Not in this economy. Not even people I have known for over 30 years. And being terminally ill, will steal what little money I get. That leaves me stuck in a town without medical care. Long story short. This person has all she needs.
Actually there is one, however, he recently had a severe heart attack, was brain dead for three minutes, three times, but he is still in there, still just as kind, however we both need lots of rest. I will always remember him as the only person who believed in me (just friends).
You're right. It seems it's cool to be cruel and get away with it, which creates a bunch of cruel cowards: they're going after the easy prey if they can: elderly, disabled. They befriend you first.
You are never diminished by good actions that you engage in. It is they who only sink deeper into a hell of their own making with each misdeed they undertake. Then one day they wake up to realize that it is they who have put themselves into a dark cold place and there is nobody to help them out of it.
I may not be diminished--thanks for the kind words, but they are hell on my resources. And so far, it is I who am, literally in a dark, cold place. On the spiritual plane, I only hope there is justice. Too many saved people have done terrible things because they said the right words. They really beleive that their Jesus said, OK, now that i have died for you, go out and sin to your heart's content because you are already forgiven.
I hope your right about the future of thieves etc., but I want more. I want them to know how it feels to be me at the time they committed their act, which is condemning them to a life of hell. For this to work Reincarnation has to be real. My jury is still out, but leaning.
Revenge either actively sought or constantly prayed for is a mistake. It harms you and seldom ends in meaningful results on them. By holding onto the hate and hurt you give it the power to keep affecting you negatively. There is an idea which few people actually try. Thing is it usually works really well.
Turn your back on the whole situation and walk away. Both mentally and physicly. As for the "saved" people. God deals with those who twist gods intentions for their own ends. Let them believe what they want. It won't hurt you unless you allow it to. Walk away from them and the hurt that they revel in dishing out. All things come full circle and what you put out ther comes back to you. It is true. I have experienced it so often for myself.
I can't argue with any of that. Ie experiences, I don't know if there were connections. But it sometimes goes in another circle too. I don't' spend all my time thinking about it. I have substitute thoughts I try to remember to use in their place. It can be necessary to talk it out, or write about it (whether you share it or not.) Those things, for me, writing to myself helps most. symbolically take the issue out of me and puts them on a piece of paper. Simple, but it helps a lot.
The point is that denial doesn't work. You need to deal first. Then move on. That's the circle. Otherwise, your journey will always be heavier. The full forgiveness comes and goes (not my strong suit) but I have no time to nurture a grudge.
I really am trying hard to focus on my life's direction, but am way oveloaded right now. I've been mostly stuck in bed, so this is progress. Back to forgiveness, I let it come in it's own time, trying to remain aware, not of them, but of my goals, and what i must overcome to reach them. I justify this as test time for sitting up (after years in bed), and I am test driving this computer for now.
I just went through something just like that. This guy is sixty--you'd think he would have learned something by now. He shared a confidence and despite that what I shared had happened 40 years before, he took it back to the person who had done it. Now I have a new enemy, and I don't need enemies.
no ......... i dnt trust any 1 !!! after all we r humans and not zombies who hav unities while hunting :D !!! and yea btw ..... damn sure about myself !!
i trusted many people. but finally they destroyed my faith.then i thought this is a stupid thing.people always destroying others good qualities.then one day the world will becomes very cruel place without any humanity.
People may dissapoint you but you can't let that change you or your beliefs. Their bad is on them and is something they have to answer for. Your own actions are your own and it is on you to do your best to lead a life you can reflect on with a clear conscience and unburdened heart.
yes Eddie you are correct dear...but day by day i'm disappointing about people...but i trying to keep good mind.but i always thinking there are many people live among us like angels.
yes you're correct my dear Eddie.but i always disappointing when deal with people.because i think it happen as my sensitivity.but i always trying to keep good mind.i want to get rid of this sensitivity.then i can handle all and can be a strong minded person.
I think many of us expect too much from some people in return for attempted kindnesses. It is always nice to have your efforts appreciated by those people but that's not the reason you try to be good and trusting. Many are so wrapped up in their own paranoia and scrambled emotions that they find themselves lashing out at those who try to help and believe in them most, regardless of what we do. But we must endevor to not be demoralized or dimminished by these people. They are often wrestling with demons that prevent them from seeing past their own issues. Our satisfaction and reward must come from a higher place. Faith that you can be a conduit of the grace which comes from a higher source and faith in, for lack of a better word, good karma is our reward.
Don't let yourself become a doormat but at the same time try not to avoid the opportunity to be a generally positive influence to others around you.
The good acts you engage in are seldom redeemed by the recipient of your efforts. Usually the payback (if you choose to call it that) comes back to you from totally unexpected sources. But in general just don't bother engaging in acts of kindness if you expect a reward. That scenario by it very nature makes your effort self serving and therefore a selfish act. Doing positive thi...

Doing positive things for others in this way will most often evetually leave you in disappointment and despair. Do the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do. It is a covenenat between you, yourself and in most cases God. And know that you are strengthed as a person for the act itself. In this way you show yourself to be a trustworthy person and other trustworthy people will notice and gravitate to you.
Oh thanks dear Eddie...this is a most valuable advice i ever get.you are a great person for counseling.i want to thank for you my dear.. i mention your one sentence "I think many of us expect too much from some people in return for attempted kindnesses" this is very true dear.but now i dont expect it again.even according to our religion, we get some bad things or good things as rewards of our pre existences activities.actually we called "Karma".but not all things happen as karma.i always doing positive things to others.even from my words.im not bother to others .then always i expected good things from others.not helps.only good friendship.thanks again dear...
I am grateful that you have found something positive in my words my dear. However I am just a human being myself. This is just what I believe and what has shown itself to be true to me over the years of my life. May blessings and kindness shower you and your loved ones.
Yes, I think you can trust. I think everybody (or at least all the people I've ever met) only wants the best for you. Maybe for some people unless it means something bad for themselves.
Then again, I've never been betrayed...
