Love is a Parable: INDEBTEDNESS
We have to protect the gift that was given to us; even if, the pain associated with it comes without remorse. More and more, I understand the power of forgiveness. See, the forgiving is not for the offender; it is for the offended! ...Failure to release negativity becomes one's imprisonment. As a gift-protector, daily, we are reminded to focus on something other than ourselves; which leads to a selfless disposition. I have concluded that it is impossible to be selfless for a long period of time without being truthful.
Truthfulness is a barometer that measures two forms of pressure; either you are FULL of it or NOT. Truth is the only gift that is given to everyone. However, many have torn away at its purity, raping it of its worth, while others have chosen to exploit its value for selfish gain. Truth is becoming such a rarity, to many, it is unrecognizable. Because of "truth deficiency", emotional activism is on a rise and many have bartered their consciousness for a stupor affiliation.
Then, there are the gift-protectors, living isolated lives, making every attempt to... "just to fit in". With every attempt, it is obvious that you are different. You are aware of your surroundings and assess word choices and/or exchanges. You constantly think of bettering yourself to be of service to others. You understand the value of truth, even when others refuse to accept it. You are a person of probity; which is a fruit of a vine that is pruned routinely, rooted in the virtue, and clothed with trust. Because we are chosen, we are needed; to this, understanding is not required, just be in deference to the process. Always remember, the GIVER esteems the GIFTED with a GIFT, a value inconceivable to which I am indebted.
