The Battle Within…

Two Questions

Does a liar who tells you that 2 + 2 = 4 make the fact that 2 + 2 does equal 4 false?

or

Does an addict telling you that drugs kill make the fact that drugs kill false?

To a degree, it doesn’t matter the source, truth is truth. It doesn’t matter if the truth was delivered by God or by a rock. The truth is the truth. Well if you agree with that, why do we reject or judge truth dependent on the source that delivers it.

We all have battles within that can (if we allow them) lead us to do or say things that other times we wouldn’t want to do. But, why do we as humans throw out the baby with the bath water. I, once, heard a saying, “eat the meat, throw the bone.”

If we would all be a little more compassionate about those around us and the challenges that they face, we could produce an environment that would be more forgiving for the mistakes that people make. 99.9% of the time, we all know when we are doing something that we shouldn’t’ be doing. We don’t feel right on the inside, our spirits don’t sit still. So, those on the outside that know of people’s challenges would be much better off, encouraging and building up individuals rather than bringing them down to where you (the lowly person) maybe.

In addition, just because someone makes a mistakes doesn’t’ discredit the truth they may have said before, during or after. We are all human, with challenges that we have to overcome.

Let’s lend a hand, instead of delivering a slap.
Let’s people our fellow men (and women), instead of taking the easy way out and reducing them to a lower level…
