I have always thought of others before myself, quite sensitive to other people's feelings, so much so that I would do abit of self-sacrifice in order not to inconvenience others. I would try to put others before me, its okay since I thought i wouldnt die giving a little. I try to be the good man, prefering not to spread rumours, backstab or even hatch malicious plots against people or even my own enemies. I try to forgive my enemies, how foolish?
I do not even have the courage to step on a tiny poor ant as I thought the ant has its own families too, killing it I thought, was a grievous sin.
I always try to have the good guy image because I believe it was right to do so after witnessing in movies that evil never triumphs over good. Or does it?
That was once me.
Now no-action-talk-only colleagues gets the promotions, the boss recognition. Selfish people gets all the spoils. People who hides ulterior motives wins the battle. Enemies try to take you down before you can even greet them. This is reality.
I am a catholic. All the above I have experienced with my eyes have induced in me a feeling of "survival of the fittest". But that somehow collides with my christianity beliefs where I'm supposed to forgive my enemies, make peace, help others even at the expense of myself. I guess it's time to change my mindset.
God favours the bold. It's okay to do a little bad if the overall benefits exceeds the bad. It's okay to commit a little sin if you want to protect yourself from being hurt. It's okay to break the rules if everybody is doing the same, it is just that they dun tell u and nobody knows it. It's okay to stand in the shadows and strike before the enemies does, because its only a matter of time before they take you down.
I'm not as benevolent as jesus who prayed for God to forgive his enemies. I'm human, imperfect.
what are your views? As the saying goes, when a horse is kind, people rides on it. When a person is kind, people bullies him. Kingdoms and wars were won not by being compassion, but by being merciless to the people opposing your beliefs.

Be devil when comes to protecting your loved one or rather yourself. I am a demon under the angels I shall said. If not for my parents, those bastards that u have mentioned will die horribly in my plots seriously.
Nevertheless, dun let those idiots spoil ur day too much as there are much pleasant things around in life.

You don't have to be a wuss to be a gentleman.
You don't have to give in all the time to earn your respect.
You don't have to be weak to be accepted.
You don't have to be a tyrant to be in control.
You don't have to be pretentious to be a man of God.
God favors the bold, but being bold does not means you be bad.
In your post, I sense weakness. I sense you are unable to stand up for yourself.
To fight a war, you must be strong.
To forgive, to be benevolent to be loyal.. it takes inner strength and courage. You seem to have none.

AS other ppl in this thread have said, being meek does not equate to being weak.
It's great you are someone self-sacrificing, this trait is increasingly becoming very rare. More and more people nowadays are concerned only for themselves. Being forgiving is a very good trait too; just take online forums for example, not just sgforums, but online foruyms everywhere; someone says some snide remark and we have a verbal war because no one can forgive.
However, forgiving others and being self-sacrificing does not mean you do no stand up for yourself.
See, if someone wrongs you deliberately, you forgive him, but that doesn't mean you don't protect yourself from them in future.
Of course, it is impossible to prevent injustices from happening. Just be sure to hold onto your moral stand, and stand up for yourself. I think since it's impossible to control others' actions, the best that you can do is to try to protect yourself.
don't give up!
