This was one of the worst weeks America has ever endured. so many tragedies exploding one behind the other. This week I cried, smiled, laughed, and was afraid. It seems you can be careful... responsible even, and try to stay aware, but you could never be prepared when hatred happens, or a careless mistakes occurs. What drives a person to be angry towards people they don't know? Why are we constantly judged as a whole, depending on race or religion. I now understand the importance of controlling my anger, for it only becomes evil. Have we all seen evil before? If not... we seen it this week. Do you ever want to be hated as the marathon bombers?
A friend of mine this week told me in a malicious way that women of my race hair don't grow, and with the intention to be mean she made the point of saying her race hair is better. A year ago I would of cursed her out and I would of wanted to fight and punish her with words severely. Surprised at myself... I paused for a moment... and remembered the bible verse ♡refrain from anger for it only leads to evil♡Psalms 37. I told her she was out of line and that I hope she has a great day, and I have distance myself from her. Its not the first time she has made a comment that was meant to be malicious towards me... i realize its evil, something I never want to be labeled as. I never want to find myself on TV running from the police, because of where I let my anger grow too.
