Conviction is a powerful thing when used appropriately but can be very dangerous when used in the wrong ways. I can’t imagine why so many people use their conviction, or speak with conviction, for bad reasons. This makes me very sad to hear. When I use conviction in my arguments, it’s often because I am very passionate about what I am saying. Other times it is to be a jerk.
thick walls hold back natural impulses
light from within spits through thin skin
roots pouring up from the tired earth
hold feet and legs
firm mind
tough stance
full bore
hail storms will not sway me
Convicted with no idea of what I’ve done. Sleeping in the dark walking through closed walls, bright lights blaming me for the clouds shadowing the past. I have conviction in the above, less in below but whatever the case, I am still convicted.
i say with the utmost conviction that I am petrified and terrified of humanity. There is so much tragedy and cruelty and its omnipresence is disgusting. Life is tragic. Conviction is conditional. This is all conditional. I retract my statement.
I couldn’t do it. I knew it was wrong, down to my core. But the sea of eyes, watching me, made me bend and buckle. Do I take a stand here? Or do I commit this crime against my own morals?
I was absolutely, totally, utterly sure. So sure that I willingly handed myself in to the police. Yes, I was guilty of crimes against the written word and, yes, I was willing to pay the price. My conviction? To write as much as humanly possible in 60 seconds….
I believe in myself. At least, I think I do. But I’m not sure…Do I? Well I probably do, I suppose it depends on the circumstances or something. But I always know how I feel and think and I’m sure of myself. I think I am anyway, I think I have conviction, but I’m not totally sure..
My conviction.. this is a song that I can’t remember the words to. My conviction is my destiny. My destiny is not to be left up to others- I have power over my own destiny. Others have their say, but it is my decision. Even criminals have a say in there own convictions- they had a say before they committed the crime.
Conviction. Prisoners, all different kinds. Prisoners in jail. Prisoners of war. Especially prisoners, of your own heart. My heart, is attracted to you still….It’s keeping me imprisoned. Please, let go of me. I want to be free. Like a bird….flying in the deep blue sky. Like a swing, swinging, up until you touch the sky. Being free…..What I want most. What I thrive for. I will always be a prisoner. A prisoner of your heart.
How dare they! Why wouldn’t they believe me? I was innocent! This accusation was idiotic! This was nothing more than a creative conviction. These people were utterly stupid if they believed that I was capable of doing that. I wouldn’t! I couldn’t! Would I? Could I?
Conviction is a confusing thing. It causes one to make a choice–whether they will accept and grow, or become offended and walk away. The mature choice is always to accept and bear the hurt pride.
The passion of your beliefs and the drive inside of you to persue it. It’s raw, like fresh meat and it makes you feel alive again. Conviction is a power that encourages strength an the fire in your belly to go for it. Do stop, just do and believe
Deciet. death. accused. killing yourself slowly by convicting yourself of the wrong doing. Not giving yourself enough credit. Not loving enough. Not being loved enough. No lies, just love.
the man was convicted for his felony of abusing his wife and children. He was placed in jail for 20 years to life but was released after serving only fourteen years of his sentence. Is this justice system fair? Should he not have to go through what he was put through?
His heart slammed against the inside of his chest.
His ribs and lungs cowered at the noise,
begging the heart to stop–
for fear that the cavity would cave in.
His palms, slick with sweat, patted his breast reassuringly.
There was no punishment to be had today.
The past was not the only thing preventing him from employment, but it was certainly one of the biggest. None of the businesses looking to hire were willing to take a chance on someone who had previously been in prison.
Shimmering on the ground it lay, the Ruby from the cave. “That’s it!” exclaimened Marcus. Even after all the other fake rubies he had found on his travels through the Indies, he had a strong conviction that this was the one he had been searching for.
I’m not entirely sure what conviction means, to be honest. As a guess, though, I presume that it is when you’re pointing the finger at someone for something. You hear about ‘convicting’ on the news all the time, so this is my best guess. It’s when you accuse someone of something.
I don’t really know what to say about conviction. I think about being convicted. Mostly being convicted of a crime. But, besides that, nothing comes in mind. Maybe I’m not just as educated in that word, who knows. I guess I’ll see. Conviction though, man what a word.
I need to have conviction in my life. That is a simple fact. I seem to be hampered by my lack of decisiveness. This is what you should me to drive myself to my limits, to be a better person, and to, in all naïveté, change the world.
something that pulls you towards a certain action, response, or way of thinking. It tugs at your heart strings if you will. This may happen as a result of experiencing a scene, view, speech, or any event that triggers an emotional response. I also believe that conviction comes with much passion, emotion, and sentimental feeling
You have been convicted. Convicted of being a liar. No, you didn’t lie about killing someone, or about drugs, or anything you could get thrown in jail for. But you have convicted of lying to me. Your girlfriend. The one person who trusts absolutely every bit of information in you and you can’t even tell me why your sister contacted me about something stupid your about to do. Withholding information is just as much a lie as lying. And the fact that I asked you straight up what she was talking about, you said you would be able to look me in the eyes and have nothing to say. Why, no, HOW could you lie like that to me?
“He’s guilty,” Shannon said with the utmost conviction. But I wasn’t so sure.
“She’s right,” Jacob said, backing her up.
It was just the three of us and a copy of Native Son. How could I not identify with Bigger, after following him for so many pages? Wright makes the point that society is to blame. But they’ve ganged up on me, and there’s nothing left for me to do.
conviction is necessary to portray what you really feel. action is useless without conviction. conviction cannot be manufactured. conviction is a movie, i think. conviction is a good tool for getting a point across. uhh. conviction.
It was inevitable, they said. Artie’s way of life just didn’t comply with the law, and though he said “Life works out somehow,” he was stuck in prison for 24 years, wasting away. Artie was great, but… in the end he got what he deserved.
“Oh Jensen, after your conviction I just didn’t know what I was going to do! Everything was so confusing, what with the new marshall law rules and all.”
“I meant, HOW can you be here, I pulled your dead body from our garden,” Jensen answered.
The weight of my conviction was heavy. All the sin, all the hatred, it was heavy on my heart and my mind. I was guilty, and I knew it. I knew how I should change, but I didn’t want to change it, which made my self conviction only more inflicting.

the man was convicted because he confessed that he was a former drug attic.this conviction took many days as he tried to escape the country.
People these days have become either apathetic or so extreme as to cause protests and riots. There’s no happy medium; which is where I belong.

“It could have been different.”
The words were bitter on her tongue, but the guilt seared her flesh with an acidic burn; a scar to bear in heartache.
Conviction
“You’re guilty!” she decried with conviction. “I KNOW you did it. Now it’s just a matter of conjuring up the evidence to prove it!”

“Five to ten years?”
“Yes. I’m sorry.”
“But your job! And the kids!”
“I know, but we tried. We really tried. It didn’t work.”
“But…how are we going to live?”
“Sarah.”
“How am I going to live?”
“Just like that, hon. Live.”
“But…”
“Live with or without me. Write only if you want to.”
“I’ll write. Always.”

What is conviction? Dedication to a cause that to others might seem a lost cause.
