Poison Snakes
If a poison snake bites you, you're poison too.
That is actually one of my favorite sayings in the world.
I kind of use it to comfort people who have been beaten to shit by life, or by folks that they once trusted.
I try and explain that they need to get rid of the poison and not let it fester or their life will be poison as well.
Getting rid of the poison is much easier than it sounds.
There are so many people who let it take control of their bodies. They allow it to bring them to their knees. In some cases, the poison kills them.
As a matter of fact, that's the problem with life. It'll grind you.
Every single day it'll grind you down.
I've known men who've loved women with all of their hearts only to find out that it was a brilliant disguise.
Then the poison takes over.
I've known women who believed what they wanted to believe about a guy and when they finally found out that none of it was true...
...poison.
And it goes so much further than just the man and woman deal.
You can certainly get bit by a poison employer, or a lethally poison friend. You can get bit by a family member or a casual acquaintance.
The snake that slithers by you is hidden in the grass of life.
There is so much poison everywhere.
Yet it really is easy to believe that you're surrounded by snakes when not every single person has the poison. I still believe that the world is made up of mostly good people.
But there are snakes. There certainly are.
How many bites can you handle?
My boys are just starting out. They certainly have their own ideas about things, but there are times when I try really hard to let them know that sometimes there are snakes in the midst.
And that they will get bit.
I just hope that they are strong enough to find the antidote somewhere inside their own heart.
Get rid of the poison.
When that snake bit you it did it with the intention of hurting you.
Don't give it the satisfaction.
