It will be done to you as you believe. A belief or a thought is your choice in the subject matter at hand. This is a very powerful application within the human being and is no respecter of person either. If not contained, modified, examined and then refined, a defective thought can lead you astray using you to do so. Pride is used by defective beliefs liberally and must countered as soon as it rears its ugly head
RIGHT AND WRONG GAMES
When I was a young and innocent young pup who wanted to conquer the world without a plan, I believed that everything I did and said was the correct and only way. Why not? Everyone else had an opinion and I thought mine is as good as there's so why not mine. However I left out the facts, the other persons position and most importantly...charity in living out those beliefs. Emotions don't support charity (love) but right and wrong dynamics instead and in a selfish way too
FEEDBACK & INPUT
A weapon that can be used against someone with defective thinking is feedback and input. It doesn't always stop the renegade doer or thinker, but it allows some sort of interference and best case it plants a seed into the un-refined human being that at some point may sprout and cause that person to come to a more even balance called their senses hopefully sooner rather than later
BATTLE OF THE WILLS
It takes a strong person to stand up to someone who is stubborn and has their mind made up. Who would take that on and even consider staying with it for any length of time? Parents should be able to relate as who hasn't come into a battle of the wills with a willful child while raising one? Whoever backs down loses and some parents for whatever reason back down. The child gets worst from there
MARRIAGES NEED MAINTENANCE
Pretty common in divorce too. Correction, suggestion, instruction and finding a common ground has to take place for the marriage binding to take affect. Many beliefs have to meld and compliment one another until a few operate as one. You can still have two people who live and love differently but in one harmony. Failure to modify or practice this leads to a 70% divorce rate..
SINS OF THE GENERATION
I had weak parents who had weak parents who couldn't contain my unusual energy and I was a handful I will admit. However, who said it would be easy? I will tell you who. It was all those 1950 TV shows like Ozzie & Harriet, Father knows best, Leave it to Beaver where all they showed was some perfect family and how easy it was to just live together. Disney did this too. The prince and the princess live happily ever after? They never fought, argued, spent the night out, went home to mom, threw things or got into family issues? Puh-leeasse
KNOCK DOWN...DRAG OUT...but why?
It took 3 strong people who loved more than themselves and who thought I had some much to give and to live that stood up to me and made sure I knew how I was not conducting myself in the more honorable ways. They kept after me, endured some pretty mean encounters, came back for more and when I would not budge, they would not budge even more... making me worse before I was to get better because I resisted
CHANGE HURTS BUT IS NECESSARY
Eventually, I was forced to visit with myself and come to terms with my thinking and doing and saw how they were not lined up with mainstream people places and things. I was an embarrassment to the Universe and too self-centered. You see with all good growth, the first thing shown to you is what is holding it all back. It is not pleasant but oh so necessary. With help and determination change can and will have its way
TO TRULY LIVE
In the end you go through a lot of short term pain periods but it is followed by lots of long term pleasures... one category after another and before you know it, there are no enemies to be sighted. Only adventure, mystery, predictable problems that lead to growth and the thought that what one person can do another can do...
I WAS THAT MAN...
There is one now. Another "rough rider" full of energy and no place to go person... I think I will head over there to try to help that person see a little more clear... sort of like the ones who helped me see...
I was blind...but now I can see
