“THE UNFORGIVEN


Tell me if you've ever had to deal with these kinds of people:

The kind who take and don't give.
The kind to whom you give and give,
And they keep asking.
The kind to whom you give and give and they say you gave nothing.
The kind whom have never offered anything,
But act like they're the ones providing
EVERYTHING.

The kind you give and give,
But take more than you can give.
And when they have already taken everything,
They get mad at you when you say you have
Nothing more to give.

The unforgiving,
The misgiving,
Wastefully living -
And selfishly driven.
The rat that never gives back,
Yet is so quick to attack -
Because they think the word
TAKING
Seriously means
GIVING.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

Mark Lawrence, Prince of Fools

"But I am.”

At Kate's feet, Drina. Her scarf and shirt were torn open.”
Erin Bow, Plain Kate

“I was called an 'ethnic traitor' and kicked in the pit of the stomach, then called a 'sellout' and stuck across the face again. I really couldn't understand what the last one meant. I knew the literal meaning of the word, of course, but I just couldn't bring myself to think that I was a sellout. I could sense the incongruity of the label but didn't have words to express it. Then someone who was able to say exactly what I was feeling appeared, like a superhero.

"We've never belonged to a country we could sell out”

What you really wanted was to slice me into countless pieces.”
Rasmenia Massoud, Human Detritus

Neil T. Anderson
“Jesus didn’t spare the disciples’ feelings when He pointed out
their deficiencies. Most believers today will pray for the sick, then
conclude, “If it be God’s will.” It doesn’t take much faith to pray that
way because it puts the onus on God. It takes a different level of
faith to confront a demon and be confident about the outcome.”
