Selfishness

RELATIONSHIPSchanged, people fall in and fall out with one another. There are good times, there are bad times. So what holds peopleTOGETHER? Assuredly, what you go through during those timesBINDyou together. But really, nothing pisses me off more thanSELFISHNESS...Granted, every now and then, we tend to put ourselves before others. But what is it that makes some people totallyDISREGARDthe feelings of others? That they only think about howHARDthey have worked for the last 8hrs, and thus how exhausted they are, or how their legs ached, or how they need that seat more. They are blind to those beside them who may have worked the 10hr night shift; or they choose toIGNOREthe ones next to them who may serve customers for a living and have been on their feet the whole day; or they simplyWAITfor someone to give up that seat to the little old lady standing precariously in the train amidst the rush hour crowd, hanging on for dear life. What would it take for us toWAKEup, to come to our senses and beNICEto everyone else? Is it so hard to just take a step back andCONSIDERhow the someone next to us have a biggerNEEDthan us? Is it so hard to just put yourself in that person's shoes for once and see from hisPERSPECTIVE?

Disagreements, quarrels, un-understood (not misunderstood)...feelings of hurt, anger and disappointment. Equates toPAINthat cuts right through ur heart. ButGOODthings do come out of bad instances. An equal opposing force results in all situations. I know those whoSTANDby me, whoCOMFORTme, who show meSUPPORTirregardless of what happens...More importantly, theyTEACHme lessons, valuable ones.

Just as today's BS lesson with Cindy was "Assurance of Answered Prayers". But I guess it was all in HIS PLANS...something especially for my ears, for me. That topic led us to what I probably need most of all times..."Forgiveness". And it wasn't just any simple discussion on Forgiveness. Let's just say I'm at least a little more enlightened now, and at ease. And with that comes PEACE.

Perhaps I can rest a little easier tonite now, despite all these ruckus today.
