You trying t...The rogue warrior has a tender side!<br /><br />You trying to ruin your reputation or what?<br /><br />Having dispensed with the macho ribbing, I must agree. <br /><br />We spend too much time trying to define something more or less indefinable; ourselves. And we go about it in the wrong way, attempting to make ourselves fit molds that we or others have constructed. It never works. You can't define yourself, you can only know yourself, which is something most people will never truly do. <br /><br />I look around and see people who don't know how to love. I recognize them because I was one once. It was hard to admit that to myself. I did it anyway. Had to. <br /><br />Life is stories and we write them.<br /><br />It's too bad so many people write <br />what they think others want to read instead of what's in their hearts. But it's not surpising. No one wants to admit to themselves that their next McMansion is a more important thing in their life than their children are. They don't see the little things. They're caught up in things that are only small. <br /><br />You do. You understand that knowing yourself is the work of a lifetime. You've experienced the way those with less usually give more, because they have only themselves to give. <br /><br />I salute you.<br /><br />But it's not just about love. It's also about compassion and awareness and truth. And standing. Sometimes you have to punch someone in the nose, even if you love them. Because you do. Because you listen to the little voice in the deepest part of yourself and know when something isn't right and that you won't like yourself very much if you say or do nothing.<br /><br />And time of course. It's about that too; the most precious gift we can bestow on anyone. <br /><br />I thank you for sharing so much of yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2710131025792326126.post-2539018643902613702010-08-05T13:26:52.051-04:002010-08-05T13:26:52.051-04:00Fantastic post.
