Many years ago, I grew up as a child whose parents had limited means of
survival. Growing up in meager accommodations can be hard for anyone to
endure. It is even worse when you are teased by the neighborhood
children for not having as much. Recently, I ran into one of those rude
characters from my past. In fact, I was with some of my friends when
this person came to me for help. I could have easily taken this time to
act a fool on them because of the way that they used to treat me years ago. Instead, I took the high road and I helped them fix their problem.
The moral of this story is this: When you have a chance to get even
with someone and then you don't do so, it is at that point that you have
truly mastered the true art of forgiveness. Always remember that
forgiveness is not for the other person. It is to allow you the chance
to move forward emotionally with your life. Thank God for maturity.

No Parking
A few years ago, an old friend of mine and I decided to take a road trip to go to a mutual friend's house party. I was not feeling the party and I was ready to go. It was at this house party that my friend met this pillow princess by the name of Crystal. Crystal and her crew decided that they wanted to go to Club Hollywood for a little more excitement. My friend was still trying to get her number so as his wing man, I felt obligated to help him see this thing through.
When we got to the club, we saw that there were no places to park except next to a fence which had a sign that clearly read "No Parking Anytime !"
I pleaded to him that we should not park there. However there were 3 other vehicles that were already parked there. He replied, " There are already 3 cars here. They want get all of us right?" I agreed and then we on in the building. That club was jam packed however, it was not fun at all.
At about 4 in the morning, I returned to the place where I had parked to notice that not only was my vehicle missing, but so were the other three as well.
As it turns out, there was a tow truck that was driving by each hour and towing vehicles that were parked near the fence. Apparently, that was easy money for him. Even though my friend ended up hooking up with Crystal, I lost my vehicle for the evening. Even though I helped him to accomplish his mission, he never even offered to help me pay half of the towing bill for my efforts.
I never hung out with him again afterwards.
The moral of this story is this: If you ever are in a jam and you really need a place to park, don't be defiant and park in a place that reads No Parking. It could cost you an unnecessary parking ticket or towing bill.
