I've often wondered if people would miss me here if I stopped posting. I've posted every day for over three years...Would anyone notice if I disappeared for a week?
I think it's nice that people think so highly of you that they inquire after you when you're not around; I would like to think some may do the same for me.
Ok, so...You're human it seems. Done bad things. I'd wager you've done good one's too, probably far more good than bad although only you will ever know that. We are flawed beings, humans, and could never walk a completely straight line...And besides, what one sees as bad another may see as good, or at least, neutral.
I've done bad things, actions that my own mind wants to bend around rather than contemplate, and things I would never repeat or write about. But, possibly at the time those bad things were required or dictated, maybe the bad thing was in support of a good...That's the thing about good and bad, it is fluid.
Is a murderer bad? Most would say yes.
Is a man who murdered an intruder who was raping his 6 year old daughter bad? Still a murderer...but...
Hollywood is full of stories of this nature. Gerard Butler acts in one such film called Law abiding citizen, a punchy and brutal depiction of a man doing bad things motivated by good intent. It's worth a watch if you haven't already seen it, and indeed bother to watch movies.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that bad people do good things and good do bad...Your line,
I am not worthy of the tender warmth people keep bestowing me with
is bad though...You know why? Because clearly you are worth the respect and care people bestow you with, otherwise they would not bestow it.
Anyway, this all a long-winded way of saying I hope you're ok, as well as can be. You know what you've done, that's history and cannot be changed, as with my own. But you can affect now, and the future so...Aim to be the best version of yourself as often as possible and remember that you will fail too. We all do.
My dad used to say, failure prepares us for success. He was a wise man.
Hey bro, design and create your idea life, don't live it by default.
:)
I would notice if you would dissapear from here for sure. I loved the quote about failure!
My dad was a smart man...A little of that rubbed off I guess.
It surely did!
I would! You are one of those fewest guys whom i aspire to be! Even tho ive never met you and only Maktub knows if i ever will, but ive learned so much from you that if you ever charged me for it, id have to pay in multiple bitcoins:vv the gun Knowledge alone made my hive journey worth it:))
Ive seen law abiding citizen quite a few times and honestly, i would have done the same if i were to be in clydes shoes! If not even more!
But the thing is that Im a participant, not the observer who can separate the coagulated mess that i always keep making. I am a very strong guy mate! And i can proudly say that! I can almost always keep the monsters at bay. But sometimes guilts trump over control and everything gets scattered into pieces.. I try to do good but the flicker of hope keeps diminishing! It always seems like a mirage that keeps going away as soon as i try to grab it!! Mumbles of a guy with poor self-control i guess!
Words!!
Hey there, thanks for responding and for your kind words.
Guilt is something we all carry with us, whether one cares to admit it or not. The guilt we need to be careful not to carry though, is the guilt we didn't earn.
Have a great weekend sir.
Im no sir mate:vv
I still lack the wisdom i guess.. Atleast i have you guys to show me the right way if i ever get lost:))
You too have a great weekend brother....
We all get lost...That's how we learn how to find our way back.
