Choosing your battles

Just imagine.

Imagine everyone getting along for the greater good. The greater good of love and family - the greater good of happiness. That pretty much sums it up.

I understand it's not easy. It isn't easy forgiving, much less forgetting. Bad things happen. And when bad things happen we tend to lean on those we love to get us thought the rough and tough times... Right? But what happens when that person we lean on to support us and wipe our years away ends up not supporting out decisions in the end?

Heartache. That's what happens. Heartache and choosing. Choosing your battles.

Tell me this...
Why can't everyone get along? You break a heart, you explain, you forgive. You hurt someones feelings, you apologize. You do wrong, you ask for your sins to be forgiven. Right? Like I have said before, I am not a church-goer. I am not free of sin, and I do not practice my faith like a good Christian woman but God taught us to forgive and that no matter the sin, he can forgive us. All I am asking is for a little peace and forgiveness.

I believe John Lennon said it best;
"Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world..."

Choosing your battles... It never ends.
