Friends gather on the banks of the beautiful Kanawha River at Glen Ferris West Virginia. They’ve come to enjoy the warm sun and the cool waters. Playfully they leap into the air for the occasional game of tag and to float on the warm air as it rises and carries them to the tops of the trees. Their lives are completely devoid of aggression and malcontent. They soar on the slightest breeze because they have no burdens to hold them down.
It shouldn’t be a surprise that good will leads to a happier place in life. It is a promise made to us by God. We all have good days and bad days. There’s days when I can get triggered by the slightest little thing and before I can stop myself I’ve said or done something that I regret for weeks. And, you know what? It takes twice as much expression of good will to free me from that regret. I might feel like I was winning a debate or putting someone else in their place but the truth is that those actions become a burden almost immediately. So, if you want to know the real secret of joy and freedom it’s benevolence.

Males are driven to protect their own. Unfortunately this often manifests as aggression. It’s something that I still struggle with.

It depends where the aggression is directed towards. If itβs to protect your family and friends, then only if the situation calls for it. But oftentimes, men (immature and unhealthy ones) direct their aggression towards their own loved ones.

Yes. Sometimes that happens. Be patient. Most of us grow out of that. π

Ha, the tongue is one is one member that I struggled to surrender to God when I first came to him. It’s all about dying daily to oneself and asking for his strength, especially when we fail to tame our tongues :).
