ain't no time to hate
it's amazing how
some folks feed on hate. even more amazing is how some folks will try to pollute
your happiness just because they are miserable.
i learned a long time ago to accept responsibility for my actions and their
consequences, be they good or bad.
you see no one else can be held responsible for the way i act and think.
i accept that
i am not financially rich, i chose to end my “formal” education
after high school.
i know that if I had continued i could have had a degree in something that
perhaps would help me get a high paying job,
but i chose to go out and see what else life can be.
oddly enough i have never gone a day without food or shelter.
i know right from wrong and with every decision i make i keep that in mind.
sometimes those decisions seem inappropriate for folks other than myself,
but they haven’t lived my life and don’t understand all my reasoning.
see folks can
criticize me as much as they want, but it doesn’t change the fact that
i am a good, honest person.
when people criticize a good person it makes me think that there are some
major inadequacies in the critic’s life.
some folks find it easier to defame someone’s good name rather than
take the time to identify and heal their own imperfections.
some folks run from their darkness and try to say that it isn’t their
fault,
but when they run from town to town and relationship to relationship and job
to job only to find the same problems,
it is my belief that the problem is internal and not external influence.
it's easier to
strike out at others than it is to admit that the real problems may be self-chosen.
I never thought that my simple non-aggressive life could bother anyone,
but jealousy mixed with insecurity can do almost anything.
i choose to fill my life with love and kindness and sometimes folks see what
i have and they lack,
and because they don’t know how to attain that, they try to destroy
it.
nothing shows
cowardice and insecurity like back stabbing and gossip,
if your life is miserable, hate and manipulation won’t make it go away.
it's a shame that
some folks don’t understand kindness and love,
because they are truly missing out on “the good life”.
hate will only leave you lonely.
