MY LIFE INSIDE A BOX - PART 7

MY LIFE INSIDE A BOX - PART 7Tending The Peace

By Kevin Tower


I have been through almost four months of hell because of what is going on. I am trying to be at peace and heal the best I can. What I need most is a resolution to get me out of hear and safe.


I don't mean to disrespect anyone, but sometimes I feel the need to speak up in order to avoid a disaster. I absolutely do not want to be at odds with people who are friends of mine, but I think they should give me some consideration.


If there are women who want to spend time with me, then they should contact me and let me know. I am not making a final decision on marriage yet. I have made a decision and I do not see it changing, but its not final until I ask the question. If I associate with other women between now and then, I am sure it is only going to give me the validation I already have. Christine will certainly know everything I am doing. I will not disrespect her at all. If she even feels disrespected, she needs to tell me immediately. Likewise with Jenn, I will make sure she is on the same page.


I try to be a fairly quiet person. I try to be reserved in my communications. I don't like to say unnecessary things, especially something that could hurt someone. Some people just can't avoid talking about everything, even things that would hurt other people. When I hear people talk bad about other people, or joke about them, it is a big turn off for me. I start thinking that a person who would talk bad about other people, must be hiding something about themselves, that they don't want other people to know.


There are people who think everything is a joke, they don't care who they hurt, its all for fun and all for their own ego. I find it embarrassing to be around someone like that. That's not what a good person does. That's not what someone who loves someone else does to the other one. A lot of times, people just joke and have fun at other peoples expense, not realizing their comments will eventually get back to the other person.


I have a friend who can be arrogant and perhaps not realize it. Other people who know her, have said that she thinks she is more than she really is. Some women, she thinks are her friends, don't really respect her. They say she looks down on them, when she should be the one looking up to them. I don't necessarily see her that way. I think it is just certain things she feels strongly about and invest in. Because of that, she doesn't want to waiver as it would cause her to loose some hope.


I have another friend, who has a long history of doing things that are unethical and immoral. Many people are aware of this. At the same time, they just they just keep adding to the list of their sins. You would think, someone in their position would be a very quiet and respectful person, in order to avoid any trouble in the future. I guess, they're are not living in reality. Maybe it is just how they cope with life and their own self esteem.


What do you tell people you dearly love, who are like that? I guess you just have to be honest with them, and tell them in as polite a way as you can. You cannot just keep letting it continue. I cannot have that type of behavior around me or representing me. That's a big risk, I am not willing to take.


I always like to go back to the question: "What would Jesus do?" Perhaps the Golden Rule would be helpful for people to learn. Why not just be positive and if you feel the need to mention something about someone else, take it to them politely and constructively first.


Peace is heart to heart and reciprocates equitable empathy. I ask you to walk in the Footsteps of Peace with me and may we try our best to reciprocate equitable empathy to those we meet. Let us go forwards walking in the footsteps of peace together while making an impact in the world.
