Either I am getting weaker
Or the temptation is getting stronger.

The good you find in others, is in you too.
The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.
After all, to recognize something you must know it.
The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.
The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.

The world around you is a reflection, a mirror
showing you the person you are.
To change your world, you must change yourself.
To blame and complain will only make matters worse.
Whatever you care about, is your responsibility.
What you see in others, shows you yourself.
See the best in others, and you will be your best.
Give to others, and you give to yourself.

Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.
Admire creativity, and you will be creative.
Love, and you will be loved.
Seek to understand, and you will be understood.
Listen, and your voice will be heard.

Show your best face to the mirror,
and you'll be happy with the face looking back at you.

Conditions are NEVER just right. People who delay action until all factors are favorable do nothing.

I should stop asking questions that I already know the answers to.

I don't even get disappointed anymore.
or sad.

resigned?
Maybe a little sad.

The illegal immigrant issue is driving me nuts.

illegal immigrant
someone who has entered a country by bypassing customs and immigration controls

Illegal immigration describes migration across national borders without complying with the legal requirements. Some people call those they suspect of illegally immigrating, "illegal immigrants" or "undocumented immigrants". People who arrive in a legal manner but then outstay their visas (that is the authorized time in the host country), may also have illegal status.

It's not that I don't have sympathy; I just don't understand how anyone can demand rights if they aren't even supposed to be here. This country was derived on immigration. Not necessarily "illegal" immigration.

With that said...

hysteria is too strong of a word,
confusion too tame.

What do you do when a person lies so much that you have to pick and choose which lies to call them out on?
