I'm wondering...reflecting, these past few weeks were filled with turmoil. The book of Matthew warns us to be rid of the things that cause you to sin. Even if it's something that's inconceivable...like an arm or a leg. I used to read that and interpret the text literally. Recently I've come to realize that it's the total opposite. It's not the arm or the leg, it's those who are closest to you. Those are the only influential beings capable of making you become blinded with madness so much so that you harbor feelings and emotions so deep that they can toss you into an abyss of sin.

Some people behave violently as a result of a traumatic experience. An experience that teaches violence as a defense mechanism. People will no longer hurt you, it said ; With me, you are protected. I will protect you; No one will dare to hurt you!
