THOUGHTS I: THE CREED

THE CREED

NEVER LETTING GO -

__________________________________

I guess in the end, one thing is true.

If someone really loves you, they will NEVER EVER let you go.  They will fight to keep you...and if a friend is real, they will do the same. They will tell you the truth, even if it is not what you want to hear but they know and so do you down deep it is what you NEED to hear.

To me, friendship and love are vitally important. People are too. 

THEY HAVE VALUE. 

But I see the way a lot of people on these social media sites are SO dismissive of others. Astoundingly so. They blow off, unfriend, and do all kinds of crap...usually with NO warning NOR any explanation. Just POOF, and then you sit there and have NO clue why they did that.
             

 Or maybe like my husband, they make up excuses...but they are ALWAYS about THEIR needs and wants and never others. That is neither kewl or nor is it ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY RESEMBLING love OR friendship.

I have a ton of 'friends' on Facebook, more on Twitter, and more on other sites but how many of these thousands of people really are friends or even casual acquaintenances? Half the time they won't and make NO attempt to talk to me or even to each other. It is almost laughable, but in truth what it IS is pathetic...and oh how EASILY some of these dudes are JEST OH SO OFFENDED. Bullshit. 

That crap is VANITY, 
nothing more nor less.

I get offended too sometimes, but VERY RARELY do I let it show. Different people, cultures, personalities. You need to be tolerant and understanding. For if you don't, you WILL wind up alone..or with a bunch of FINO. Friends In Name Only and what good is that?

If you settle for phantom friends, that is what you will have. PHANTOM friends.

ZILCH. AIR, EMPTYNESS, Sadness, endless sadness, and wondering where all the FUN friends went to after you weren't fun anymore. After your looks are gone. After the money is gone. LIKE your looks and money and your youthful happy-go-lucky spirit...and probably LONG before you get old but DID grow up and decided to adopt a sense of responsibility? THEY will be GONE too.

YUP. GONE!
Gone and YOU have to be the one who discerns who will be a keeper and who won't, cause THEY sure as hell won't. They will hang on to you as long as they don't have to DO anything.

TRUST ME! The world is full of takers along with the good kind. Keep the latter and ditch the former. FAST AS YOU CAN.

Pfui.

THINK!

If you want friends, YOU GOTTA BE ONE.

You will NEVER KNOW TRUE LOVE, UNTIL...

You have truly loved someone else without conditions or qualifications. The Bible teaches about Agape Love. Love without borders, or stipulations. It is the love JESUS CHRIST LIVED. HE said we are to do the same. But it does not really matter whether or not you are a Christian. All religions teach the basics of how we are to treat each other...without fear, hate, prejudice, bigotry,  arrogance or evil intent. LIFE WITHOUT SELFISHNESS. Now some like something called Sharia Law. That is NOT of any true God. That is a creation of MAN, and it is a false interpretation of God and what he said. Most religions have something similar including Christianity. ALL faith is love-based, and as Jesus said, 'Love one another as I have loved you.'

Can YOU REALLY SAY YOU ARE SELFLESS? Can I? 

Do you have a mate? Do you by choice put him first or at least treat him as your equal?

ARE YOU WITHOUT SELFISHNESS?
IS LOVING HIM UPPERMOST?
DO YOU?

UNTIL YOU CAN GET A DIVORCE FROM YOUR OWN EGO, YOU CANNOT TRULY LOVE, for love removes the need to put yourself first and instead put someone else first and you cannot if your ego keeps getting in the way.

SELFLESSNESS=Self LESS ness

That is when you actually begin to understand what it means to love and then you can also begin to accept love as well for then you can begin to trust your own feelings.

An awful lot of life and love is about love, caring, GIVING. TRY IT.

If you give to someone, expect it to be returned someway somehow. May not be exact, may not be INSTANTLY, but it WILL be IF they are truly a friend. 

If not, try again. IF NOT? Mosey on.

LOVE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EMOTION, AND IT IS GOD-GIVEN...whether you are straight, gay, bi, or whatever. GOD CREATED LOVE. ALL LOVE. PERIOD.

LOVE IS OF GOD. ALL LOVE IS OF GOD....
and so are you. No matter which you perceive to be YOUR GOD, God teaches love as being from him and you in HIS image and likeness. 

LOVE IS FUNDAMENTAL TO LIFE.

LOVE IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE AT THE CORE OF EVERYTHING WE DO BECAUSE...

IT IS AT THE CORE OF EVERYTHING WE ARE.  We cannot HAVE love until we recognize WE ARE love.

You were born in love.

Don't let it sit idle.

Don't let it slip away.

Don't let it DIE...for you have ONE chance to get it right, and the BEST is YOURS IF you grab on and help yourself. But to BE a blessing to others IS to receive blessings for yourself as well.

Kind of a human boomerang. LOL.
