I came here after I read your comment on steevc's last post, a comment that I liked and curious I came to your blog.
Hey you have an original and unique way of writing posts!
I don't know the details of what happened to you and I don't know who are the people who hurt you but what I believe in and what I always tell my daughter is
Those who do harm to others may receive harm back
Those who do good may receive evil sometimes but most of the time they will receive good in turn
The one who speaks evil, the one who calumniates, the one who looks more at others than at himself is because he is the first person who does not love himself and therefore hates everything that is better than him...because he would like everything to be worse than him in order to feel better
We should send bad people to Mars and not the reverse :)
And I don't give a shit if people consider this word: NO ...to be offensive.
As for NO its power is great!
When I was young I said wrong No's and wrong Yes's but with time I have learned to say right NO's or at least that I believe to be right and I have learned to accept a No as a starting point for a possible dialogue or a possible discussion or simply to understand a possible mistake of mine.
Have a nice day... on earth and not on Mars ;)
I don't always write this way but that's how it came out on that day.
And you're right about how the deceivers cannot climb; can only collapse and pull everyone else down with them.
Didn't want to single anyone out or get into describing events since putting it this way can be applied to a lot more lives. I know I'm not the only one; people can relate to it somehow I'm sure. And of course those with a clear conscience know it's not about them. The benefits of being as good as you can be; makes life easy. Fewer worries and very little fear lead to living life peacefully, with no need to smear.
