~“It takes more courage to reveal insecurities than to hide them, more strength to relate to people than to dominate them, more 'manhood' to abide by thought-out principles rather than blind reflex. Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles and an immature mind.”....
It's good that I'm not angry..though I sense that lots of people are angry with me. In the stories that we weave we usually characterize other people as Heroes or villains in the tales. oh what a tangled web we weave. It really isn't that simple People are bad guys with a soul nor are they angels with a mean streak. They are flesh and blood three-dimensional people. It takes a big woman to show all your cards to wonder"why don't they just like me" not to ourselves but out-loud for others to hear and to dissect.
The above quote is signinficant to me right now. I'm learning how to abide by thought-out principles when it comes to treating people with kindness and seeing them the way God sees them. My blind reflex is to say with hell with people espcially to hell with Passive-aggressive people they have no place and what I need to do.But now I'm learning how to treat people with grace even if it seems that they do not deserve it.
Can you look past the villainousness nature of people.
Simple Thought for the day:
Life is not simple, and people can't be boxed into being either heroes or villains.
