Belief in a lie, the narrow vs. the wide path to life or destruction...

When the whole world believes in a lie the whole world is sent on a path of destruction as evidenced by the past years of conflict. When we don't demand accountability for the actions of others when lying and stealing is the status quo then we know that our path is far to wide and headed off in the wrong direction. One of the ways to know a person and their truth is to get to know their history, many times that history is hidden. Pride keeps others from sharing the real them with others as though there is some shame in exposing the fact that you were once abused, this leads to another cover up of the truth. What is true love and does true love exist? There certainly is a difference between being in love and being a slave for love and I have a song to sing the missing part of a duet that wasn't allowed to be an equal member of which I have paid my dues... It is time to sing... It is time to share... I'll be working today, working on a personal project... Listen to the heart beat of the life of love hindered by lies words repeated by a world gone mad... Listen to the song and read the truth to know the path eternal is a narrow path where no lie can exist. True love is sealed with a kiss...

That would be how I lived my life and how I wanted to train up my children, but the church liars got involved and now I know that I can not trust my former spouse and she has poisoned the minds of our children and they lie just like their mother lies and I can not trust them. They are part of a crew, my former spouse and my step mother along with that old family friend that would play games in the stores... I know and see things as they are and were and the picture that I see is not pretty.

I hope you heal and life gets better for you! Here is some beautiful poetry from a long time ago: Psalm 1:1-3 (New International Version) 1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. 3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

Very good words... Thank you... There are many valuable parts of scripture that can be used to lift people up and empower them to be the best that we can all be.

You are welcome! I find solace and hope in the Scriptures. They help me a lot. It's like a soothing ointment on a wound. They lessen the pain and slowly help with the healing that will eventually come. May life be good to you!

Hello GreatWhiteBuffalo, I do believe in 'true love', and know to the depths of my soul that my husband and I live it. Our relationship binds together certain characteristics of many different kinds of relationships that we Humans experience throughout the course of our lives. That's how I know it is the 'real thing'; because of its multi-dimensionality. Of course, my personal understanding of the term has everything to do with unequivocating respect; given and received mutually. As well as what I believe is a necessary parrellism of core principles and values. When that parellelism (not necessarily duplication) of core principles and values is missing, the road travelled together inevitably becomes impeded by clashes and mistrust as the one questions the values of the other, if for no reason other than a lack of familiarity and understanding. Frankly, upon reading your original post, I rather expected you to present a drawn conclusion between the 'demand' for accountability and the defining characteristics of 'true love'. To further explore our thoughts on the implications of the many failing to demand accountability from those who lie & steal: perhaps before we dive into an exploration of the implications of failing to demand accountability, perhaps it may be helpful to explore the reason(s) WHY we fail to demand accountability? Does our refusal to demand accountability reflect on our own character? Does this failure to stand firm equate to an incremental surrender of our foundational core? And, what factors have brought (or driven) us to this point where we appear to be willing to incrementally surrender 'bits & pieces' of our souls? To what benefit, or gain? And is the possible gain worth the potential long-term effects of that surrender?

That lack of understanding and being familiar comes with reading the book to have a core understanding but the problem comes to fruition when the other partner has not read the material with the same understanding. Say for one example inheritance and how to apply an inheritance to the family of the couple for the future needs of all. Instead we have the thieves taking charge lying to gain control. (I have another book all about this problem) The core of the problem is the lack of support that was given by my spouse, but she chose another path quite different than the one I expected to be on. How was I to know of the greed of my spouse to violate me as an individual? My struggle all along was with her not respecting my decisions and ability to make good choices for our future. I now see three figures pushing me down a path that I did not wish to travel and now I understand how I couldn't stop their abuse. As I said the stand can be taken when not out numbered.

Great White, You really have a way with words. With what you have experienced throughout your life and especially now, it is wonderful that you can use the pen and paper, or the computer to express yourself so eloquently. When you ask what is true love and does true love really exist? Those very questions are far more complex than most people would admit. If you only look on the surface of relationships, then yes, you could say, maybe true love does exist, but really? There are so many layers involved in this and the Surface is only the beginning. When I see a couple in their 80's holding hands and looking at each other with a sparkle in their eyes, then I say yes, there is true love. But those layers are not all smooth, some are ruffled and some are very wrinkled. But that couple took each layer and smoothed it out as best they could and continued to the next. They knew that Love of their life was worth working for. Have I lost you GWB? I hope your life is finding a Love worth working for!! leenie

Thanks Leenie, As a wordsmith I do not work hard as I've written many words and have a pretty good understanding of how to say or convey the thought that I am thinking. I have to wonder in the sixth grade if I wasn't traumatized could I have completed all the levels of that assignment? I think I could have, I liked reading and writing back then, at least until I got punched and punished for being punched for doing my class work.

Hi Gary, Do not dwell on the abuse or be a victim all your life, not matter of these hurts and lies but cleanse yourself and move foward with your head up high, walk tall towards the future and be positive in life. Tamara

The past is a part of the future and at present I do my best to keep moving forward, thanks for the thoughts, I understand where you are coming from, but I have to be a complete person and that is what I chose to be.

The narrow Gate Luke 13. 24 13."Go in through the narrow gate, because the gate to hell is wide and the road that leads to it is easy, and there are many who travel it. 14.But the gate to life is narrow and the way that leads to it is hard, and there are few people who find it.
