE ALWAYS every day, and retrain your brain to be positive, and in the best interest of everyone you love, or have not even met yet, well... everyone else that tries to hurt you may as well be bringing a knife to a gun show.
They have way more to learn than you at that point.
If you're a good person - your guns will never be seen by the knife wielder. Instead, you'll go out of your way to talk them into letting that knife go... you'll try to be a mentor, guidance, a shoulder to lean on, and a positive influence ALWAYS.
When you get to that level of mentality in life... life is so peaceful. Oh you'll still care just as strongly as you did before, but you'll now have the tools, etc, to help those that couldn't help you when you needed those answers/guidance. In other words, always be a guiding light to everyone, no matter what they are going through. Everyone is capable of learning, and becoming the better person they wish they can be...
Be the light in their darkness...
