I was told today - "Don't let anybody steal your joy". I hear that a lot. My thought is that no one stole my joy. I gave it. Freely. I advocate freedom. I practice my freedoms on a daily basis. I believe that lack of freedom (of all sorts) is at the core of so much dissatisfaction in the world.
The trouble with giving your joy away is that some people are so thoroughly unworthy of receiving it. Women often give joy to others outside themselves in sums that exceed what they have stored up, so that they are inevitably depleted.
I tell myself at times like these - when I'm feeling all tetchy (yeah, I said tetchy) - that I should stop giving my joy, my love, my laughter, my self away. I tell myself that it's not worth it. I try to stop. But truth is, I'm helpless.
Not being free to give of myself without being guarded and full of fear would really suck. So, I thank God that I can't stop.
Stealing is not necessary. I give freely ... but I do need to start to pray that the Lord will protect me from predators.
Be Free!
Bisous
