2/27/2014: Seek making a difference, not acceptance
S: 6:19am

Everything I do, everything we do, can be seen as right or
wrong. If I try to help others, there
will be people telling me “oh why are you helping others? Why not just help yourself?” They will tell me that the only one who will
care about you is yourself. Yet, if I
only help myself, there will be people telling me that “Why are you only
helping yourself?” Why are you not
helping others? Life is not just about
living for yourself; Life is about living for others. Everything can be subject to debate, everything
is not black or white. Except the
eternal laws found in the Bible, but that is my belief.
I feel writing benefits the reader but hurts the
writer. The writer has to give valuable
time to write while the reader benefits from reading. Yet, from another perspective, there are
times when writing benefits the writer more than the reader. The writer might be advertising something,
that person might have something to gain.
Or, the writer can be having fun, making humor at the expense of
others. The writer can also troll. Troll lol lol.
Children should be taught right from wrong. Children should learn to think for
themselves. Do not impose religion on
children. Children benefits from
religion. It seems like everything I do,
everything we do, can be considered by others to be deviant, illegal, or wrong. Even if I take a rule that society generally
agrees on, such as not sleeping in class, there are times when sleeping in
class is a better course of action than staying awake. That person, or should I say student, might
be thinking ahead and need the extra energy to get through the day. If that person forces him or herself to be
awake, that person might be too tired to function in other parts of their
lives. That person might get into an
accident driving or biking back from school, for example. I’m not saying sleeping in class is a good
thing, there are generalities, there are exceptions. If I go north, people (it seems a lot of
people actually) will try to tell me to go south. If I go east, people tell me to go west. If I don’t go anywhere, people will tell me
to go somewhere! There are also people
telling me just to stop moving.
I know there are things that are considered to be opinions,
others to be generally accepted by society, still others that are generally to
be considered to be correct due to past experience. Let nobody say that something must be right
100% of the time. There are no
absolutes. Only God can do that and I do
know some absolutes due to my (or what I call *my* holy spirit) interpretation
of the Bible. Since God sees everything,
let God be the judge. Yet, when I say
that, some people, to quote one of my professors, interpret more than what I
say. They think, “What! Are you trying to judge me? Are you trying to say what I’m doing is
wrong?” Nobody is saying that what you
are doing is wrong. On the contrary, I’m
trying to say that only God knows if something is right or wrong or different
shades of it. No human being should give
value judgments. That’s what I mean when
I say God will be the judge. I say that
to myself “God will be the Judge” all the time.
What I’m trying to say is that people should not try to seek
acceptance because it is not possible to be accepted or to please everyone or
even the majority, but people should seek to make a positive difference. People should be the person God wants them to
be. Or, if the person doesn’t believe in
God (and that is fine, I’m not going to judge, only.. yeah) that that person should
be all that they can be; that person should reach their full potential.
Sorry about writing this, but in a way, I’m not so
sorry. I’m tired of people trying to gerrymander
me into doing what they think, in their own definition, is right. If I am a lawyer, I can debate anything. I could be the devil’s advocate. People can have their own opinions, but in my
opinion, hardly anything is black or white, instead, I see different shades of
gray. Just look at history, for
example. There are full of interpretations
and different sides say different things, it’s just in the case of history,
might tends to make right (Look are WWII, Japanese textbooks vs. Chinese or
even American ones or look at the Axis’ side). Although morally, I do see one side as having
a darker gray than the other side. Oh
well, God will be the judge.
