the thorns and roses.
why do some people always like to put others down? whether by spiting the person or gossiping behind his/her back. why is it that some people like to pick out all the possible flaws of others, whether they know the person or not?
so that they'll feel better about themselves?
i realised that i have a lot of pre-conceived notions about many many people i dont even know personally. solely because of what others tell me. cos of what i hear, i fear getting to know these people better and even when i get to interact with them, i am so cautious that i can't get to know them properly. i think that's such a waste. what if they are actually perfectly nice people who will make good companions and their so-called flaws, though possibly true, are probably just over-exaggerated?
rahhh, it's time i start sieving out the half-truths from the truths.
anyway im digressing, haha. i was talking about people who always have something negative to say about practically everyone else.
i should stop hanging around this kinda people.. haha :D and stop being one myself.
well. calvin mentioned during sundown worship one day about something he read in Steps to Christ. abt sharing problems and frustrations with friends. well, this may cause some disagreement but the main gist was - we all have thorns and roses in our lives, why let others see the thorns when we can offer the roses? i agree actually. partially. i dont discourage sharing your life (including its problems) with those close to you, but we shld do it in the right attitude. not in anger but in sincere desire to make things better. no amount of whining and bitching will really help the situation, nor ourselves, nor the person we're talking to.
hmm, dont even know how i got to this topic, hahaha.
anyway, don't keep asking me to get a tagboard. cos i dont particularly like tags and won't be getting a board anytime in the near future, haha. there's a link at the end of every entry, and comments are most welcome :)
