When your life is hard as a kid,
you have to blame someone.

When that someone isn't there to blame,
your blame turns to hate.

As time passes, hate turns to rage.

Then one day you realize you've grown up,
and you find that someone again.

You remember the rage you had for that someone
and you just want to unload.

Then you remember why your life was hard,
and you start to think.

The reason you felt rage was because you
couldn't find that someone to begin with.

Do you unload your rage and take the chance
of losing that someone once again.
The answer is NO, you forgive.

Only then can you finally realize
what it is to have a father's love!

Welcome to Passions! Some people never learn to unfold long enough to shake off the rage. You've done well here, with your thoughts. Something tells me you're going to be a fine man/father/grandfather.

Please, check your E-mail for a Special Greeting!

Rage can really be a crippler. It's good to let it go, and finding forgiveness to take it's place is the most healing thing you could do for yourself. Not the easiest thing to do, but probably the best. If this is a mini self-portrait, congratulations.

And WELCOME to Passions!

To be able to forgive is one of the best human qualities, and the hardest to do. I commend you! Welcome to passions!
