Reaping What you Sow
Please just stop. (doesn't bother me any, I can turn this to my advantage laughably easily) But, you were given a CHANCE to turn out a human being worthy of goodness and given a chance to build strength of character.
Children are the arrows that you shoot into the future. Do you really want your arrows so tainted? A reading of your family history should evoke pride and inspiration.
Of course, depending on one's definition of PRIDE and INSPIRATION ... well, do what you will.
But, remember: I have peace, love, humility, goodness, kindness, mercy .... you know all that stuff --- over here on the light side.
Do you really think there is strength of character in gang associations and cookie cutter aspirations ? Grimy.
To each his own, just thought I'd mention it but I have tons of stuff to talk about !!
(gang unity is on my list for one day this week, man it's frickin' heart-warming to watch)
