Oh yeah....

just finishin the peaches... not so good, at least the couple i sliced up this AM - no bad but ain't the sweetest couple i coulda picked... dissapointing.

Here's the 'oh yeah'

The Amish community. Word up to those people. To actually follow in the path, the footsteps of Jesus Christ (real or not it don't matter) to actually FORGIVE, not just in word, but in actions in their life.

That's some seriously admirable stuff. Why can't we forgive? Forgive doesn't mean to forget. Forgive means alot.

Forgiveness is what is missing in this country.

If you harbor a grudge against the Towelheads, you have not forgiven. And cannot be a true christian. no? What is the path and the "teachings" of jesus based on? "Dude i'm gonna go blow the shit outa those muslims that took out the WTC" no... that ain't forgiveness.

Harboring hate, and resentment against people just don't work.

Drop the whole religion thing out of it. Drop that controversial walk on water miracle dude with that book called the bible. The book that contains only the writings from the time that supported the cathaholic's POV back in the day. It ain't about translating the current bible... its about going back and figuring out what the hell those control minded freaks in "Rome" were thinking when they left out the rest of the 'books' that the committee 'reviewed'...

Anyway... drop the religion thing out and think of it like the spiral of violence.

Ya can't bust out of there by holding on to the anger caused by others actions/inactions/intent. Those assmonkey selfish freaks on the bike path deserve my forgiveness. Why? because if i harbor that anger without truely forgiving them for being stupid idiots, i will eventually pin the stupid idiot on everyone out there, and my anger will increase and my temper will flair and i'll generally become the monster i try hard not to be. If i can take the Amish lesson to heart. And actually forgive. I can be at peace with it.

I'm not saying forget. I'm saying forgive.

Small stuff. The small stuff is most often the most important. Love is easy compared to Forgiveness.

And esp in the most tragic of all circumstances, loosing your daughter to a violent man with a gun. Forgiveness becomes critically important. I don't know if i am strong enough for that ultimate level. I hope i never have to be.

I dunno if any of that made any sense, these peaches musta started fermenting or something...

peace out, forgive... forgive...
