What a beautiful letter you wrote, titled "Purpose Comes with Pain". Your writing is inspiring and I was brought to tears by your experiences and your strength. I do not have children, but I hope that others who do or have gone through a similar loss will be encouraged by your wise words and feel stronger.
I admire your strong understanding about people having a purpose. By being alive and being in this situation, even if you used to wish you weren't alive, you are making a difference to other people's lives just by existing. Anyone who you speak to or who reads your words will be a better person for it, so be proud of your individual contributions and your purpose in life.
You must be a very strong-willed, determined person, not only to get through life with the terrible pain of your loss, but also with the other challenges you face every day like with your Business Technology and Customer Service class. It's wonderful that you've persevered with it and work so hard, despite never having used a computer before - this is an incredible achievement.
I hope one day you will receive the answers you're still seeking and can find both peace and justice. Until then, know that there are people out there who care, people who read your writing even if we don't know you. We're all on this planet trying our best to get through life so we are all the same deep down.
So he's gone. Too bad. Hope all you idiots are feeling mighty proud of yourselves. Something tells me you're going to feel as empty and worthless tomorrow as you did yesterday when Frank was alive.
Because you see, there's no such thing as revenge. Revenge is merely something WE made up to make ourselvse feel better, but in truth, there is no such thing.
The way you have described your incarceration truly leads me to believe that there is a better way. A better way to handle the violence, the hatred, the lack of education. I am a restaurant manager and my day is all about systems, training, direction and motivation. Why can't an intelligent person, like yourself, design a true prison curriculum that focuses on rehabilitation, rather than simply housing masses of people. I have created numerous training programs for new restaurant concepts, and a well planned, scheduled system would make the prison environment a more productive and effective form of justice. I applaud your path, and know that not everyone looks down upon the prison population, I have hope for you, and say NICE JOB BROTHER. Bob
Thankyou PALMERMABOY. That is the truth! Francis has met his maker as of yesterday. I am glad I will never have to sit thru another parole hearing for him.
I am on the "outside" and often feel as you do about engaging another in a fight. Wondering how much abuse to take from others at work or on the street before I make it physical. Like you, I battle with pent up anger from all the times I tried to do the right thing- turning the other cheek, being meek and humble. Thing is, meek and humble look good to God but sometimes are very painful to our ego as you have stated. I know I could engage and do some damage, maybe too much. Therein lies all the possible outcomes, most of which are negative and worse than swallowing my pride and not engaging physically. I also could get hurt, arrested and possibly sued or incarcerated then how would I work and provide for my family? God's way is better, not always easy.
