Learn to look at yourself and say, "I have messed up"

I believe that there would be peace on earth if everyone would learn to stand at the mirror and point a finger to the first person they see. I believe that in my onw life not a single person deserves a credit for every failure I have gone through except myself.

The blame game has been around for many millenia, and it has never helped anyone. When Adam and Eve recognised that they were naked after part-taking of the forbidden fruit, they hid themselves in the bushes and tried all they can to cover their shame. God came to visit as usual only to find that His creatures have been hidding. When the truth finally came out, Adam blamed Eve, and Eve blamed the serpent and the serpent had no leg to stand on. At the end no one was justified by blaming others, everyone received the fair share of the punishment irrespective of who started it, because all them had sinned.

If you want for real to know who is responsible for everything bad that happens to you, look no further than yourself. It may not be your fault that someone robbed you, raped you or abused you in anyway but the way you will react to those situations will determine the course of you life from that point. Your reaction will either get you more and deeper into trouble or it will allow you to grow and become even more strong, helping you to learn from all the mistakes that others have done.

It is not our place to punish those who treat us bad. There are poeple in place for that. We need to allow those people to do their jobs and we need to move forward with our lives and start making our lives worth a while. Forgiving those who have wronged you is the best gift you can give to yourself. When you forgive others you set them free and in the process you set yourself free and fill your life with peace and joy that surpasses all understanding.

Learn to look at the yourself and say. "I have messed up", by so doing you will have peace with your neighbors.
