The Greatest Commandment

Writing this one in the car. Sitting in my seat watching lightning run throughout the clouds and little raindrops fall onto the windshield. Lifehouse playing on the radio. Song says "I'll do whatever it takes, to turn this around." 

I wonder how much I would do for someone or for something.  How far would I go in order to get someone I want. Follow them to the end of the earth? Call just to hear their voice? Talk to them and always say the ultimate Tom Cruise line,"You complete me." 

Someone that is my other half. Holding on to the other half of my heart waiting for that other piece to complete the puzzle. Like the Kanye song, maybe we're all heartless. A solo is inspiring but a duet brings hope and change. 

Strong and compassionate are words that seem totally different but after some time seem like a perfect match.  I would like to be strong and compassionate.

Strength helps with confidence in my opinion. Something that makes you a little bolder in things you do. It makes you surprise yourself at times. I imagine strength as standing up for what is right, being a leader, a follower, and lifting heavy things over your head and then chest bumping your bro while screaming deeply.

Compassion is something that I feel shows justice, love, and sincerity.  It's loving your neighbor as yourself, the greatest commandment, in action. Compassion, to me, is hugging someone that feels down, helping someone stuck on the side of the road, and crying while watching Marley and Me.

The greatest commandment includes a combination of compassion and strength, I think would be buying food for the homeless, talking with the socially outcast, and maybe crying after you chest bump your buddy.
