How to save a life...

What if it's your life and you are trying to save it? What if you scream for air, stuck near the surface of a lake. Trapped. At first you say its the other people. The ones that are dead weight and dragging you back into the lake bottom mire. "They did this to me. They are what is stopping me. I hate them. I HATE THEM! I HATE THEM!!!" You scream as you float. You thrash your fists, waste your oxygen on trying to be nice. Try bribing them to convince them to let you go. But they don't! They keep demanding. Keep manipulating. Keep right on not caring.

At this moment in your life you have to make a decision. You have to decide if your life is worth saving. If the things that the other people are juxtaposing on you are true. If their hate and accusations are worth a chapter in your life. If this story is about them or you. These people don't care if you tell them you are drowning. They can't. They are inhuman. Incapable of using their brain and the good sense that the Almighty God gave them. So there you are, under water, stuck. Because of their actions.

What can you do? How can you fix this? It's easy.

STOP FLOATING AND FIGHT.

Fight their chains of bitterness, Kick off the binds of requirements. Refuse to accept the gag of civility. FIGHT IT ALL. You've never fought before? You might look like an idiot if you fight?!? But wont you look like an equally stupid idiot if you drown under all their demands? Better an idiot with a life than a dead idiot.

And let me tell you something. When you break the surface, when you finally have told the whole world that you are not a push over, that breath you take, when you can finally stop fighting, when you can just be thankful to be alive. THAT MOMENT IS WORTH IT ALL.

Don't get sucked under again either. Do your part to guard against these people. Don't loose a good friend because of bitterness. Do your part.
