Five Characteristics
There are a list of characteristics that every person has that he upholds in his life and in the life of those around him. These characteristics define him and the way he treats those around him. Here are mine.
Love: I believe in love. I believe that love bonds strangers together. Some may say that family is the strongest bond, but the reason that it is made strong is through love. Love can make you turn a friend into a spouse in turn making that person family. Love should be done with all your heart and never regretted.
Trust: Trust is a hard one. It is something fragile yet strong. Once I trust someone I trust them until the time that that trust has been broken. Trust should be given to all your friends and family until they prove that they are unable to handle it. I have put a lot of trust into those around me and it has lead to me getting hurt, but it has also forged bonds that could never have been made without that trust.
Loyalty: This is one of the biggest characteristics I hold to myself. Loyalty is something I hold in high esteem. It is something that I can not buy in people nor is it something that can be bought from me. Thus it has to be earned. It is a sign of respect that I give my loyalty to someone and once it has been given it is usually for life. Once someone has my loyalty they can count on me for just about anything.
Honesty: Always be honest. There is almost never a reason not to be honest. I'm not talking about being honest to the person next to you about how much you like their dress, but you shouldn't have to hide anything from someone. If you ever have to think twice about not being able to tell someone you trust and love something then you have a problem because you are hiding something that you have done that is wrong. I try to be honest and I hope people will be honest with me.
Forgiveness: Finally we come to forgiveness. Maybe the hardest of the five. It is hard to forgive someone for hurting you especially if that someone is someone you trust. But I truly believe in forgiveness. It is not good for the heart to keep a grudge and that means that we should forgive everyone who does something to us. And even the hardest things can be forgiven, believe me. But forgiveness must be complete and when you say you wipe the slate clean then mean it.
Love: I believe in love. I believe that love bonds strangers together. Some may say that family is the strongest bond, but the reason that it is made strong is through love. Love can make you turn a friend into a spouse in turn making that person family. Love should be done with all your heart and never regretted.
