O Lord, rebuke me not in Thine anger, nor chasten me in Thy wrath.
For Thine arrows are fastened in me, and Thou hast laid Thy hand heavily upon me.
There is no healing in my flesh in the face of Thy wrath; and there is no peace in my bones in the face of my sins.
For mine iniquities are risen higher than my head; as a heavy burden have they pressed heavily upon me.
My bruises are become noisome and corrupt in the face of my folly.
I have been wretched and utterly bowed down until the end; all the day long I went with downcast face.
For my loins are filled with mockings, and there is no healing in my flesh.
I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly, I have roared from the groaning of my heart.
O Lord, before Thee is all my desire, and my groaning is not hid from Thee.
My heart is troubled, my strength hath failed me; and the light of mine eyes, even this is not with me.
My friends and my neighbours drew nigh over against me and stood, and my nearest of kin stood afar off.
And they that sought after my soul used violence; and they that sought evils for me spake vain things, and craftiness all the day long did they meditate.
But as for me, like a deaf man I heard them not, and was as a speechless man that openeth not his mouth.
And I became as a man that heareth not, and that hath in his mouth no reproofs.
For in Thee have I hoped, O Lord; Thou wilt hearken unto me, O Lord my God.
For I said: Let never mine enemies rejoice over me; yea, when my feet were shaken, those men spake boastful words against me.
For I am ready for scourges, and my sorrow is continually before me.
For I will declare mine iniquity, and I will take heed concerning my sin.
But mine enemies live and are made stronger than I, and they that hated me unjustly are multiplied.
They that render me evil for good slandered me, because I pursued goodness.
Forsake me not, O Lord my God, depart not from me.
Be attentive unto my help, O Lord of my salvation.
@stux Right now im mostly flipping between Thailand (Where my fiance is) and the USA due to business and personal reasons. Though i intend to maintain residence in netherlands and will be back there again very soon for part of the year.
Sadly business isnt very easy to conduct in europe, USA is where the money is most of the time and i have to go where work calls me.
My company is 100% remote so i have people in europe, usa, and asia, so I do flip around a lot though.
You still in dutcherland?
@miscosicas I've been a victim of identity theft, and this "cloning" be it without or within the Fediverse, is not even close to the real deal. And I've been a victim as well of people talking about me without knowing it, because they took a screenshot of what I said, _privately_ at that, and posted it elsewhere I didn't know until someone told me.
My only options were (a) ignore it (a.k.a. don't feed the trolls); (b) sue them; and/or (c) make a statement.
Evil people, and people who hates us for some reason only them knows, will always find ways to make our lives miserable. Been there, a lot of times. But here I am, still using social networks and believes in #BringDownTheWalls and #BuildBridgesNotWalls since 2008 when the Fediverse first went online.
Right now, there's no one solution that won't affect the innocents just because of some undesirables. Personally, the innocents far outweighs those undesirables. 🙂
@MxVerda it was trafficking, 10+ lbs on my person.
I'm proud of how far I've come, and I understand if I'm limited to where I can travel, but my past doesn't define me.
My current actions do.
I'm sorry, @gael ... I did not intend to be a jerk. That was entirely poorly chosen words - and fully my fault! I hope you can forgive me.
My intention was just to hear if there was some odd issues which had a reasonable cause. It seemed odd that the main service in the Murena platform had such issues.
It's a new day and I refuse to let yesterday kill the things that are the most important to me.
My joy.
My peace.
My kindness.
My compassion.
None of these thrive in misery. I will feed them and care for them and watch them grow DESPITE those who would see me dragged into the gutters with them.
I will persist.
