Controversial

Ok, so I have to say it: sometimes I wish that certain people were not on the earth. Sometimes there are people who cause so much pain and destruction that I believe the world would be a better place without them. And then...my conscience kicks in, and my Christian upbringing, and my positive attitude and my guilt. And then I remember all my own faults. And then I pray for forgiveness. But it doesn't help. I still wish that I could rid the earth of certain people who cause so much pain that I cannot figure out what good purpose they serve here. And then I get it...this place is a testing ground...a testing ground of all that we hold dear, all that we struggle with, all that we agreed to before we were placed here on this amazing and horrible place. And finally, I realize that we are all flawed, and that above it all I believe that goodness (overall) prevails...and that there is hope...and ultimately, that what goes around comes around, and that making that happen is not my job, thankfully, because I would be sitting on death row right about now. Deep breath. Deep, deep breath.

  2. Great post. That is one of the hardest things about having our life experience is to allow others to walk their own paths. Wether we believe it is right or wrong they are on their own journeys. Could you imagine if the world was exactly how we wished it would be? I think it might get a little boring. lol

  3. Thanks for stopping by Carol. Things tend to get a little caffeinated around here! Bring Stacy next time and make sure your cups are full. : )

  4. My Grandmother used to say, "It's not heaven here." when a tough situation would arise. Also, trying to handle very difficult people makes you really smarter, despite potentially better ways to do so, and despite the energy it takes.
