I had to tell someone to shut-up the other day. It is not my choice of words nor do I even have it in my Psyche to use. If there ever was a time to do so however, it visited with me and and the one needing to hear it the other day. Why should they stop? Knock it off? Cease & desist? For their sakes that's why! That's the love but appears otherwise
HOW IT IS SAID MATTERS
Of course behind every word, deed or approach is the motives or reason for such conduct or action. In my case, if a man like me has to reach out to a person who is not approachable, argumentative, closed minded and self-destructive who wont listen, shut-up is my last resort in their favor not mine
WE ALL KNOW THIS ANSWER
I meet people who are used to having their way for one reason or another and some of those ways are not only dysfunctional but destructive too. What happens when no one takes the time to feedback or input to another who needs it badly? When someone turns a blind eye to a wrong? The answer is obvious!
NOTHING HAPPENS
There's your tragedy. The person who needs to be stopped is not, and they continue searching whether they know it or not for the stopper. If you love someone, and the opportunity arises for you to put a loving foot down on something that will benefit or help them, please do. If not, life becomes a gamble
HOPE FOR THE BEST?
What do you think drives juvenile delinquency? There are many causes for the start-up but the cure is always the same. These kids, these young adults (and others) need to be stopped before it gets worse and police, courts of law and others who are cruising for a bruising will step up but not in a loving way
INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS
Don't think for a minute that people are not crying out via their behaviors for loving kindness and attention because it is being expressed everyday everywhere in many different manners. Take husband and wife for instance. Is it really the subject matter or the underlying messages when arguing?
THE REAL MESSAGE MAY NOT COME OUT
Love me! Understand me! Take the time, which is precious, and spend it on me in this way and at this time for this reason and do it, giving me the benefit of the doubt at least for now. I will then come around for more. Step by step, we will get there and that is what is behind it all but has trouble coming out. Sometimes we have to reach in to get it out. It takes courage with legs to journey well here!
TAKING ACTION
I remember pulling a person out of what I thought was harms way and them saying to me afterward why was I so rough and considered the gesture mean and inconsiderate. What was driving the action? This person was not watching where they were going. I saw a potential threat to their harm. I had to act & did or harm would have come. 1-2 seconds is all I had to make the point and take action. I did
SOMETIMES IT GOES UNNOTICED
Couldn't even explain it after wards (wouldn't let me) but I had this as my reward. I cared. I did the right thing. I wasn't one to let it happen and then reflect with guilt over why I didn't do something especially if it was shown to me ahead of time. Love in action is not always flowers, chocolate and stuffed animals.
STRANGER TO STRANGER
Sometimes a word to a stranger does the trick. Why? They have built up a defense, an invulnerable shield against those around them to keep all of them out for one reason or another. That shield doesn't work on strangers especially the ones who tell the truth, have good motives and make it so!
WOE UNTO YOU
For those of you who are not lucky or fortunate enough to have someone intervene in your lives for your better, and if you choose the dysfunction over all else, I will tell you where this is all going but you know this already. Prepare for woe, which is something no human being should have but does
WOE UNLEASHED
Divorce, tragedy, jails, courtrooms, rehab, probation, loss of job, limbs, injury or worst of the worst (gulp) death are all waiting for you to have a chance to speak and tell you to STOP THIS BEHAVIOR OR ELSE. In the meantime, if you can take in a loving SHUT-UP or knock it off, its a good start
