RE: ADSactly Life - The Greatest Lesson in Brotherhood

in #life6 years ago

Oh man. That'll leave a mark. What a compelling story. Thank you for sharing it us, that is amazing all by itself.

It's been a long strange journey for me. Nothing fast, ever. It wasn't that I didn't search, I was just too ignorant to see the answers when they were always right in front of me.

I sobered up 28 years ago. It took a pretty fair fraction of those 28 years to understand that anger is a primary emotion, but I have control over my reaction to that anger.

The really good news? I've lived long enough to be able to tell most of those brothers that I loved them then and love them still. It's a huge peace in my life.

I have found that it's not the things I don't know that bite me on the ass. It's the things I know that are wrong.

Thanks, again, for sharing this. It's just compelling testimony to the basic human spirit that lives in us all. That is important.

That's really awesome to hear you've found peace in your life through those closest to you. I suppose it's another part of the journey in helping the younger generation find theirs too. I spent years also stilling and controlling my anger and frustrations. Glad we're both still here to type to each other about it :) Hope you have a remarkable weekend Tom.
