About This Quote

I think my Mama and Savannah must be special people in the Lord's eyes, as they have gone about doing generous and loving things without even a second thought. For me, it seems like the only thing that comes natural is aggravation and hard word. The above quote is from a child's perspective on the subject of understanding the difference between right and wrong. The subject of how we treat others can be a very sensitive one. Being raised in a household that teaches that love means always doing the right thing can seem like a very difficult situation to be in as an adult. It is more than likely that if you come from an environment where your parents taught you to treat everyone with fairness and kindness, it will be difficult for you to do things the way your parents taught you.

However, it is important to remember that there is no such thing as a perfect parent. There will always be mistakes made by your parents and they are not perfect people. Therefore, it would be wise to try to understand where your parents are coming from and how they may have learned things that may not have been right or wrong, but just different than what you learned growing up. The above quote is from a child's perspective on the subject of understanding the difference between right and wrong. It would stand to reason that we all need to make choices every day of our lives; some good, some bad, and some ugly.

However, we all make choices based on our past experiences and current situations we find ourselves in. This makes it difficult for us to make choices when faced with situations where people are not acting in ways we would judge them to follow in our minds. It may be easy for us to make decisions when faced with situations where other people are not treating us in ways we think others should treat us.

However, when we are faced with situations where other people are acting in ways that are different than what we would expect them to act out towards us, it can feel uncomfortable at best, even when the actions taken are not harmful or offensive in any way shape or form. It can also feel like there is no choice but to respond without giving much thought into what the other person is doing or saying. However, this often does more harm than good because it can lead us down paths of anger towards others which does nothing but ruin relationships which could have benefited both parties involved in the relationship had both parties acted with good faith towards one another. Our life is too short for bitterness or anger
