Paying the Price

"People pay for what they do, and still more for what they have allowed themselves to become. And they pay for it very simply; by the lives they lead." - James Baldwin

I love that line. Nothing in life is free of charge. Spew negativity and it costs you. Maybe it's the same as you get back what you put out, but I think this line speaks to something else in me. Something more personal. Seeing some of the abuses around me I'm reminded everyday what it costs the abuser. Sometimes a person doesn't realize what they have allowed themselves to become because they are in constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. Denial is the inability to be honest with youself. The longer a person spins, the higher the price. It just stands to reason. And finally, let's finish the post on this note.....

Consequences and personal responsibility aren't something that enough people have on their agendas. But ultimately, karma wins out.

John! Wow are you ever right about that. I have seen it time and time again and the longer you live, the more you see that play out.
