I'm not karma's puppet

It's the golden rule, the one message that is taugh to us all.
We react, we respond, we treat others with our actions based on how they treat us. They push us around and we push back. They scowl at us and we reserve our kindness for someone more grateful.
You're too kind. Don't be taken advantaged by those who don't appreciate you. Be it you friends, your family, or your enemies. This life is too short to grant permission to those who are selfish and petty.
And the world is right, it's the basis of all mankind, of all our rules. Karma watches you, Santa watches you, God won't let you into heaven unless you are kind enough to repent.
So foolish must be the one who runs with kindness in their heart. Foolish is the one who gives without thought. Ignorant is the one who looks Karma in the eye and spits in its soul. To be kind to the good, to be kind to the evil. To be kind to the thoughtful, to be kind to the selfish. To shine bright for those looking for a way, to shine bright for those that enjoy the dark.
To be more than a reaction.
To be kind regardless of the actions of others.
To be kind regardless of the consequences.
To be kind regardless of the demand.
To be kind regardless of hate.
To be kind regardless of the world.
But who wants to be foolish? Would it be kind of fun to play a fool?

In braces

I've only been told, stories from others. They pass their beliefs on to be those of mine. I heard that we are miracles. I've also hear that we are the spectrum of light and energy given form. We can build, we can destroy, we can love, we can create. All the same power of the galaxies within us. We are built from the stars. We are worlds of energy bounded by our skin. Each of us walking miracles. Yet with all this energy within me, all this strength of a universe, I find myself so powerless in this moment.  This moment that a star puts its arms around me.  This embrace that has put me on my knees.  This moment that every spark of light, every atom, every breath of energy now pulses for another universe, another star that shines so bright. And as the infinite space around us travels, the divine power that made these stars collide.  Please hold me up, keep these stars bright.  Hold me as I hold you through this charismatic shower of universes.  Fo...

Further in

Protected like a fragile breath, I keep safe as not to hurt.  Then I was scratched and everyone took care of me.  They bandaged it up and cleaned it well.  It hurt... and I remembered. I healed and again protected myself, remembering only the pain.  Then I was scratched again, and no one to bandage it, no one to keep me from looking at the blood.  I remember the pain but I was used to it, I could feel it, I was drawn to it.  I wanted to see why it hurt, why it made me cry, so I stuck my finger in.  Excruciating waves quickly bloomed from my heart to my whole body and just as quick I pulled my finger out and the relief was divine. I shuttered to imagine the pain, yet I grit my teeth and stuck my finger further in. The next day I walked aimlessly with a scar on my tear.  Harden to protect me, keep the hurtful things out.  I could touch it but I felt nothing.  I knew it was for the better.  I knew that it was the way it was me...

Sold myself

People say I've changed. I've changed just because I am trying to get you to like me.  That I have given up the traits people come to recognize in me. Given up what has made me who I am today. Yet that person now has met you. That person has grown to admire you. That person thinks highly of the person you have come to represent to those around you. That people think you are an outstanding person. So if I sold myself to you, changed to be a person you would admire. Shouldn't that mean the person you would want would be good too?  Maybe a change is what we need? A change for good perhaps, a change from the stagnate, or a change from now. Or is it that I have changed from what everyone else wants? Or I have changed from what the stagnate has made me? It's difficult to see if you drive the change or if the change is driving you. I hope you just respect me, and if you don't I can change.
