In all that I do, I strive to always become a servant to others. I am submissive by nature, and people have learned to really taken advantage of it at times. I, however, have allowed it for periods of time, as I am willing to serve others.
In recent conversations with entities around Ohio, they have failed to understand that my cultural upbringing is a vital reason to why I’m so disposed to behave this way. I don’t just let anybody walk all over me, but I will allow for the person to correct their behavior, if they do not, I am not a slave, just a servant.
It is an idea lost on many. From some of those that know me well, I have heard that they would have long ago left their families to struggle on their own had they been me, but I do not see how I could walk out on any of them, bar my dad, and live with a clean conscience. For me serving and being submissive are part of a personal identity and not just a cultural or faith aspect. I can only hope that people see my actions, not as those of someone who is out of touch with reality, but as those of someone who hopes for the best for others (not in others).
