Wednesday

It has been awhile since writing anything remotely philosophical or thoughtful... mostly because my brain seems to be occupied with stupidity as of late...

So here we go:



Who you are is not really related to what you struggle with.

I guess it really relates to that saying: hate the sin, not the sinner. Its sort of a dumb saying, but it is true, and I think people do not take it seriously enough.

I think so often that we struggle with things and we let them consume us. (That, in and of itself, shows that they are not the same thing by the fact that they CAN consume us) And when our brains cannot stop thinking about whatever it is, we start to think that those things are a part of us, and that they ARE us.

But they aren't. And it is so incredibly hard to remember that.

I think part of the key to conquering our sins and our struggles is to keep in mind that they have no business being in our lives at all... let alone duping ourselves into thinking that they are part of us.




Sigh... today is not a good philosophical day. I am grading, talking online, listening to music, thinking about leaving for class, lamenting the misplacement of my cell phone, and writing this.

I will have to continue it later when I can focus.
