responsibility
I flipped on the tv just now, always a mistake, and i just have to say i'm disguisted. People eat and inflate themselves to ridiculous weights to where their life is in serious danger and we are suppose to go awwww...poor thing, lets clap to reinforce what he has made himself become in hopes they will change. Everyone wants therapy and support...i'll support someone when they stop feeling sorry for themselves, b/c i dont feel sorry for them per say. Ask a guy why hes an alcoholic and he says, "Becuase my father was." Ask a guy who isnt an alcoholic why and he says, "Becuase my father was." Don't make excuses for people, it enables them to justify the choices they make when ultimately they need to wake up and take responsibility for their actions. YES, making good choices can be hard in life but dont blame other people for your lack of integrity. It probably sounds like my heart is really hardened toward people right now, but on the contrary love isnt the hippy way of accepting everyone to make them feel good, its about caring for them so much you'd speak truth to them no matter how they feel so that they may change, and know Christs love ultimately. Love....times for hugging and sharing and times for action and speaking truth that hurts...all in His timing.
