i was listening to this relient k cd and i decided a few things. so yesterday me and matt were talking, well i guess matt was talking because i don't really talk, and he said that he thinks the meaning of life is to love people. and i think that's wonderful and all, but i don't like how some people are like we should love everyone because i don't want to love everyone. i don't think you should necessarily be mean to people but i don't think you should be guilt tripped into loving them. i mean basically the idea of that is surround yourself with your enemies when really you should surround yourself with people you love. and if you make a friend out of an enemy eventually then that's great. so basically what i'm thinking is that the golden rule should be rephrased. because what if you don't love yourself, does that mean you shouldn't love anyone? or what if someone murdered the love of your life, should you love them? i'm not saying you should be an idiot and hurt them just because your hurt, but i find it hard to believe that we are expected to love everyone if something like that can happen. i don't think this makes any sense at all. and the other thing i decided is that i don't like the idea of grace. i don't like that we are living in "the age of grace" because really what it means to me is that we are taking advantage of the idea of god and we can do something that we know will piss him off, ( dont know does god get pissed off?) and he'll still forgive us. it's really unfair. oh the system. sometimes it seems like such bullshit to me.
