Raincloud Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Discovering the true extent of your own selfishness.I spend a lot of time pointing out the wrongs of other people, but I've had a peak behind the veil tonight at how my life has been going and I am not happy with it at all.Consumed with my own problems, creates a spiral of selfish decisions and lashing out in anger and despair. It's hard to see what little I've done, when I have been given so much. I guess this is why people start again and change course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kaman Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I see no problem in putting myself first. It is when I don't have anyone in second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. that it becomes a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Do not be so hard on yourself. We have all been there and done things we really regret but I am sure that is not everything about you or me. We can only do our best and learn from our mistakes. Change if you want but remember perfection cannot be achieved. So be gentle with yourself my friend. You have gained a lot of respect from people like me.

Well, the recoil is the treat, a new expanded sense of unselfishness races in to fill out the balance, congradulations.I spend a lot of time pointing out the wrongs of other people, but I've had a peak behind the veil tonight at how my life has been going and I am not happy with it at all. - Watch out for the recoil here, someone will knock the BE JESUS out of you.Consumed with my own problems, creates a spiral of selfish decisions and lashing out in anger and disparEasy fix, when feeling bad go help someone even worse off, does real fine.It's hard to see what little I've done, when I have been given so much. Go with the "Crowns in Heaven" concept. When my friend accused me of male nursing him, I heard a ding-ding-ding, a Crown in Heaven to the man in the starchy underware.I guess this is why people start again and change course.

Bro. Hex Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Ray, I don't know any "nice" way to say this, so I will just "spit it out"...If you are going to include all this repetitious "video crap" in your posts,I am going to block ALL of your posts (make them invisible)so that I don't have to keep looking at it OVER-AND-OVER.,This is a forum "for adults", and your posts look like the work of an adolescent.You may have something to SAY that is worth READING...but I am not going to subject myself to all the SCREEN-HOGGING VISUALSthat you keep regurgitating... in order to find out.Grow up.

toktu Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 No one said that the paths that we walk would be flat, straight and debris free. The realization of our own faults is a mile marker along our path. And for that congratulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
