The Act of Forgiveness

The act of forgiveness is key

Yet the act is a struggle for me

I am very kind and caring

Although reality is overbearing

Trusting people to do the right thing

Is asking so much of our society

If I give you a dollar will you give it back?

If I fall off will you help me return to the track?

When I am down will you kick me?

Or will you help me?

Will you laugh with others

Will you be an enemy or a brother?

The questions are plenty deep in the mind

If trust should increase over time...

The act of forgiveness is key

But trust must be offered from me

Am I willing to lend you a hand?

Are you responsible to hold such a demand?

We will find out as time goes on

Whether forgiveness is the break of a new dawn. 

LOVE and COMPANIONSHIP

 Love and companionship are two of the most important social/emotional components of human beings. All throughout life people say: Get a good education, get a nice paying job, hang around the right set of friends, and then look into creating a family of their own. Well how else would a person accomplish goals and expectations such as those without being interactive with people (companionship) and trying to create relationships along the way (love) so that a person can be well rounded? It does not happen. That is why when kids are in school its important for them to grasp the concept of dealing with other people outside of their family. If someone only knows how to deal with a select number or group of people, how are they going to fend for themselves out in the world against other people that they are NOT familiar with? This similar problem came about in the novel Frankenstein, because the creature was ill-equipped in dealing with human beings. He was not even quite sure how to deal with his own emotions or even his creator, Victor. 

In life, understanding and being familiar with love and companionship gets a person further in life. If someone does not understand the true meaning of friendship (companionship) then they will hardly come across good people and be able to call themselves a good friend. Same thing with love, if a person has never experience love then they will not be very forthcoming to show the same affection if a person does happen to show it to them. They will be lost and confused and may even lash out in a negative or hurtful manner because of their ignorance. These two essential lessons, love and companionship, can either be good or bad for a person to experience; but if the person is unable to display these then whose to say they know how much they are missing of the human experience.

Rejection

Nobody likes rejection but it happens. Rejection can happen anywhere like in school, at work, or at home.

At School
Ashley: Hey guys how was your weekend?
Sarah: Awesome! Guess who went to Cedar Point?! This girl!
Ashley: Uh oh! Haha! Renee, how was your weekend girl?
Renee:*rolls eyes and walks away*
Ashley: Something I said?
Sarah: Who knows.

At Work
Bob: Hey Steve, how was your vacation?
Steve: Good, Bob and you?
Bob: It was very nice. The Bahamas is beautiful!
Steve: It really is.
*Jeremy walks by*
Bob: Hey Jeremy did you finish that report?
*Jeremy continues with no response*

At home
Mom: Keisha, get down here and do these dishes!
Keisha: Alright!
Mom: NOW!!
*Keisha does the dishes*
Keisha: I finished Mom!
*Keisha is ignored*

Rejection comes in all forms in all places. It leaves an awkward atmosphere when displayed and no one likes it. It can rude and unnecessary. Rejection
