Everyone needs validation and support, which is the reason gangs formed and thrive. While I support the words in this image, I would like to add that any group that encourages wrongdoing is not one with which to bond. 

I believe gangs formed for the sole purpose of finding others in the same boat--lacking support, love, recognition, belonging--initially. But today gangs prey on the weak and initiate with violence and unlawful activities. Reminding you that you can is not from love but from threats. Too many are willing to pay that price out of desperation to belong, not because this group thinks like they do.

My point is there are tribes out there that, because they are like-minded, do not use violence and disrespect for the law as a bonding tool. Any group that uses these things does not care about you; it cares about image and money. It has become a business.

I add this entry because the words in the picture are very true and it is my hope and prayer that you find your tribe and that it leads you to great, rewarding, spiritual as well as physical, success.
