Some people make it easy for others, some make it hard for others. We shouldn’t go all the way one way or the other.
Looking back at when I 1st got sober, there were many wonderful things going on at that time in this country and in the world. Lot of great James bond movies. Or maybe not so great lol. Great music-Bryan Adams “Everything I Do”. “Robin Hood -Prince of Thieves”. At this point in my life, in my sobriety I like to think about what I would have done differently. If I could have left everything from the past behind and lived in the moment and enjoyed the beauty around me, not gravitate to [dwell on] the things in the now that reminded me of the things in my past. People are the same more or less past, present, future… What a wonderful life I could have had all of my sobriety -instead of only now! If you carry around now what was wrong with your life in the past, it will continue to be bad.
Things we likely tend to treat us such. Things we don’t like we tend to treat us such. For the aspiring Christian, when it comes to following following GOD’S commandments, our attitude’s, our very feelings towards our fellow human-beings play a crucial role. If you don’t like people, If you did at some point but no longer do due to some very negative experiences… This will likely impeach your ability to love, to act lovingly. 🤷♂️ Welcome to my world 🌎 If you didn’t like one or both of your parents… I think this has a huge impact on our attitude in and towards the world 🌎 Presume more than a few books have been written about the fall out from negative experiences, feelings towards one’s parents.
