RE: Don't give up, Give it a little more time.
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone",
that's quite a direct and pretty formulation, isn't it?
People who are married fall in love with others and then they are verbally stoned because you are not allowed to cheat on your spouse. And yet it happens every day, all over the world. Are they all bad people now? Indeed, those who think they are all bad people have probably done some of these unacceptable things themselves and secretly accuse themselves, so they can't help but find it unforgivable in others too, about whom they know nothing after all.
And if one were to ask him: Did you cheat on your wife out of revenge, out of malice, for lower reasons, the answer would also be quite possible that he did it out of despair, hopelessness and speechlessness and that he might be forgiven.
If he really did it out of revenge, hatred and arrogance, his own perceived guilt weighs even worse, but who can really admit that he did something out of revenge or arrogance? When everyone around you looks like the purest of angels?
Where a sinner admits his sin, he may already forgive himself for it and he no longer needs the absolution of others.
Instead of taking sides with or against a friend who, for example, surrenders to alcohol, the sinner knows he could also ask the friend "What do you need? What do you think would be wise to do?" And, insofar as the one being asked does not know the answer, preferring to continue drinking, one can let him do so and still remain a friend.
If he cannot, because he is too miserable to see the friend continue to drink, then it is wise to withdraw. Not because the friend should be punished, but because you yourself cannot bear to witness the suffering of another without wanting to force him to do something he does not seem ready to do.
Therefore, you cannot be happy all the time, it is impossible not to feel sadness as well. But both states come and go, don't they? If you think you can stay in constant bliss, fate will come around the corner and teach you otherwise, yes? But of course, you are correct, life can be seen as being about happiness :)
I just used more words than you did ;-)
Hahaha, I see you used more words than I did.
This really seemed more like a sermon, I get your point completely and I gotta say Indeed no one can feel happiness all the time but that doesn't mean we shouldn't strive for happiness.
And Hey! No one is perfect we all have our flaws but some or most people always want to claim that skill of perfection and that isn't right at all.
LOL, I am really good at this Christian sermon thing. I am a raised Christian, what can I say? ;-)
Now that you know that, you don't have to be like most people, do you? By not showing yourself to them as their own reflection, they can relax and just be who they want to be for a change and not think they have to be. Of course, this only works if you don't worry about what others think of you (while you still can care about what you think of them).
I see, Me too was raised up as a christian but when i got grown up I began to see the flaws and fallacy in christianity and I was now like, Damn! I can't do this christian shit anymore I gatta bust out of this bullshit. And den Boom!I left it swiftly and I joined the pagan club.
Yes, I didn't even know that now, I knew that since. And I stopped caring about what anyone thinks about me and I don't care about what I think about them.
I mean, I am emotionally Intelligent so I understand how that feels perfectly so I never try to care about what I think about other people. To me life is meaningless and worthless so why live it to please someone? Crazy!
Would it aggravate you, if I would say that I do not believe you?
You seem to relativize it a bit yourself when you say you "try never to care about ..."
That's my point. I am trying it, either. I find it very very difficult to be successful - LOL - my inner judges and "I know it better voices" are sometimes really a pain in the ass.
When you say, life is meaningless, I agree, while it sounds firstly negative. Also, pleasing someone with a pleasant act is different and very enjoyable, compared to wanting to please everybody by "correct speech".
Have a wonderful day, my young friend. I am out for now :)
Woah, Oh Hell no, It won't and can't aggravate me, Because I don't care about anyone's opinion. You don't have to believe me you know.😁 I only spoke my mind and that's what is important.
It's ok, I get it.
Have a wonderful day too, Dear.😊
