Life Storms: (Unedited): 11 June 2010:

Even during the rain storms of life. Something good and positive can be found if searched.

==================
If you are reading this and your life has been hell. Then know right this very moment. Your a survivor. Your a conqueror. Your victorious. Yes, You do not feel like one. Neither did I. But, never the less you are. Yes, the abuses and tortures you have endured were evil, bad and terrible. Yet, here you are reading this goofy quote.  Of all of the hell you have had to endure. Your strength and will defeated those who tried to end you. Your strength and will to live is proof that you won. I do understand, what I am trying to prove to you. I did not feel strong let alone a winner. I felt very much the opposite.
===============
No matter what you have already endured in this life. Even if you think and believe that all this life has ever been is Hell on Earth. There always is something positive to learn. Even if it is a simple positive thing that people can smile at in a weird way. Such as for me. "It is not good to try and kill your adopted son (me)". I know that was probably a failed attempt at humor. That is a basic lesson to learn. It is not good to kill your children, to abuse your children, to torture your children and etc.
There are about 500,00 kids in foster care every single year in the USA and the majority of those kids have parents who did not know that one simple truth and still don't. 
==================

Search for those positive good things which are within you. You are of great value and importance. 

==============

You are worthy of the life you know you should have. You can give to your own children the life you always ever wanted. make the effort and make it happen.

Love Lust: (Edited): Teen Rated Warning: 06 Feb 2013:

Lust often begins when that which is searched for is easily seen. Love often begins when that which is not easily seen is discovered. C.J.MacKechnie

======================
Lust always begins when you seek and search for those physical traits which are acceptable to you and then you give into those physical feelings. Knowing the mind of that person isn't of any importance. Knowing the heart of that person isn't even a concern. Knowing the spirit of the person may not even be believed. The spirit, the heart and the mind of a person is and can be of more importance than only the physical traits easily seen outwardly.
=====================
The mind of a person is necessary to know before you decide to give a person your time. The traits of a person in their outward life, such as honesty, dependability, reliability, loyalty, integrity, confidence and others.
==============================
The heart of a person is necessary to know before you decide to give your own heart to a person, such as compassion, love, mercy, empathy, forgiveness, affection, warm-heartedness, devotion, courage, trust, tenacity and others.
===================
The spirit of a person is necessary to know before you can give all of who you are to the one who shall be your one and only, such as their connection to the Divine, vision, principles, openness, commitment, steadfastness, persistence, gentleness, patience, faithfulness and others.
===================================
It is important for you to make wise decisions in your life, especially if you desire that one true love with whom you can begin your own family and walk hand-in-hand with even when you have been rewarded with crowns of silver.
Always giving into your lusts may in fact prevent the love of your life/soul mate ever to be known. What if the love of your life/soul mate is not womanly or manly enough for you? Yes, you may know physical pleasures that you could not know with him or her. But, you will never know the heights of the heart, the mind and the spirit. How much is that for a loss or absence in your life? Choose love over lusts. The growth of love grows forever in life. Whereas lusts fades over time and the bodies age becomes limited. Love is forever.
=======================

What is deemed important in your culture may actually be of zero importance in life. In fact, your acceptance of a cultural wrong may be harmful to you in regard to your physical, mental and spiritual health. Do not settle for lust's pleasures when it will cost you the love of your life and the loss of your soul mate.
