Episode 26

CALEB

?????????????‍♂️

Love is a decision, it is a judgment, it is a promise. If love were only a feeling, there would be no basis for the promise to love each other forever. A feeling comes and it may go. How can I judge that it will stay forever, when my act does not involve judgment and decision.You are not the victim of the world, but rather the master of your own destiny. It is your choices and decisions that determine your destiny.In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.Sometimes, making the wrong choice is better than making no choice. You have the courage to go forward, that is rare. A person who stands at the fork, unable to pick, will never get anywhere.Even a book can be dangerous in the wrong hands, and when that happens, you blame the hands, but you also read the book.

I kept on spinning around on my office chair deep in thoughts, when I looked at her body it had bruises,how did I become a monster? mama never raised me to be a monster to hit or beat a woman ,yes it hurt me that’s why I lost my mind…how can you feel when you find your woman with another man? you lose your mind .
