Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

"Those who are free of resentful thoughts surely find peace."
"Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without."
"You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger."
"Teach this triple truth to all: A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew
humanity."
Siddharta Buddha

The words you chose to type....about "nobility", about the perception that some females have of the BagWhore....about how one could hang out at the dopeman's house without sex involved...how one might spend time elsewhere because thats just where the dope was....these were her words. Her explanations. That I made her give me probably a hundred times...and in the end, did not accept as truth.
These were her words, so exactly that it was eerie.
And when I read them immediately the weight of beleiving that she had betrayed me as utterly and horrendously as a woman could betray a man.....was lifted up off me at once....I could literally "feel" a weight lift up off of me.
I don't know what the future was going to hold in regards to the rage that was consuming me as result of believing that she had commited the betrayal that I was sure she had.....until I read your words and knew that she did not.
Its safe to say that nothing positive was going to come of this rage and resentment though so while we'll never know exactly what you're words served to "avert".....we can certainly say with confidence that it was going to be "bad".
But thats no longer a concern.
Thanks again, Randy
this will be far from the last miracle that occurs in that forum.
