I also hate when people say that they'll text me, so I wait and wait and wait and wait and wait and wait. And wait. They never text! It's like, what the heck! It's one thing to not text the same day (when they said they would), but not texting in two weeks? That's ridiculous.
Here's a topic that some of us might not like so much.
I hate it when people blame God. "That guy totally ripped me off! Where was God??" "This stupid soda machine won't give me my change!" "Why is God doing this to me? I'm just trying to help!"
The answers are as following: The guy that ripped you off has a free will just like you. For God to step in and change that guy's mind wouldn't be giving him a choice. The soda machine won't give you change? That sucks. Maybe you should talk to the mechanic that put it together. Not God's fault, though. Why is God doing this to you? Good question. Here's a better question, though. What is He doing to you?
What do we expect God to do? Punch that guy in the face? Believe me, that guy already has a punishment waiting for him. What do we expect God to do? Fix the soda machine? What if that machine was built for ripping you off? Not God's fault.
The God we all know and blame is not responsible for our misfortunes. He lets things happen to us, yes. But He's not the direct cause. No, He's the One that actually helps us through it. Yes, He could prevent these bad things from happening, but what's the use in that?? If He did that with everything, we'd never need to rely on God.
Actually, we would. But, fact is, we're human. If He prevented any bad thing from happening, we'd never run to Him for help. We'd never thank Him for the great day. Why? Let me explain.
It's the same reason that spoiled rich kids are ungrateful. They don't know what they have. They say that you don't know what you have until it's gone. That's almost completely true. But what about the kid that doesn't have anything? You think he's going to know what he has? You better believe he does. Why? Because he depends on everything he has. He has to watch how much he uses of what he has. He has to be careful not to eat too much so that he can have more the next day.
This is the difference: The spoiled kid doesn't know what he has, thus not being thankful. The poor kid who has nothing (almost nothing) knows exactly what he has and is very thankful for it. The rich spoiled kid has grown up with everything he could ever dream of (even if he doesn't think so). Why should he be thankful if he doesn't get that new $30,000 car?
I think my point is clear. And, if not, then I'm clearly too tired to be writing this and will have to start over in the morning.
What is it with me and my sleep, anyways?? It seems like I'm always tired. Always. I'm tired when I wake up, I'm tired when I eat lunch, I'm tired before work, I'm tired on my break, I'm tired after work, I'm tired when I'm with friends, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired! I blame God. =P
