ON
GUARD In
my precise decision, I have become very jaded towards others.
It’s fascinating how quickly my mind races to condemn when I think
I’ve been taken advantage of. Or, if you accused me of something wrong because you think
I’ve done something bad to you. It would be wiser for both of us to think
matters through. I try not to be so
suspicious and paranoid in my daily life, but at times I get caught up in my
wild imaginations. I think it is a
sickness that’ affects all of us. It
is no wonder we have so many wars and killing out of mistrust, for if we trusted
one another, there would be no wars. However,
I wish to focus on my own personal agenda.
Is it because of my experience that I feel so helpless to control my
destiny, or have I seen so much media, it has blinded my truth of reality?
Of course there are many people out there who will take advantage of
someone in no time, we have all known the person who promises, yet does not
deliver. We have made extensions of
finances to others, only to never see that money returned to us again.
We have made close relations with people and organizations only to be
shunned by them at some future date. Considering
our family lives, many times we have been betrayed, beaten, and lied to- by our
siblings. Even cousins, and uncles
have taken advantage of us, and when our parents or “most loved person in the
Whole Wide World” turns out to be~ not speaking the
truth to us, we are at a loss as to any comprehensionable reason why someone we
have given our entire truce’ to would ever break that trust?
How could we be so wrong about someone we love?
So
today, we are more regarded’ as a people who are incapable of being close.
We fear our neighbors, we fear strangers, and we even fear our own
families. This should not be so!
Even religions and well meaning organizations have turned to manipulation! Too
get our money! Is money the only thing that’s important to people in my life?
Have I made money such a priority that it comes before me’ as a friend, and
tells me to protect it at all costs? I think sometimes, our world leaders put
far too much emphasis on gaining more economy~ instead of enabling society to
have good things in all countries. It
is our lack of ability to share resources that’ keeps us focused on nuclear
weapons, instead of nuclear spaceships. Once
we convince the leaders of every country that all people deserve a chance to be
respected, we will begin to focus on salvaging planet earth. As much as it goes “against my defensive nature”, I continue to trust people with my money, with my secrets, and with my heart. Of course I’ll probably be taken advantage of’ by those who choose to be that way, but I’ll make friendships and alliances far greater in memory than that person’s memories will ever be. Silence those “who choose” to be disrespectful, manipulative, and cruel. Make them grow old with their memories “of the kind of person” they are. I will continue to try and prove that being good is the foundation of healthy memories. I have seen that memories “are the only thing” I continue to have, as I get older, so why would I pollute my mind with evil destructive motives? I can hear the liar, I can hear the thief, and I can hear the murderer cursing me. Thankfully, he or she may take everything they can from me, but they can never take away my memories in an attempt to forget their past. Therefore, it is this “one memory” that I enjoy thinking about~ whether I am rich or poor… Thomas
