"Tree of life", Tsavo national park, Kenya. This acacia, that stands alone, is a symbol of life in the vast expanses of thorny savanna, where wild animals come to take advantage of its leaves or its shade.
Any ONE thing can make a difference!
I admit, I am simply tired of this mean ugly world and all its demands but some of the demands I simply cannot forsake. I direct my thoughts to The FAMILY UNIT, its structure and the importance of the individual roles we each have and how no one part is exempt in the influence of its outcome as whole.
...Is there anything to be said of the men out there who love their families and take joy in them more than their own selfish vain pride, scape goat excuses and pleas of their unknowing will.
A "father" not doing those things that fulfill the role of "Father", actually makes his choice, by not choosing. So letting his agency effect those he is supposed to love the most, in a hurtful way, let's even go as far as saying potentially hurting them in the most damaging of ways.
As it has always been, never in all the spans of existence, can or will any amount of money, bring with it compensation, for the heartache and disappointment shared by a family when a father cannot be who he committed to be, when promises were made and lives created but heart and back be turned.
Should support of such behavior not be questioned when really: Every family members hopes, dreams, expectations and ideals, rights and privileges piled onto one plate; times each member of that household. The equation great and the value in its outcome greater: All it's sadness, hurt feelings & disappointments OR the potentiality of joy, confidence and accomplishment. How can one persons selfishness & self indulgence out weigh what could be attained when such daily sacrifices are forged, with pure love and devotion. How is there no reward? How do we as a society justify these behaviors: adultery, emotional affairs, cyber sex, selfishness and irresponsibility and more.
What is the REAL difference that one person could make: in a positive way or negative way, through ones selfishness or sense of duty, integrity and honor? How does it affect our lives, their lives, the lives our children, how they learn to manage relationships, business dealings, their marriages, become mothers and fathers and the whole of their future family, the following generations and overall stability of our communities, even the little bit of culture forged in America by sacrifice? -do such really become happier, better, contributing people in the long run; bailing out in such a way. The greatest question presented:
Can such a grievance ever be compensated?
I had a friend once who I believe lost a piece of his soul, forever affected by his divorce, as he is so not the person I used to know. I will never forget the sound of his voice and feeling of conviction when he said, he had done all he could do and it was never good enough but he would've kept trying if he had been given that chance. He said, "Despite it all, I would've jumped through hoop's on fire for my wife, my family and my kids". But anothers agency changed the course of it all, as well as the course that his childrens lives would forever go.
What a burden for ones soul to bear?
We must be a committed people to our virtues, commitments and obligations. Why would we want to expect anything less of ourselves as we only have one chance and one life to stamp the impressions and influence we will contribute to this world, and the generations to follow. Someday, someone will say of you, ...that is what he or she did and this is why __________? and how their life will be explained.
Stop, think and feel, then ask yourself this question. What will be said of you?
Ask Yourself: What is the REAL difference that ONE person can make?
