Remember that in this world every idea, happening etc has an OPPOSITE idea, happening etc. God vs Devil. Good vs Evil. Right vs Wrong. Look for the good when the bad happens. It’s ALWAYS there. A blessing is a curse. A curse is a blessing. The worlds greatest Teacher told us that 2,000 years ago. His words have never been disproven. Become His student. Peace and love and joy will become so clear to you. You will find it everywhere. Be well. ✝️❤️✝️

Mary McNally I think it’s hard to speak on it without having experienced it. I get where you’re coming from, but certain experiences like war, prison, captivity etc instil certain qualities in people to do the right thing by their fellow man. Michael’s decision might not have been ideal conventionally, but that doesn’t mean it was wrong.

@mathewmcdonald3657 4 года назад

He tells really good stories he definitely has your attention when he talks. But don’t think he’s telling the real dirt. He doesn’t have immunity and he doesn’t want to hurt his former associates. His story about the Colombo family fighting back is the most revealing in my opinion. He was dropping serious clues. If you pay attention you can put things together, he knows what he’s doing. He’s very calculating.
