Talk about pushing buttons!
Arrogant. That was me all right. Overcoming addiction
was a difficult task, admittedly.....but I was no ordinary
person. Playing the humility game was of course obligatory
but deep down I knew I would best it . I brought a phalanx
of skills and incredibly difficult accomplishments to this
game called life. If YOU people could not defeat this thing,
it is only because you don't bring to the battle the skillsets
that I do.
(Is THAT arrogant enough for you?)
God dropkicked me in the balls and taught me a lesson in
humility I will never forget, and for that.....paradoxically....
I will always be grateful.
I only wish it didn't take the sacrifice of the life of a great
lady to teach me this lesson.
I am still proud of my life and accomplishments. But in place
of my arrogance is the mantra of....
...."be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle
you know nothing about".
