Quotes
Fallen Hero
Our hero begins as pure raw talent, voted the most likely to succeed. He has obvious and great potential--meant to rule, to lead. He moves up to the plate�but is too weak due to his sins, which bring vacillation of mind and talent. First he�s conducting the spirit; next he�s refracting it into sensual pastimes that warp, dull and degrade. Having refused to stand up and stay strong, to do his duty, he falls at the hands of an angry, jealous mob who tries to kill him. Because of his strong spirit, there is no in-between�either he leads and gains their respect, or he loses and brings their impulses to slay, for jealousy inevitably explodes against the great-going-down: � who did he think he was, trying to rule us?
Once he begins to slide down, the down-spiral takes off and nothing can change its route. The consequences of sin are inherent in the sin itself�sin contains its own punishment. He�s getting weaker and is shocked at his sudden decline. Then the others chime in to seal his demise. Such is the scapegoat system which surrounds alcoholism anorexia and all other disorders: It�s very hard to get up once you�ve been down. Only true champions, the overcomers, can pull themselves back up through the only answer: REPENTANCE. Then, they must stand up and resist the undertow to fall back to the status quo. Repent, then act like nothing happened, for it didn�t�sins erased, no longer habit-encased. It was only the ongoing habit that made it real. When it is truly over, it never was! The fallen hero stays down only from cycles of sin, and human systems.
Don't sweat the petty things;
and don't pet the sweaty things.
A friend is someone who likes you even though you smell like poop
When someone says the last thing they want to do is hurt you, it just means they have other things to do first.
