A Friend of mine shown me "chick tracks" a few weeks ago. And they are a comic strips about the Christian religion... And i would say an extremist view of Christianity . He Belives That the only way to be saved is to accept jesus as your savior. Being a good person. doing good deeds, and not spreading the word of god will send you to hell. You can be a super cereal killer child molesters can still go to heaven if you take Jesus as your savior..Even if you really Dont regret what you have done. In one track THese children were wondering about islam and one hard core christain little girl stopped them from saying the phrase "lā ʾilāha ʾillà l-Lāh," Witch i find odd becuase it means "there is no god but god" And is one of a greatest principles Muslims and Christians can agree on and Painted Muslims as the servants of the devil. If this is truly the god that exists then i would rather go to hell that worship this mans twisted of idea of what god is...

"Real men"
Today The topic of a "Real man" came up.. And to this person i was claimed to be "still a pup" or not a real man yet. and her definition of a real man was "A male who is essentially an asshole" My reasoning for this was i was talking to my girlfriend and her mother and my girlfriend said something about not wanting children and her mom asked if she never wanted children. My girlfriend replyed "Well not any time soon at least" her mother countered with "well there is no reason to be with a man expect to give you children" my girlfriend then said we were nice and fun to play with and then her mother countered once more with "well real men are not nice they are assholes" then proceeded to call me a pup because i was still nice... and In my mind i started to wonder... When does an asshole make a good man? It seems to me that rash. hot headed assholes were the pettiest of people.. Not really "men". Maybe she meant something about standing up and being an asshole when needed or what ever but how could she say i have not done that at all when it was absolutely necessary? If that is her definition of a "real man" Then I do not want to be a real man. I'd rather stay a boy.
Hard break up
For the past couple of weeks I watched someone go through something very similar to me.. They broke up with a person the really liked. They posted constantly on every post of that person.. Broke down in person and begged for them back. and just felt terrible in general. Seeming with little or no self control on trying to keep himself together or Trying to protect the person they cared for. I very well understand that it is a har struggle. Accepting that they may be better off without you. That they were not happy with you, and that everything that you did for them may have been forgotten or abandoned. But.... It seems i handled it much better... I forced myself to avoid talking to them.. even though it hurt very much.. I had to keep myself from begging and keep myself from making her life a bigger mess my confusing her.. It got so hard not to txt her that i changed her Contact name to "Don't text" or "One week" as in wait at least one week before texting her.. It was a huge struggle but i did it.. and it made me think.... Am i really that strong? or is he that weak? or does he even consider her side of it instead of focusing on his own feelings?
Maybe this is judgmental of me but i cant help but think about it...

Lack of pateints.
Lack
of patients. quick to anger and rashness does not equal strength. To
get angery about Silly Bullshit does not mean you are strong willed it
means you are petty. And dont call others selfish when you clearly are
the most selfish one in the room.
Do not misinterpret what you have as strength when all it is is hot head bullshit!
And on the other end of this... People are not as weak as you think And just because you see a moment of weakness doesn't make them weak. We ALL have these moments. Don't think one moment of weakness and depression defines a person Especially when you Do not know who they truly are. They are some of the strongest people I know. Do not say you are stronger when You have displayed Pettiness and selfishness and all they have been is kind. Maybe they are a little down and out But who are you to judge when You cant seem to let go of baggage that happened Long ago.
Gosh i can believe how... Short sighted, blind, and impatient people can be. By wondering how others can be so selfish in some ways makes you just as selfish if you are asking for pity or something. Other factors are always there besides the ones you see so stop being so judgmental And THINK ABOUT IT
This was my feelings towards a person who was asking for pity and blaming everyone else for being selfish. Despite not understanding other things could be going on.
