"cruelty"

I believe one’s right to be angry does
not foster one a right to be cruel. 
Just because two people argue
does not mean that they don’t love
each other. But we are
responsible for
our cruel actions
no matter 
how we 
feel.

you know Moses, this means so much to me, in my life, and the one close to me. im sending this to my favs. its so true, you have the right to be angry, but true love will mend these problems, but if one can't accept that, and let their anger take over them, then cruelty is what they show, not only to others involved, but to themselves. ~Always&Forever Lynette
