What do you do when someone is too stubborn and stupid to see what he/she is getting him/herself into and he/she won't listen to anyone around him/her?! It's so difficult living with these kind of people around you. You want to help, you really do but what can you do if every time you try you get pulverized to the pulp by a tsunami of emotions. The only thing left to do is just to try not to generate your own tsunami of vengeance and watch as those people keep crashing. Crashing, full speed ahead. Wall after wall after wall until they break. Are we suppose to throw ourselves in front of them to try and soften the impact?
Writing out your negative emotions does get it off your chest. But, it also gets you into a slump, a cycle of negativity. Writing positive thoughts just masks your true emotions. Not write at all and the negativity just creeps into you and eventually consume you until you turn out "emo" as they say.
'speak the truth in love' - when you've spoken God's truth, and spoken it in love, and they won't listen to God's truth, don't stop loving them. keep loving on them. they might not listen to your words, but they'll listen to your love. and keep praying for them. maybe one day, they'll see how much you love them and see - maybe not listen to you - but they'll one day see that you just want the best for them. what do you think our parents do? haha.
ReplyDeleteand the second part? i say, just write. let out your thoughts. =) i like hearing them. and i'd like to hear them more often. =D
and sorry for the bluntness. it's 1AM almost.. and yeah. =)
Sometimes it just feels like i'm parenting and I'm definitely not in the position to do that nor am I ready to be one 0.o I don't wanna spill my guts out and write pages and pages. Firstly, i don't have the attention span to do that. Secondly, if I do write that much.....well i won't. To be honest, i hate reading long posts. I just don't like reading that much in general :P
