Daily Zen:

"Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to a better understanding of ourselves."

There are few times in my life I have been truly angry.

Coming home and seeing Namari cry is one. Seeing the bruises to her arms and knowing the cause was not a fall, a bump or childish silliness gone wrong. They were inflicted upon her by people with no right to raise even a voice to her.

I could not resist any longer and I went to speak with those people. I hope they understood my words well and they will never touch her again.

Now I must leave... It is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I do not wish to leave her side... I do not want to leave my family. I know I must.

I agree. She is different. With time I think she will come to understand.

I hope so. Hug her for me, will you? Just because after what she's been through, she needs all the hugs she can get.

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

I will do that for you.

I agree, she does.

You're such a good brother.

[master-of-zen.livejournal.com]

I try. All I can do is try.

Mm. I know the feeling.
