RAMBLINGS, TWO.

BY:TJ

YOU SEE?

YOU SEE, FRIEND, IT IS NOT WHAT

WE DO, BUT WHAT WE ARE, THAT COUNTS.

IT IS NOT EVEN WHAT WE SAY,

FOR SAYING THINGS THAT ARE NOT TRUE

COMES EASILY FOR SOME PEOPLE,

YET, IT IS STILL WHAT WE ARE THAT COUNTS.

TRUE DEPTH OF CHARACTER SHALL SHOW

SOONER OR LATER, AND WHEN IT DOES,

WHICHEVER IT IS SHALL BE REVEALED.

ARE WE SELFISH AND SHALLOW, OR

ARE WE UNSELFISH AND CARING?

YOU SEE, A GREAT MANY PEOPLE PRETEND

IN DIFFERENT AREAS OF THEIR LIVES.

THEY PRETEND TO BE KIND, BUT SOON IT

SHOWS THAT THEY ARE NOT. THEY PRETEND

TO BE CARING AND GENEROUS, BUT SOON

IT SHOWS THAT THEY HAVE AN UNCARING

AND SELFISH SPIRIT.

BUT WHICHEVER THEY ARE, CARING OR

UNCARING, KIND OR UNKIND, LOVING

OR LOVELESS, YET WE, AS KIND AND

CARING ONES, MUST CARE FOR THEM,

WE MUST LOVE THEM, AND SHOW THEM

AN EXAMPLE OF DEPTH OF CHARACTER

THAT ENFOLDS LOVING CARE WITHIN

IT'S ARMS, AND STRETCHES FORTH THESE

ARMS OF LOVE TO ALL.

FOR THEN, AND ONLY THEN, ARE WE

LOVERS OF HUMANITY. THEN, AND ONLY

THEN, ARE WE TRUE TO OUR BELIEFS.

THEN, AND ONLY THEN, ARE WE THE TRUE

AMBASSADORS THAT WE WERE MADE TO BE.

AMBASSADORS OF MERCY, LOVE,

COMPASSION AND CARING, THESE ARE

THE THINGS THAT MAKE ONE STAND OUT

IN THIS WORLD. AND WHEN ONE STANDS OUT

IN THIS WORLD, IT MAKES HIM/HER A TARGET

FOR MANY KINDS OF EVIL, YET IT IS WORTH IT

ALL TO BE ABLE TO LOVE OUR FELLOW MAN

AS WE, OURSELVES, DESIRE TO BE LOVED.
