He ain’t heavy he’s my brother……..
Another long day that reveals some great personal truths. I was speaking to a friend this afternoon when it hit me in the face. I really am a nice guy. All of the hate and anger that has been leveled at me as of late is not in my everyday life, just the internet. As I drove this afternoon I realized something. I spent much of my day helping people to get correct knowledge about graduate programs, editing papers, and making phone calls for professors. Then I come home and edit another paper as well. I did not have to do any of this, I could have sit alone and not been a service. But as my friend said, you are always willing and eager to help others. And then it hits me, I give and really do not worry about a return. I just honestly like to help people when I can. And all I see from the internet is anger, I decided that the angry people will not kill what is caring about me. It is easy just to not care when people are mad at you but their anger will not crush my spirit. If they do not like me it is truly their problem, I try to help and care. It leads to pain but it is who I am, I just forgive, forget, and move on. All my life I’ve been held down but now I am wise enough to see that caring and love are the only things that make life worth living. Forgiveness is a gift that is sadly, often lost in the modern world.
