Why Are People In Life Always So Selfish...

Rant

Why are people in life always so selfish? i guess it's hard to care about others if you don't care about yourself. Why is it that people are willing to help a stray dog and give it a bowl of food before they tell a homeless person good morning and give him a dollar? Maybe because people can't understand that people need people just as much as a dog needs people. Why the heck do we have social status? Am i any less of a man because i catch a bus and you drive a Rolls Royce. Of course not! But a lot of people refuse to slow down enough to see that we're all created equal. Yeah i used to be a bully, i'm not proud of it. i used to bully the people i thought were different. in some evil way it made me feel better about myself. But those beautiful people i picked on deserved to know they are special too. i stopped being a bully a long time ago. And it makes me sad when i see it happen to someone else. i just wanted to say that because i understand how someone might see me as a monster. But I'm just like the next person. Only the choices i made are different. And you know something I'm honestly sorry what i've done and for the people i've hurt. i wish i could of been a better person back then like i'm trying to be today. if you stole a car and i stole a candy bar it doesn't make any difference. We're both guilty of stealing. i wish i could give the whole world a hug but since i can't why don't you do it for me. Go hug someone. Look at life from every perspective. Realize that we're all equal. i love every one of yall thanks for reading.

As I read this post I sit and wonder. Does everyone deserve forgiveness? I believe they do. I believe you should be forgiven. In fact I forgive you. I need forgiveness also. I have done some things in my life that I am not proud of. I wasn't a good parent and drugs ruled my life. I have done some bad things because of the drugs. I have always had a good heart though. I have always loved my children, but I am hated by people because of the choices I made. Just like you said If I steal a car and you steal a candy bar are we any different? I think not. We are all looking for someone to love us, someone who cares and wont hurt us. We are looking for someone who wont abandon us. When someone hurts us we tend to hold a grudge. We tend to blame that person for the life choices that follow. The choices we have made. Even if they weren't there to influence us one way or another. Blaming someone else is so much easier than blaming ourselves. I would love to be able to blame my Mom and Dad for the bad things I have done, but I am an adult and I made those choices. If I spent my whole life hating them for what they did or didn't do then I would miss out on a lot of love. I know they love me even though one of them wasn't there. Of course I love one more than the other. The one that didn't bail, the one that wasn't scared and didn't leave, but I still love the other. I know he or she loves me too!!! The point of this post is I forgive you for your wrong doing... Will you forgive me?
