Chasing away the darkness.

There may come a day when you wake up and actually feel sorry for all the things you have done in the past. The people you’ve hurt. The problems you’ve created. The pain you’ve inflicted. When that time comes keep your head up above the waves of tears that will come rolling in and keep yourself from drowning. Don’t turn to drugs. Don’t turn to being oppressive. Don’t get cocky and pretend you don’t need anything from anyone. Realize what you’ve done and ask for forgiveness. If it isn’t true it won’t matter and it will not help you one bit.

I feel it’s true when they say that you will get what you deserve and what goes around comes around. I would have to say I am a firm believer in the instant-karma mentality. If I do something stupid I expect to get paid back in some sort of shape or form. If you do bad things to your family, your friends, or even complete strangers, expect all that to come back to you. It might not be now, it might not be ten years from now, but it is coming and you have the luxury of living with the fear that it will come back to bite you. Life isn’t about what you can get out of other people. It’s about what you can get out of yourself. Do you want to be remembered as a scumbag or would you rather be remembered as someone who would do anything for anyone. Someone who others could always turn to in their darkest hour and there you would be shining like a beacon of light to chase away the darkness. There are no answers in the darkness. Sometimes you don’t need to look far to find a knight in shining armor, just beware of the ones wrapped in aluminum foil.
