CONTINUED STORY
A story in the bible was about to change my life but not before I tried my own forms of justice. Here I was totally and completely exonerated from the bogus allegations even before a grand jury was called and now was the time for my revenge to begin. First I went to the police station that had me arrested in the first place and asked that they bring charges against Tom Steven’s for these false accusations. They warned me not to get started and since my trust in the police was shaken I decided it was best not to ruffle their feathers. I then sought justice through civil means but it’s hard but financial gains don’t replace pain and it’s hard to get monies from a dry sponge. In other words Tom Steven’s was talented enough to drag the civil case for as long as possible and claim financial hardship when it was finally decided against him.
The system of justice was failing me but my faith was rescuing me. I read the story of Joseph with a different depth that I never had before and it left a mark on me. I decided I would forgive Tom Steven’s as a person even if I couldn’t forgive his evil actions. The depth that he would go to for some silly files was pathetic and therefore he was a person who should in a sense be pitted instead of hated. In other words it was sad to see that something so small could make a person feel that he act in such an outrageous way. I was released of my anger and hate instead it was replaced with love for all those who stood by me during this most difficult part of my life . A new sense of appreciation of some basic freedoms and simple pleasures that were ignored in the past became a center force in my life then and even today. Although I wish that this would never happen to another I realized it helped me become a better more compassionate person.

Yet revenge would come but not by my hands or even thoughts.
