Not All Are Bad
~ By Sue ~

When a child grows up listening
To her mother constantly complaining
About everything underneath the sun
The child starts wondering
Is there anything at all in the world
That could possibly be right
And when she does nothing
But say bad things about the men
This too she starts to wondering
Could this all be true
It is not until she grows up
And finally starts to find out
About all of these things herself
That most of what she was taught
To most of it there was no truth
There is some good in everyone
No matter who they are
Or where they come from
And not everyone in the world
Are all so bad
Just because a person may be rich
Does not mean they are better
Than one who may be poor
You can not compare all people
Men or women
By the actions of another
Even though they may come
From the very same family

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Sue, this is so very true, sweet friend, my mom is a very political person, and even talks a lot of stereotypes, and sometimes it can be so hard to listen so I can't help but be a very opionated person and I respect what she says yet I don't believe in stereotypes, like what is the "man" thing and what is the "woman" thing, and just believe to do however you feel as long as it is just! (sigh) This is well-said, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Sue, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sue, this is the absolute truth. My mother is a *itch and thankfully, I'm not anything like her.

You are a sweet and loving person, trapped in a situation that is not your fault. But, I just know you can and will get out of it.

Hugs and loves, Marti
