I recently heard a story about this kid who has brain damage. He had a traumatic birth and is at the moment almost completely deaf. He is apparently reallllllllly brilliant and pretty awesome from what i've heard. But his parents are getting a divorce. My heart jumped into my throat and I had to swallow it back down. This is so painful to write because someone, some kid I don't even know is in pain because of stuff that happened to him earlier on in life. And his parents are getting a divorce because of their problems. I get so fed up with the parents of my friends when they fight. I get mad at my parents when they fight. Why, you ask? You might say that it's natural. Or it's because something is wrong. Or because they married the wrong person and this is how they figure things out. I don't care. Arguments are completely pointless. Fighting solves nothing. It always ends up in someone getting hurt. No matter what happens fighting always ends up with someone getting hurt. Look at war. People will die. Hopes will be crushed. Everyone comes out bruised no matter who has the upper hand.
Abraham Lincoln said ~ "I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends"
We should pause our lives and shutup our selfishness. Burn it to the ground. Why can't anyone see that selfishness and self-absorption is the biggest problem in the world? As a Christian it's our goal to be as humble and meek as possible so that other can take our example. I hope that one of my Christian brothers and sisters influence that kids parents to be selfless. Divorcing the problems we have is not a solution. It helps in the moment. But in the long run it screws a whole lot up than you see at the moment. Selfishness = Bad. Selflessness = Good. Love is a huge step in being humble. So love. Ask Jesus for help. And pray that our self absorption can be destroyed.

I hear a bird as it whispers in my ear
It says oh what a waste of time,
Look how you live your life,
Trying to show no fear.
I see a man as he sits along on the street
He holds a sign that begs for love
His mind is so messed up
That he can’t even think.
So in this big world you gotta’ keep your head straight
Take baby steps and you’ll get there some day.
So y-o-y would I just let my life be a waste,
A bag of bones, a waste of space
And how oh how did you think to wait til now if you want to fix this place
I smell the scent of greed that makes us dwell
We’re always at each others necks, trying to be the best
Looking out for ourselves
I feel like we’ve lost touch with what’s real
With our heads stuck up in the clouds, only living for now
Tell me what’s the deal
So in this big world you gotta’ keep your head straight
Take baby steps and you’ll get there some day.
So y-o-y would I just let my life be a waste,
A bag of bones, a waste of space
And how oh how did you think to wait til now if you want to fix this place
So y-o-y would I just let my life be a waste,
A bag of bones, a waste of space
And how oh how did you think to wait til now if you want to fix this place
