I believe every life has a right to live, a right to follow
their goals and dreams, make plans and find their place in this world…
…However…
…When our actions hurt other people by something we do or words we say that invade another’s life… like when we steal from them, lie about them, physically harm them, cause emotional and mental anguish… then that freedom I think has now become limited, and I believe there are consequences (as there should be).
If someone has done an act that causes another pain, and regrets
it and takes efforts to make amends, then that is a very good thing;
apologizing and doing what it takes to help heal is what helps in this world, I
think. But...
If there is no regret, if there are only excuses or no show of
remorse for the painful results of hurting another human being, then I think
there is a problem, and there should be consequences.
I often think if we observed and really saw the consequences of
the pain we can do to others, and listen to the voice of other’s to understand
more, and being kind and gentle, the world would not be as I seem to see and
hear so much of it these days…
People cheating on one another…
Stealing from another…
Physically harming each other, even going so far as to torture
and kill…
Selling each other…
Lying to, and, about one another…
Spreading gossip and rumours, especially with the intention to
do harm…
Plotting some form of harm to another, including social, mental,
or emotional…
I have always felt that pointing out these wrongs, and being
completely black and white about them is the right thing to do (telling one
another when we do something that hurts others and what the results were,
pointing them out)… and trying to make efforts to help each other whom have
been harmed or in danger of someone hurting them too could help save a life,
could help change someone’s life for the better…
We can’t leave each other to be alone to deal with our own
problems. We can’t just shut out other
people either and deal with everything ourselves, that means sometimes
swallowing our pride and asking for, or, accepting help can make a world of
difference…
… It brings us closer together, and helps one another. At least,
that’s what I believe.
