Perception Is Reality and Reality is False
So… This whole perception is reality thing I agree with. However it also bothers me. Everybody as a story, somewhere they came from. It might be the guy who comes to church who was use to drink all the time, or whoever it may be. Your driving down the street and you see him walk out of a bar… Chances are your going to think man hes drinking again. Fair assumption? I suppose. However it is not fair to that person. Should you make sure? Of course thats not that point. hen do we reach the point in life where we can just be ” normal” without people assuming the worst? I try to give people the benefit of the doubt, however I would still make sure they are ok. What gets me going is when there is someone trying to be nice or do something good, and they are oblivious to anything negative, and just trying to get along and be nice and instantly they assume the worst. I have to admit I am also guilty of this… What is it in out nature that almost wanted to assume the worst? We may say oh no of course not… but deep inside do we crave that drama and just hope you can be right? Who knows. I wish i could go back to the people who I have wrongly accused and apologize, but I cannot, all I can do is not continue to assume the worst in people. I want to encourage those of you who might be in place where they feel as thought they cant do anything right, and tell you to focus on God… Sounds cliche, but sometimes we need to not think about everyone else and just focus on him… Maybe be more sensitive to the situations we put ourselves in. Maybe totally innocent to us, but before you do or say something think quick how this can be perceived by others… May suck right then, because you cant do something fun or nice, but in the long run it will benefit both. Heres a little ummm… not a poem but a little thing that I have been thinking…
I will do great things…I wont give in to fear or hurt but I will do great things…I wont be discouraged by the words or actions of others because I will do great things…I sway to the left and the right, and swagger in my feelings…But I will do great things…I will do great things..I will do great things in God.
