You Shall Not... Be Inhuman...

Today I was scrolling on WSBTV's Network Site, reading random news stories about murders, politics, and other stories that made me realize that this country is going downhill. In scrolling, clicking and reading, I remembered that I wanted to follow up on a Robbery case that I saw on the news one evening. 

The story was on how multiple houses had been robbed over the coarse of a month, and the robber wasn't after jewels, TV's, or other materials that we deem valuable. He was stealing food. A man risked his freedom breaking and entering into someones home, but he gained a sense of fulfillment in his stomach with a strangers' food. 

I am not, by far, patronizing that man. I am, however, highly upset and disappointed at the recent report I read on a woman that stated "“He goes through the refrigerator, and as you can see, I’ve left it bare, because I’m not buying food for him anymore.”

The Eight Commandment is very clear, and I am all for it. But you mean to tell me, that One man has broken into your house Six Times in One Month, not stolen true valuables, TV's, Raped or Killed you, and you Refuse to help him. 

No. He was not right for breaking & entering in your home and stealing, that is 100% wrong, but out of ALL of you in the Avalon Estates in Lithonia, not ONE person realized that the man was simply Hungry? 

I am willing to bet that even ONE act of random kindness would have put and end to the madness. ONE person could have left ONE paper bag with simple groceries, or some kind of meal, and he would have been fine. Instead of an act of kindness from one person, an entire neighborhood turned against another human being to simply Not Feed them.

That is sad. And to anyone reading this, yes, I feel sorry for that man. Who's to say that YOU never have to go through that! That You will never have to rob someone to feed yourself or your family. Who's to say that you won't lose your job or foreclose on your house in a few months. Out of Six Times, after the Third... You didn't say "Let me leave some leftovers for him Outside my Home so he wouldn't break my door and alarm to come INSIDE." It took SIX to say "I'm not even going shopping, so he can't eat anything."

It's Inhuman. But I'd bet that the same woman and same people are avid speakers on God and is the First to speak on The Eighth Commandment, not realizing that the bible also says "Give to him who keeps on begging from you, and do not turn away from him who would borrow [at interest] from you." [Matthew 5: 42]

This country's actions reveal that 'Every Man is For Himself'... And put simply: No, I am not a Saint. I am not perfect, and I understand that every person has a certain level of selfishness. But I have a part of me that's called compassion that wouldn't have allowed me to condescend another human being, and turn my back on them. 

"In everything I have pointed out to you [by example] that, by working diligently in this manner, we ought to assist the weak, being mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus, how He Himself said, It is more blessed (makes one happier and more to be envied) to give than to receive." [Acts 20: 35]

"One "

• One time of pain can cause a mountain of struggle to hike through. 
• One moment of happiness can be passed on to the next. 
• One break-up can cause pain forever. 
• One title can create a power couple. 
• One stumble can cause a broken bone.
• One cast can mend a bone.
  
• One argument can cause the question of love between two people.
  One touch can eliminate the hurt that it caused. 
• One doubt can cause paranoia. 
• One trust having person can be a great asset. 
• One moment can either cause, or be the result of another. Either way it goes... Be careful how a situation ends up... So make sure that all situations are at ease and resolved before assuming that the one situation hasn't made the other uncomfortable. One thought before One action can change One situation and prevent One cycle of emotion from evolving the wrong way.
  
• One broken heart can be fatal.

2009 Closing Thoughts

Characteristics of a person change with experience, trials and tribulations. In 2009 I've watched people go in and out of my life and I am very content with the way the year has ended.
I feel like I've been given a chance to 'start over'...
The people in my life are as positive as it gets. Not to mention that I have found a sense of stability and consistency.
I still have to work on some things, such as confidence in the relationships that I am involved in...family, friends, etc...
But my trust issues, love issues, anger issues, weight issues, esteem issues...are all dealt with and are now to a level that meets my satisfaction.
SO! In 2010, I should have a great year! How About You?!

"If It Means A Lot To You"

“If you love them, let them go.”

This quote doesn’t entirely mean leave them. The quote means if you love them; let them do as they please.

Be something greater than the person that you were when you loved them. Grow stronger. Smarter. A person with a broken heart should be able to stand straighter than before. Take what you’ve learned, take heed, and move ahead.

Lingering over Facebook, Twitter, etc., isn’t going to act as the glue to hold your heart together.

Talking bad about the person that your ex is dating isn’t going to act as a needle and thread to mend your relationship with that person.

Tears, panic attacks, text messages, acts of frustration aren’t going to enforce walls of protection against thinking about them.

Forcing paranoia upon another isn’t going to make anyone look at you as the stronger person in the ended relationship.

Methods of release are warranted. Methods of release are suggested. Methods of madness are unnecessary.

1 year, 2 years, 4 years, 6 years… wasn’t a waste. Emotions weren’t wasted. Experiences were earned. Lessons were learned.

Now. Let. It. Go.

"Ignorance is Bliss"

My friends and I have had a debate over whether or not it’s okay to go through a man’s things.

Granted, I have been there, done that, and no…I will never again.

Their side is: Why wouldn’t I want to know whether or not my guy is cheating? I deserve to know. I need to know whether I’m wasting my time.

My side: “Ignorance is Bliss”.

I wouldn’t want to ruin my happiness even if it was there. Not to say if something was thrown in my face I would ignore it, but, I’m not going to panic over “what if’s”…

If he puts his phone on silent, then he does. If he doesn’t answer the phone, he doesn’t want to. If he doesn’t call, he’s busy. He’s doing something he either needs, or wants to do. Question is: What are you doing? He’s giving you space to do things you want or need to do, respect his time.

(Same Goes For Man v. Woman)

As for wanting to know whether or not I’m wasting my time: Save it. If I am happy, then I’m sufficient in my ignorance. My happiness will never be a waste of my time. A waste of time would be finding passwords, cracking codes, etc. #DoingTooMuch!!!

A lot of people waste their time and energy raveling through things to find what may or may not be there.

Be Grown: Worry About Thy Own, and You’ll See That You’re Fulfilling Each Day With Bliss.

Embracing Haterism

While text talking with a friend, she made me realize something that a lot of people might go through. She said... "I tend to forget at times. I guess it's because I'm not a hater. Lol"

Which is true, she is definitely not.

But it was after I told her that sometimes us as 'real' people have to realize that we have to look at haters as well... (cliche)... 'Motivators'

Take your average 'hater'. Hating because of something you have. Something that they want. Not realizing that with work and praise, you worked hard to get what you have.

So...in REALISTIC perspective... without Haters, how would you know you're doing something right?

Something you worked hard for, people start envying, and instead of asking the steps to get there.

Pray and thank God every chance you get. Love & don't mind giving anyone advice on how to get where you are. There is no reason why they can't achieve greatness. That would be a 'hater' move not to share those things. Lol... We're too blessed for that

Why spend each day in misery?

realism

Noun

1. awareness or acceptance of things as they are, as opposed to the abstract or ideal

2. a style in art or literature that attempts to show the world as it really is

3. Philosophy the theory that physical objects continue to exist whether they are perceived or not

realist n
realistic adj
realistically adv

In the words of the wise: Hating is a full time job... So why do something you don't get paid to do?
