Still have work to do. And thank you for this thread, it helped me to see where I was lacking.

OP Quoting: Anonymous Coward 25904315 I am on laptop now so (hopefully) will not make so many typos. You have a good heart and this world, unfortunately, has many black hearts crawling around. They will sniff your kind out, and use you up. Unless, of course, you REALIZE the difference between being loving and being a moran. Moran= Sacrifice to everyone, even demons and asshats. Loving= Understanding that many people are morans, but you care for them anyway, WITHOUT sacrificing yourself. Cheers Being on the side of light does not mean sitting back and being walked over by evil. Thats the trait of darkness called "Cowardice" which is to refuse to fight evil. If you refuse to fight evil you are not on the side of light but of darkness. To be on the side of light means to use courage and self sacrifice which means using wisdom to know where and when to fight. If someone attacks you there is a right of defense if it causes harm to others who are innocent. If you do not defend yourself or others it is cowardice and selfishness. To be of the light does not mean to be a whimp. It means to be a true warrior. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 17283308 Forgiveness...forgiving no matter what the cost. Humility...never puffing onself up and thinking you are "Chosen" or "Special" or "Better" than anyone else. Mercy...showing mercy especially where none is actually deserved. This ties in with Forgiveness...and requires humility to operate. Love..keeps no record of wrongs done. Gives of self freely and with joy to all without exemtion of class or status. Will sacrifice self for the sake of another. never condemns another and always sees the good and hopes for the good of others. Self sacrifice...tied in with Love. Will lay aside self for others no matter the cost to self. Will die to protect others and will go without meeting its own needs to meet the needs of others without regard to status or position. Tied in with Love and Mercy. Gentleness...does not force itself on others. Speaks gently and with humilty. Does not threaten or force others and does not demand to be heard or to get its own way. Meekness...ability to suffer the stubborness of others without getting all worked up. Can see past the surface to what lies beneath but does not force its opnion even when it knows it is in the "Right" Will speak with a gentle spirit and always strive never to draw attention to itself. Courage...The ability to face any foe or situation without wavering. Does not seek to save self at the expense of others. Feels fear as is natural but does not give in to it. Marches into battle with character and steadfast resolve to do what is right at whatever cost. What contradictory and cowardly bullshit. Here is what I believe. I believe in CONSEQUENCES. If someone does something unforgivable then they are OUT of my life. According to your bullshit I should just forgive them, keep them in my life and let them screw me over again. And you know what pride is a GOOD thing. If you aren't proud of yourself then maybe there is a fucking reason for it eh? So take your moralistic, better-than-thou attitude and shove it up your ass. I take it you kinda like the dark side of things? Forgiving someone does not mean letting them stay in your life.. It just means not letting what they did to you get you down forever. Forgiveness also means in its essence to NOT hurt them for hurting you. Ive been hurt plenty. But what I did even in the pain of betrayal was chose NOT to retaliate and bring myself down to their level. Fire cannot put out fire. Forgiving someone does not mean being a dorrmat. But it also means not being a mad cannon shooting everyone dead who ever hurt you either with words or actions. Bear the pain and move on. You keep these people IN your life by always mulling over what they did. If you find yourself ten years down the track still angry at them..they are STILL in your life even if you have not seen them in ten years. Exactly. We are to LEARN from everything that happens to us and then move on. Many people like to hate and they keep what happened to them inside and it tears them apart. It shows that they never learned from that experience or suffering and most likely will repeat itself in some way in the future. “You have rights antecedent to all earthly governments; rights that cannot be repealed or restrained by human laws; rights derived from the Great Legislator of the Universe.” John Adams, Second President of the United States |
