I’ve been writing about my experiences in dating older men. And although my aim was to show how to look at
So, to keep the peace and love others, I deleted the three articles. I did not have to delete them, they were my creation, and I have the freedom of speech. I did not use anyone’s name, date, or any identifiable detail. However, I am Pro-peace, and I must love. How can I love others? I know I like to bring peace to others soul, and Love is not just a feeling. It is an active and conscious emotion.
The Bible says that Love is patient; love is kind. It does not envy; it does not boast; it is not proud. It does not dishonor others; it is not self-seeking; it is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hope, always perseveres.
So, I must choose to do these things. I am not the most patient of persons, and I am proud. So I must work on calming myself and listen. I show patience when I actively listen. I show I am humble when I admit I need help and seek help. So, by taking my articles down, I am showing I am willing to love others, by giving respect to my elders and when we show respect to authority even when they don’t deserve it, we show honor. So, I am honoring others.
I am not self-seeking. I seek to be happy within me but do not seek wealth by taking from others or what others have. Being easily angered is a hard thing to control. For me, when I get angry, I go for a walk or jump in my pool. I must step away to keep control, but I am working on it. I can let things go without having to spend an hour at the gym, making all deaf with my music.
I can’t keep a record of wrongs. The good thing of having a mental episode is that my mind works differently now. I can keep secrets like a champ because I will forget them as soon as I am told. I can’t hold a grudge. However, I will remember how I felt, and that will fuel my prayers. I do not like the evil things that are happening in the world; I dislike to listen to the news. When I was younger, I wanted to help others, that was one of the reasons why I served in the Army, but even there I mess up so many times. My Soldiers used to ask me to park my broom in a safe place every morning. And today, I am retired and have no TV. I get my news through the internet news.
Love protects, trusts, hope, and perseveres. So, think about it. It is a hard job to love someone that we have a sexual and romantic love that binds us and is supposed to be our husband or wife, so imagine having to love all people around us. Paul is asking a lot in this Bible verse. Some people are best to love them from a distance, and I haven’t found any verse that says we must be chummy and best pals with all. But we do have to love others regardless of who they are. That is a hard thing to do. There are so many irritating people.
But, because I made up my mind to honor myself, my family, and my G-d, I am following this template. However, I had to find my internal love first. I had to learn to love me first and now that I have reached that level of acceptance and love for me, now, I can love others as I love myself. And those that I think are assholes; I will still love them and pray to the Lord to help them be a better version of themselves.
So, I deleted the three articles, because I am trying to love the two people that contacted me and I hurt with the three blog entries. But wait, I am not a saint. I am a helion that can’t get her head out of the books most days and can create havoc in an instant. So, do not think for a second I am nice. I am just trying my best not to mess up this chance of life. Hugs to all!
Have a blessed day
