Some of my modern proverbs
Life is practice
Life is practice. A pro-bowler only stops when he retires from bowling. The living should continue to practice their life until they retire.
What is your life?
Please bare with me
I know I tell people, be honest, be faithful, be patient.
Bare with me, I’m also learning these things, and am far from perfect in them.
Men are not the banners they wave
Remember: the banner one wraps himself in is nothing more than an excuse, whether it is good or evil. Judging his banner is not judging him.
Judge the mans actions not his claimed associations.
Terms Matter
If you give to someone, don’t expect a return. If you expect a return it isn’t a gift but a down payment or exchange.
The media can, and will, make any group of people look evil, if it serves and agenda
If a Man in jail converts to Christianity, breaks out, and kills two guards with their own guns, is he an example of those radicalized terrorist Christians?
Always seek more of the story, and not just the media narrative.
You do not have to bleed for them who stab you
How to honor those who have burned your trust: in prayer and glad tidings. Nothing more can be expected.
Reaching down to help someone up, in practical constraint
Being loving does not mean drinking the poison given to you by those you help. It means helping them put that poison down too.
Being a social animal doesn't mean acting in a collective
Everyone is a social animal, they just haven’t fount their pack. One size and type never fits all.
My pack loves individualism and does things on their own, without group discussion or consent.
Even the youth should seek education outside of the establishment
Kids and young people: if being in a collectivist school is getting you bullied, seek other education opportunities. There are probably plenty, in your area, that exist, which the collectivist won’t tell you about.
Loneliness
You are not alone. If you do not find compatible people, look somewhere else.
Trying to find the right answer?
Do you have less answers, or less answers that you are willing to face?
Sometimes not willing to stand up is because you are not ready to fight for those answers.
