Something is hurt or broken inside of a person and that lack of healing creates a "lense" through which everything is seen. Truly, from that perspective it seems like everyone and everything is against them.<BR/><BR/>This is reason #2,759 as to why I am a follower of Christ. I don't possess the personal power to break out of my destructive life cycles for a lifetime without the saving work of Christ.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments.Scott Brewerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18090809236682750662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30534753.post-53709695262101673362007-12-06T16:21:00.000-08:002007-12-06T16:21:00.000-08:00Wow, that honestly makes me very sad to hear that ...Wow, that honestly makes me very sad to hear that the parents were so pathetic they couldn't make the effort to provide a little joy to their children. So, not only do they make a poor environment for their kids through their day to day choices, when something is set of for them like this, the parents sabotage that as well.<BR/><BR/>My dad's side of the family is a lot like this...things "happen" to them and they have a million reasons why the world is out to get them. I try to have very little to do with them, as they have become bitter and jealous. It's always funny to hear the talk that gets back to me though, as the harder I (or my dad) work, the "luckier" we are. What they don't realize is that luck has nothing to do with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
