Can truth stand the test of time. Does infidelity discredit the truth of an initial promise or statement, particularly in a relationship? Well, this is a rather interesting question. The spoken word “truth” still exists. No one can destroy it. The one who broke the promise has not been faithful to the spoken word, to self and to the other. Nevertheless, the original statment of truth still exists. Thus my true question; then why is it that the betrayed feels so much pain? I think the pain arises because words by themselves are insignificant. The essence of words in communicating are the meaning of words, and most appropriately the emotions these meanings conjure or evoke inside of us. These meanings and emotions, first come from our context of origin (family, friends, neighbourhood) when we were little. Therefore, though on one hand the truth in the original statement is unchangeable, the ability to be faithful ovetime to these spoken truth may be no more. Then if the spoken truth cannot be sustained is it still credible?
…a leader…
… A leader takes the future,
and makes it palatable to their people in the present,
The people must see, hear, touch, smell and feel this reality,
All in the now,
Thus,
It becomes a hope that is founded in the now,
A now that propels into the future…
….goodbye…
…It is ok to say goodbye,
Feel the pain of separation,
And move on…
…speak…
…Today,
When confronted with a personal situation of injustice,
Do not resort to violence in words or actions,
But with all due respect,
Stand and speak…
…choices…
…Is it easy to make a life gving choice,
When there are so many temptations calling unto us,
Even informing ourselves does not always make it easier,
Yet this pre-knowledge is critical to discerning process,
A wise lady once told me,
Every choice should contribute positively to life,
And thus humanity…
…life…
Today I wondered about life,
I ask myself this question,
What really is life about?
What is the purpose for life,
This question was beyound my understanding,
It needed to be more precise,
I narrowed it down to this,
What is the goal or end of life,
What are the things necessary,
That will allow us to be satisfied about this life,
When we come to the end,
One word came to mind,
Love,
Though not love unto itself,
But love that embraces humanity,
In its quest to find its Creator,
God.
…forgiveness…
…to forgive someone,
Is to walk the road of love,
To walk the road of love,
Is to fogrive and much more…
…to love…
…Falling in love is beautiful,
It warms the heart,
However, to fall in love only for the sake of the other,
May lead to pain and hurts,
The other is never the final purpose of falling in love,
There has to be a third dimension,
Should we belong to a religious persuasion,
Then this third other is God,
Should we not have a religious persuasion,
Then fall in love for the sake of humanity,
Which may still be limiting,
To fall in love only for the sake of the other,
Can lead to possessiveness and an addiction to the the other.
There is nothing else in the universe,
To really live for but love,
You see love comes from the Eternal God,
And so has to return.
And as it rerturns,
We too are caught up in this act…
Here on earth.
…hope…
…The more I think of hope,
The more it dawns,
That it is simply the ability,
To see the future while in the present,
A future that gives life.
A future that is attainable in the now,
And not later…
Hope is always in the present,
All because of God’s eternal presence…
…childhood experiences….
…Our Childhood experiences,
Are very critical to who we are today,
They eventually determine our reactions to external situations,
It is the responsibility of all adults,
To ensure that children are raised in a healthy and life-giving environment…
