Raising Other Folk's Kids 2

The lies, the rumors, the hurtful words, the misconceptions, the disrespect, the dishonor, the discouragement, the deception, the phoniness, the negative issues that can arise out of any situation can seem to get loud and these things are made louder when you decide to keep quiet instead of speaking the truth. The pain and the hurt that folk that hate you think that they are causing you to suffer or even go without simply because they decide that they want to defame your character with nastiness, over an issue that did happen, becomes very real when you feed into it. But because they are what and where they are in their hearts, they choose to lie about it because many times their lie is the reality that they really wanted for their lives.
