It is so easy to play the blame game. To find faults in others. To make yourself feel better by putting others down.

Having seen it done to others and having been on the receiving end a number of times, it makes me wonder.

Why do we make comments about people, comments that we personally would not say in front of the person? Does it make us feel that much better? Does it really make that much more sense?

Admittedly, I do it when I am caught off guard. When I am in a moment of panic. Or anger. I should learn to choose my words wisely and not let them pass my lips in haste.

I feel displaced. Like time has escaped me. I want to breathe. To feel every sensation that runs through my body. And I need to love and never stop loving.

I let little comments get to me. It hurts me more not to react to them. So this is me, taking the thorns off one by one.

Let us remember Him in our days. Let us remember the pain and suffering that He went through so that we may live.

Live to understand that you are strong enough to take on spite. To face your fears. To try a second time.

To feel that pain in your heart and be thankful that it is still beating.

Here's to striving for what you believe in.
