Corey see Corey do
I always thought that was why….
DAMN, Nelson Mandela!
YES THEY DO!
I am FAR from a perfect person, and I assume that most other people would stop at that,
but I will not. I know I have done some wrong in my life. Stuff that really wasn’t good; in my eyes and in the others, but here in lies the rub: what of forgiveness?
I am at a point now where I feel as though I am being wrongly persecuted for serious misdeeds which I committed a little over a year ago. I have worked tirelessly to prove that I am not the person that the persecutor believes me to be, and have bent over backwards, never said “no”, put every resource I have at their finger tips and opened myself to them 100% and STILL I am accused of committing the same crime against the same victim for a reason that was, but is no longer a part of my ego.
I suppose the question is: how do you determine the length and severity of a punishment? A life for a life, I suppose is the standard exchange in our culture, so lets go off of that. Theft, assault, destruction of property, carriage or distribution of a controlled substances… all of these things have standard fines of time for perpetrators ( well, most of them anyway. For those that don’t have the finances to buy loop holes). The only exception is a so-called “crime of passion”. The very first crime of passion was committed by a US senator within the first 75 years of the United Sates. He shot a man in cold blood, after shooting his wife, because they he had been sleeping with said wife. Now, I’m not sure as to the current weight a “crime of passion” plea has in a court of law these days, but the point is, there’s a loop hole (or at least was).
I suppose we all rationalize our actions in our own ways, each way finding another way to make ourselves seem more innocent. I suppose it goes to that age-old question: “why do bad things happen to good people?” Well, assuming that the universe really is keeping an all-knowing tab on our rights and wrongs, I guess our mistake is assuming that those people who have bad things happening to them are really “good people”
Am I a good person and do I deserve to be forgiven, or am I rationalizing….
honestly, I can’t tell anymore.
Wished he could be a master of all simple things
I spend way too much fuckin’ time in my mind.
