Standing For Something
Trauma-san:
My Prophet, Gordon B. Hincley, president of the Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter Day Saints, once wrote a book called Standing for something.
We should all think about what we stand for. What message do we send people? When I hear your name, what do I think of?
I would hope, although i'm sure I fall short, that I stand for love. I'm sure to some people I don't , though. But I'm going to try and dedicate my life to oozing love as much as I can, so that when someone mentions me, this is what they think of.
Muhammad Ali stands, to me, for Courage; Intelligence, and Power. Knowledge. Great man.
Jesus Christ stands, to me, for Love, and Understanding. Greatest man, ever.
John Lennon stands, to me, for Peace, and Love. When I think of him, I immediately see a long haired hippie with a peace sign. He sacrificed his soul, his identity, for peace. What a man, and what an accomplishment he made.
Martin Luther King, stands, to me, for accomplishment, and for understanding. He understood not only what his people were struggling against, but also what needed to be done, and what the opposition lacked. A Giant man. He's drinking kool-aid with Jesus right now, no doubt.
NOw on a personal note:
Overseer stands to me, as a Fair guy. That's what I think when I think of him. He's always been fair in everything he's ever done.
Doggystylin' to me stands as a friend. He seems like the kind of guy that would be friendly to everyone... that's what he makes me think of.
My brother to me stands as strength. He's never lazy, always there to help people out... he's a pillar of strength.
This is just an example. Together, we should all analyze exactly WHAT IT IS we are standing for. What message do we send people? Do we send them the message that alcohol is the most important thing in our life? What is your message?
Peace, yall~

i stand for peace, love, and for god to see me as a good person,and trauma said i seem friendly, well yeah i am friendly cause why shouldnt i be? its all about peace and love yall, but none of that hippie sh*t, lol (again the * so it wont hurt traumas eyes) , im a muslim so yall should see me as a peace loving, God loving, friendly muslim.

Trauma-san:
I"m serious. I know this guy, Dane, and to me, he stands as a bigot. That's what I think of when I see him.
My neighbor across the street, stands to me as a drunk. That's all he ever does, and that's all I know of him.
What do you stand for?

:-[ brings tears to my eyes.. ;D
I try to be fair in everything... from a board perspective which is the only way most people here see me I try not to be overbearing like other forum admins, no power trippin etc... i'm just another guy... I want people do have a bit more room to breathe here without being stifled into a box... so what if people post as much in 'anything goes' and 'the hall' as they do in the main forum..its building relationships beyond just talkin about west coast stuff.. you dont have to come read this stuff just because its here. hope I can fill the world with some little 'seers someday... (where my deadgrrl go... ;D)
course trauma's the man for saying this esp. after history and all (anyone sense the mutual back slappin? lol).. seriously though... i'm not a great outwardly emotional person - but i'm workin on it ;)
