(no subject)
i went for a walk to clear my head and to prepare my legs for the coming assault. when they are strong i will make my lungs strong.
how can there be any blank walls? would it be wrong for me to spray paint bible verses on the sidewalk? why are all the sidewalks bare?
why are people so threatened by "christians"? i dont feel very freightening.
family. what a complicated subject. to me it is clear that i do not owe my mother or father anything for giving birth to me. i was not consulted. further, and mostlikely more importantly, they did not give me life on purpose or for selfless reasons. their motives were their own. i believe that for the kindness and love they showed in raising me they deserve my respect and it seems fair that the same kindness is returned when they grow old. what more can your family ask of you fairly? i do not know.
gifts are another very strange thing to me. people give gifts because it is expected. people have expectations for the gifts. i like how God did it. he gave us life, and allows us to do what we want with it. people want to think that God has a hand on everything that happens that he is constantly molding events. i think that he lets us live our life however we want until we ask him to come into it. then what he does in our life, how involved he is, depends on what we ask of him. if we ask him to come into our life, to be our father, then we are bringing punishment upon ourselves when we make errors and blessing when we please him. some people think he rewards sinners, but infact i believe that he gave them the gift of life, asked them to take him as their father, and then let them live for themselves. to me that seems a very kind thing, considering how hard it must be for him to watch people do terrible things with his gift. I realize that i do not have that kind of patience. the concept is amazing to me.
