Who comes to your mind when you see this word “mercy”? your mother? or maybe is your father? brother, sister, husband? most of you will think of someone close among the relatives..

You forgot yourself! you are the most merciful on yourself, you always use your brain to prevent any harm, but sometimes even your brain gets deceived..

your brain wants that cigarette again and that pill again and again until depression hits and the levels of dopamine get to the ground.. fortuanately you become aware of that with experience.

Those who care about you, your parents or reltives tell you in advance what is good and what is bad, it’s a kind of a guide and this is why you feel their mercy towards you.

would you think that you would have been the same if you had embraced your parent’s advice? my mother used to tell me not to lie, not to become like our drunk neighbor, to learn how to spend my money and not to follow my uncle’s way of spending it in casinos gambling, to read a book or practice sport instead of going out hangout with girls or going to house parties.

“why mom?”

“because I said so and time will tell you”. (part01)
