Chumpness!

Who takes the cake for the biggest chump? Earning a label of 'chumpness' is not an easy task. I am a chump when I don't follow through because I've chosen not to, not because I am unable to. A chump is like a chimpanzee who chooses not to eat his dinner because it wasn't served with syrup on the side.

We've all been chumps at one time or another. Chumpness is normal and occurs universally at every given moment. Over time, repeated chumpness will define us. Some of us are born chumps, genetically programmed to chump untill our last days.

In the short term , the recipient of chump behaviour appears most affected. But it is in the long term where the chumper loses, absent of completeness and peace.

Stimuli which trigger chumpness are infinite. The processing of this stimuli is also key and varies from among individuals. This processing is molded both by environment and DNA blueprinting.

Being a chump is understandable and excuseble when grace is present, but an overload of chumpness is toxic regardless of which angle you look at it. A chump free world is a more wholesome world!

Bible:
Love is patient, love is kind.It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails.I Corinthians 13:4-8

Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other.

The Most Secret of Secrets

From behind the cloak they reek

Carying out self-designated roles

Plotting my fate and yours

Straight faced with tainted righteousness

The secrets they hold, they hoard

In the wrong hands they have fallen

Where many lives have sacraficed

In the name of God?, or in the name of men?

We look the other way

Those neon lights shine oh so bright

They make their moves

Slithery men reeking of cowardiceness

Judge to your pits' content

Of those who will die or live

Prepare though, for one thing is clear

Existence always finds it's balance

"A heart that aches is truly full of life"
