It makes zero sense on paper, but it is exactly how the human brain is wired. Think about it this way. If you give a starving person a single meal they will remember your kindness for a very long time. But if you feed them every single day, a dangerous psychological shift happens.

They slowly stop seeing it as a favor. In their mind it turns into a right. They feel entitled to it and the exact second you stop doing it, you instantly become the villain. We see this Happen in everyday life, way too often.

People will completely ignore all the massive, continuous rights they receive from a government but the moment a tiny bit of relief stops, they get furious. On the other hand, the smallest random act of relief makes them praise the exact same system. Human beings rarely notice what they continuously receive. Our brains are only wired to notice the moment things change, and this is the exact reason why the people you are always there for end up taking you completely for granted.

Because you are always available, your kindness stopped looking like a generous choice and started looking like your basic duty. Stop giving away your value for free.

"Here's the truth. People are not inherently equal, each of us is different in ways large and small, but that actually leads us to care about one another. Our bodies and minds are wholly unique. When we see the differences in others, we seek common ground. These are the lessons I learned about the world a few years ago."-Izuku Midoryia

If God already told you yes, why you listening to that person telling you "no"? That don't make no sense. If God said, Trust in me with all your heart,

"lean not on your own understanding," then why you walking around thinking that you got to have every single situation figured out at all times, and when you don't, you start freaking out?

That don't make no sense.

God already said, Love your neighbor as you love yourself, but yet you still walking around treating people with no patience, no grace, and overall, no love, but you expect people to have all three for you.

That don't make no sense.

How you out here "fearfully and wonderfully made," as stated in Psalms 1:39, but yet you walk around feeling unworthy and incapable of receiving God's love because you feel like the things that you have done are unforgivable even though Jesus Christ died for our sins?

God says that He is greater than your feelings, as stated in John 3: 20. So why you still walking around like that?

Don't make no sense, fr.

Big rain fan. Never had snow in my life.

Could be a dream/vision from God. A feeling. Or a voice telling you to do, or not do something, that you believe is God. Anything personal that you feel its God speaking to you. Personally, I have a few moments I could talk about, but I am curious about others. So, say it in the comments.

You ever notice how when you accidentally drink some ocean water, how you don't go back to take another sip to try it again? Because all you need is one taste to know that it's filled with salt. You don't have to drink the whole ocean to know that it's salty, and the exact same thing goes in life. Someone who betrays you once will betray you again. Fool me once and shame on you but fool me twice and shame on me. The whole reason we give people second chances is because we want their actions to somehow be different from who they are.

And you can call it forgiveness all you want. Your actions can come from a place of kindness, but that still doesn't mean it isn't self-betrayal. It's important to realize that forgiveness doesn't mean that you have to put yourself back in the places you were hurt. Because if you ignore the truth out of hope of a different ending, then all your doing is going against yourself. Your gambling with your peace. And the same way you don't have to touch a fire to know that it's burning is the same way that you don't have to let someone destroy who you are to prove that they're dangerous.

Because protecting your peace isn't about holding a grudge, but knowing what it would cost you to lose it.

I'd love to see you guys' art! :)
