Lately I’ve been thinking about the folks that are ‘tormented’. The ones that think they
are tormented because they think they have a ‘tormentor’. They cannot think of a scenario wherein they leave their
‘tormentor’ and thus ends their ‘torment’. They think their only path to
serenity is to destroy their ‘tormentor’.
They think the appropriate weapon to accomplish this task is to tear down their
‘tormentor’.
This got me to thinking that perhaps thinking was the real source
of their ‘torment’ is my humanity. But how can that be? Don't ‘they’ value humanity?
How can this element that separates us from the animals be deemed a curse by
those who feel ‘tormented’ by me? Isn't the alternative to humanity, inhumanity?
Is there another alternative to give relief to my ‘tormentees’? Ask
yourself this question, "What do you
do when you’ve above and beyond to show others the human side of your humanity
and they just feel ‘tormented’ by you?"
Unfortunately, there are scores of men who are unable, for whatever reason, to accept any responsibility for anything in their lives. They are the perpetual "victims" of whoever they deem the victimizer to be. Regardless of the situation, they seem helpless and hopeless against these insurmountable odds and the drama is endless.
ReplyDeleteIn such circumstances, I remain cordial but distant. I refuse to permit them to "pull me down." Open the door, and they'll make themselves right at home.
...A Friend
ReplyDeleteWho far beyond the feebleness of any vow or tie
Will touch the secret place where I am really I,
To know the pain of lips that plead and eyes that weep,
Who will not run away whey you find me in the street
Alone and lying mangled by my quota of defeats
But will stop and stay to tell me of another day
When I was beautiful.
Will you be my friend?
There are so many reasons why you never should.
