dont tell me - "Thats just the way things are!"

For the first time in weeks… months may be… I feel light hearted and happy. Happy might be an understatement. I feel very peaceful and pure. I know it’s only a matter of time until something new will come up for me to worry about. That’s life. I hope I don’t sound very great-grandmotherish.

The sad fact of life is that you try to do your best and be as good as you can but a tiny mistake can ruin your entire reputation – your entire life. What is reputation anyway? Other people’s opinion about you? If its just opinion not based on any grounds then why bother about it in the first place?

As a believer of life after death, I think that there will come a time when people’s opinion will not matter. Gods knows us inside out and I don’t think will need any assistance in people reassuring Him. So if someone thinks your bad ask him/her to be direct and try to correct yourself. The objective should be to correct as many as possible. No one is perfect. So Piumie, if people say things behind your back it’s only because they don’t have the guts to face you or the facts to prove what they say. I have been direct with many people and have as a result got myself into very odd positions. Even lost good friends. However, I think that is far better than sticking with the silent majority or being a pretender. How was Sunday anyway?

My heartfelt congratulations go out to anyone out there who is trying to make a better day for him/herself or for someone else. If you haven’t been reading ‘Chicken Soup for the Soul’ its time you started or you would be missing out on something really good.
