“You’re going to meet many
people with domineering
personalities: the loud, the
obnoxious, those that
noisily stake their claims in
your territory and
everywhere else they set
foot on. This is the
blueprint of a predator.
Predators prey on
gentleness, peace,
calmness, sweetness and
any positivity that they sniff
out as weakness. Anything
that is happy and at peace
they mistake for weakness.
It’s not your job to change
these people, but it’s your
job to show them that your
peace and gentleness do
not equate to weakness. I
have always appeared to be
fragile and delicate but the
thing is, I am not fragile
and I am not delicate. I am
very gentle but I can show
you that the gentle also
possess a poison. I compare
myself to silk. People
mistake silk to be weak but
a silk handkerchief can
protect the wearer from a
gunshot. There are many
people who will want to
befriend you if you fit the
description of what they
think is weak; predators
want to have friends that
they can dominate over
because that makes them
feel strong and important.
The truth is that predators
have no strength and no
courage. It is you who are
strong, and it is you who
has courage. I have lost
many a friend over the fact
that when they attempt to
rip me, they can’t. They
accuse me of being
deceiving; I am not
deceiving, I am just made
of silk. It is they who are
stupid and wrongly take
gentleness and fairness for
weakness. There are many
more predators in this
world, so I want you to be
made of silk. You are silk.” …read more
