I read all of the comments and can see that there is plenty of dismay throughout the world of today, just as I read that there is joy in people’s lives.  I am hopeful that you who are in need of love comfort, understanding, laughter, or just plain good old fashioned concern can see that you should never place the blame on others, for our failures in life not even our mishaps or indulges  and most assuredly not our triumphs are the fault or what some one else wants. These trials that we go through whether we incurred the situation or not are the outcome of circumstance or choice or indifference. None of us set out to be drug addicts, or users, or abusers to those we care for, or to strangers that we encounter in our life . we make a choice here and there to do what we may think is trivial and then find we have released a full load of trouble or a flood of dismay. I cannot blame anyone for where I am today. I have fed so many people that have crossed my path and to this  day in time I do not regret nor feel used nor do I feel that they took advantage of me. Even if they are not a good person at this time in their life maybe they once were, or will be.

There are many ways for us to blame someone else for what has transpired in our lives but ultimately there is the circumstance that we must endure what is upon us. and become a better person for what is to be. I have been very fortunate to have found the love of my life and there are more times that it went bad, rather than smoothly. Dare I live curled up on the bed to cry and hide from the very thing that I live for.  I am strong of mind but, I know myself that errors in judgment are just finding our way through the muck, or that on occasion I am not always right. (HA Ha Ha We all need humor).  It is with this outlook that you can realize that your losses are sometimes very much your fault. and that when your triumphs are in sight to grab and savor every instant you have them, for these  instances in anyone’s life do pass. People pass on,  lovers leave,  wars happen,  conflicts transpire.

Will you spend your life wallowing in self pity? I hope not, life is for the living and the strong. Make it your mission in life to live it, with a hunger for it, a passion for it. Remember it too will pass, try to dig way down inside and find that joy, take responsibility for yourself and never blame someone for your situation. We all know that it is hard and that sometimes is it futile. I say not, I say no. Take a look at the occurrences in Haiti the strive that those who can help are making, and most importantly look at those who this has happened to. Look with your eyes wide open, help if you can, pray if you do, but be alive feel for those who did not make it, and make the little part of the world you live in count. I believe that we are all here to help in some way or another. People are running to Haiti to help, not turning a blind eye nor are they throwing their hands up with indifference to humanity in need, not in any corner of this world should they. Are you?
