: Why the lies about me...why the attacks on my dead father, on my children...on my knowledge or accuracy or artistry...why. Why do we pat every Assyrian snot nosed kid on the back and say he or she did just fine when in reality their artwork stinks...and why take off after the kid who actually shows promise....why was it more important to NOT back me...
------------------
there are people in this world who will want to take away whatever it is that makes you happy... & sometimes they have/give no reason for this.
also: God wants us to be meek & mild in relation to each other - to respect whatever it is that each one of us brings into this world (because it is His, ultimately). but not falsely modest... no, that is unGodly, & it denies the gifts God gives us. it is a lie when anyone strips himself of human pride - that sort of pride is natural, & it's God given for a reason. God gives us talent, & he expects us to use it in His name for each other.
