I absolutely agree, shouldn't let our feelings be an excuse for treating others badly...not cool.
I do the same thing, one learns that there is quite a lot wrong with us sometimes, but thats when the magic happens and we become so much better, especially with love, and then it doesn't really matter even anymore that we're not perfect. I think that if we can just do that one thing right, we in a sense becomes perfect anyway, not trough doing everything right, but with a good and right heart, made perfect by love.
You sound like a person with much love to give, I can't help but find that heartwarming too see. I find that sometimes when life gets a bit rough, and we easily start to become more self centered caring for someone else can get us back on track. It's really quite therapeutic even I think.
Hope & Faith~ they most often only starts working at times of pain and when we need them the most, but they are resilient....
Aih aih, yes, I love being childish, guess thats just an other way to say that I am :P But just like you also agree on, having the ability to have character and maturity when ever it's called for is highly necessary unless we live in a world without anybody else in it. Or else our immaturity will do bad and wrong things at the expense of others.
Yes perhaps there is more red about me than I myself realize. Actually I think red was my first favorite childhood color, before it shifted to green. Makes me think about remembering and rediscovering my roots perhaps.
To be continued...
