Re: Vindication
This conversation makes me think of a song I heard yesterday, it kinda goes like this:
(Almost in a fulfilled yet pleading voice of desperation)
(Oh and what they sing is a lil diff from the actual lyrics)
"Open your eyes.. Open your eyes.. Open your eyes..
And see that life is beautiful..
Open your eyes!! Open your eyes!! Open your eyes!!"
Actual Lyrics:
"Open Your Eyes"
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
My bones ache, my skin feels cold
And I'm getting so tired and so old
The anger swells in my guts
And I won't feel these slices and cuts
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x4]
Get up, get out, get away from these liars
'Cause they don't get your soul or your fire
Take my hand, knot your fingers through mine
And we'll walk from this dark room for the last time
Every minute from this minute now
We can do what we like anywhere
I want so much to open your eyes
'Cause I need you to look into mine
Tell me that you'll open your eyes [x8]
All this feels strange and untrue
And I won't waste a minute without you
So I got to thinking about it and quickly it dawned on me that only God can open their eyes. So my conclusion on the matter was to add tears to my prayers.
Anyways yeah I had some people apologize to me that were wrong and it made me feel a little better but it was a half hearted apology and I don't believe they've seen the whole picture yet. God is still working on them I suppose.
I've also had this dream where somebody finally realized what they were doing and were extremely apologetic, to the point that they started to get down on themselves and I just kept trying to reassure that person that it was ok, that I had forgiven them a long long time ago, and that they just didn't know how bad they were hurting at the time. Many people that hurt others do it without knowing and often times it's because they themselves are hurting but, are either in denial, or they think it's "Behind" them. But it still manifests regardless. It's hard to be patient with people that are attacking you but when you realize they oppose themselves and it's not about you, it gets easier. Time is the best healer imo...
