a time to remember...

i have been thinking about a lot of things,lately,and some of the things i have written about,and i am happy about what i have written,but there are some things that i will not write about,at all... not many things,but just a few things... in my life i have met my share of really bad people... in fact,to survive through it all,i became friends with them...  however,not too many of them... i have tried to be nice to people,but again,i have been stabbed in the back by some people,who after stabbing me in the back,they badmouthed me... those were the people that i simply got even with;by getting so angry with them that i refused to talk to them,again... i told one person that if i EVER saw him,again,he was dogmeat... i said it sternly,softly,and an edge to my voice that he knew that i was deadly serious... at last report,he moved out of state to avoid yours truly... i simply learned a very long time ago not to take any crap from those people... to tell you the absolute truth,i am not a nice guy,and someone not to mess with,because i have been very hurt by people who were supposed to be friends,and i simply became harder than diamonds in my overall attitude... being "on the road" for nearly a decade turned me that way,because i simply had to survive that "personal hell",and yet sometimes i remember that time... a couple of days ago,i saw this fellow traveler "on the road",who i simply walked up to him,gave him a dollar,and started to walk away,but he started to talk about what is happening to him... i stopped,just listened to him,and talked to him in response,then told him that i would be right back,so i went to a store,bought something,and got extra change(a twenty),and simply handed him the money... on the way home,i saw him walk away,gave a simple silent prayer,and i really remember being in the same place that he was,so i helped him... i do not do it often,but i do it without comment,or having him/her know my name... that is what people should do,but unfortunately,people are stuck up on self,or have no time to be nice... to those people,i say simply:how heartless!!!!
