Sheep
Dom talked to me about people yesterday. He asked me, firstly, what I thought of them. I said, they are like bugs, that they spread around, multiplying and consuming resources. But… I was wrong. People aren’t insignificant insects. They aren’t lesser beings. I am one of them, and I’m not a bug. But I am a sheep. I need a shepherd, just as they do. I need direction and help, guidance and protection. I make mistakes, I am petty sometimes, or childish. But I have the capacity fo good, for doing right. I just need to the correct mindset and guidance to do so. Dom is the right person to guide me. He is so intelligent, so wise and mature. He knows what is right, and what is wrong. He’s teaching me, too. I’m not a bad person, and I am completely open to learning from Him, to becoming more mature and understanding of things.
People aren’t bad by nature… they’re just neutral, I think. They can become bad people, or they can do good things. But they’re still just humans. Our actions define us, not words or thoughts. People have the capacity to do good or bad, whatever they are led to do. I’m not OK with hurting others… not for personal gain or preference. I simply wouldn’t do so. But other people might. Sometimes, I wonder why people do wrong to others. It seems like such effort and guilt to do so. Perhaps the people who do so are just misguided. They could change, if they realized what they were doing, I think. People always can change… no one is “stuck in their way”. Humans adapt, they either alter themselves or conform to something. I choose to change myself, always for the better. I have a wondeful shepherd… and I love Him. I hope He’s having some fun on the vacation, and I look forward to talking again.
