The Traveler Knelt In Prayer, Reflection On The Times Past

Quote Of The Day: "I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments and glue them together again and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken -- and I'd rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived." ~Margaret Mitchell

Ok, I dont really know the author here but I do tend to agree with her. Taking what I know now to what I once believed, yeah I remember happier and better times where as some of the worse times and arguments I dont remember so well. I still talk about those good time with fondness and elaborate, happy memory. I dont dilude myself into thinking that something simplere could ever begin again, something that is fair to both, I dont want to make ammends or try and piece something so broken and shattered back together. God knows it was worth it and every bit of bad time is outwieghed massively by the good but it wouldnt be worth it to try and mend it. There would be jealousy, we would always have something nasty to use against one another, and no matter how hard we tried we'd get mad at one another for something and the war would be worse and the wounds deeper. This journal started because of her and I can honestly be thankful for that, its never been in me to hate for a long time, I cant hold it that long, eventually it fades away and becomes forgotten. In many way I suceeded in what I set out to do, I forgot the worst parts of her and now all that remains are memories of joy and some foggy memories of anger and a few old scars. No warrior should ever walk away from the battlefield without a scar because it means he wasnt fighting for all that he is worth and he has no honor, I have many scars and I intend to have more from other battles. Respect even your enemy, they deserve your appreciation because you deserve theirs. I treasure every worthy opponenent I have ever had just as much as every great allie because in the end I learned from both. There is a quote, I dont remember the author, but I have held it to be true for as long as I can remember "The difference between a friend and an enemy if that a friend stabs you in the front". Sometimes you lose friends because of it, but at least you know they did it for your own good. I hope She knows that I ran my blade through her front and never through her back just as she did for me, I saw the blade plunge into my stomach and for that im thankful. We inflicted deadly wounds on each other but we both lived and we faced each others eyes when we did it, we never stabbed one another in the back. I did have a friend lodge a knife in my back once, and while she put one through myf ront and cried he put it through my back and never even frowned and I knew him longer. THe funny part is that her I lost, him I still have, anyone have a trade offer? No? Eh, I dont blame ya.
