dangit.
Why do I have to come off as being so sententious? I hate it, it drives me nuts, because I don't mean to be like that, I really don't. Whenever I tell someone not to do something immoral (as in cheating, cussing, etc) I just feel so overbearing and moralizing and it bugs the heck out of me, but I do it because it irks me more that people do stuff like that, especially people who know better.
And. I think I annoy people because I try to be morally upright, which isn't good because that defeats the whole purpose of being morally upright. I mean, it's to keep my morals, but I also want to set a good example, and if it annoys people, they won't exactly follow the example I'm trying to set! I don't do it because my "goody-two-shoes" reputation needs to be kept or whatever, but because I think I've hurt God enough with my life, and I strive to do my best to follow his commandments and to be more like Jesus. Of course, I usually fail miserably, contrary to popular belief. Really, I'm so judgemental and mean sometimes, I despise my behavior. Really. Not even kidding. I don't care how many rules I keep, I break just as many of God's guidelines.
By the way, sententious means "giving advice in a self-righteous manner." Not a good thing.
Wow, this is like my first LJ post in like... one heck of a long time. And don't try to convince me that I'm not sententious because I know you think so too.
