Life is many times a hard thing to deal with. For many it only brings pain and for the others they lie.
According to spiritual text lift is to be led in service to others, but religion teaches that you are to lord the strengths that you have gained over people that are less fortunate then you. It seems that this view is becoming only that much more prevalent these days.
The Bible for instance states that you are, “to love thy neighbor as thy self.” Most church goes are too busy looking at what someone else is wearing, or watching to see what they do wrong, to have some reason to gossip about them.
Though I am what I consider a Christian, someone that loves God and believes that Jesus is God’s Son, I do not stand with this idea that we are better then the rest of the world like most I have met. I know that I am not the only one that sees things this way but sometimes I wonder.
What ever happened to the days when people helped each other no matter what? It shouldn’t matter a person’s skin color, religion, sexual preference, gender, or age. We are all in the same boat and it is sinking fast.
Some times I want to jump ship, but then I realize that if I do that I won’t be able to handle this world alone. For that reason I keep holding on and hoping against hope that things get better.
This life isn’t meant to be taken alone. That is why we have partners and friends in it. It is a life that is meant to be faced together but most are too busy pushing each other away.
Life is hard so don’t face it alone. Be the bigger person and find friends to take it on with. We all need each other. |
