So many feeling about many things, and it is distracting me from my work.
( Glee Prom spoilers )
( Spoilers about Glee 3x15 )
Talking to Mel about families and their dysfunctionality. How I really appreciate people who are aware of the dysfunctionality that exist, and perhaps rise beyond it. It breaks my heart to see people trapped in their family expectations. They are more than that. They are amazing and not as broken as they think.
Also, about acceptance in the Christian community. How we preach love, but we have so many conditions on the type of people we can love.
I hate it. I hate it so much that we put conditions on the people that God calls to him. Why do people have to earn our love, when we claim that we love with God's love? God's love, and Jesus' death, was poured out for all. FOR ALL. Not for one, not for a few, not for many, but for ALL. Why do people try to play God and decide to judge even before they love?
The more I am aware of this dichotomy, the more I can't stand it. While I emphathize with some people more than others, the only type of peopel I can't empathise with are those prejudiced, bigoted people. Why do I have to listen to their ungrounded, biased views that hurt so many people? Why do I have to respect them when they don't respect people?
And the worst thing is that they don't even realise that they are hurting people. They are so blinded by their hate and their prejudice that they think they are helping others. They refuse to see how they are harming lives, when they push their bigotry and prejudice on others. They do it so carelessly and thoughtlessly. They perpetuate untrue stereotypes, and ruin lives. No one is God. Only God can judge. All we can do is love, and let God lead the way.
Love is the way to God, and God is the way to eternal life. Why is it so hard to practice?
