It's hard to live for truth


It just crossed my mind how we can be contented with our lives right now and say we're happy.

I've done so much things not for myself and i can say that i am tired and i want to satisfy myself this time.

I want to demand a reward for all the voluntary good i've done.

I want to rest. I want to stop.

I want to please myself longer than this.

...

but i can't

who am i to say that what i've done is enough?

who am i to specify what reward i must get?

who am i?

...

I am a son who watches my prodigal siblings enjoy their wealth

I am a servant who serves and gets paid with promises

I am a civilian who suffers in justice

...

I lack faith

I envy people

I dream of earthly pleasure

...

I pray.

Help me Master.

Dare You To Move

by Swtich Foot


Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next?
What happens next?

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before

Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
The tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened

Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here

I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself
Lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Deteriorating Pearly Whites

Flying Gumballs

Who knows that a tooth can totally deteriorate when put in a glass of coca-cola? Yes, that's true.

Nice white tooth put somewhere it isn't supposed to be in.

Watch it deteriorate? Watch a nice thing go to waste? Or save it?

Value/Valuable and Truely Good.


I learned the difference of those two today.

Value/Valuable: Has no concrete and immediate result (to add to that no one will ever see the result).

Truely Good: Valuable because it has a LEGITIMATE result.

For these two differences, we live in a world where the morality of the consequences reign. Meaning we do something good just because there is an immediate symbol that shows that what we do is really good. For example, we study hard because we get good grades; thus, we make our parents proud and happy.

So, the question faced before us is, "Will we do something good when no one will ever get to see the fruits of your goodness (not even you)?" (Are you willing to wait for heaven to judge you and give you your reward? what if there is no heaven?)

Conversely, "Why not commit injustice when the result of that act will never be seen by anyone?" (Are you willing to live the evil life and live luxuriously; and wait for hell to condemn you? What if there is no hell?)

Socrates said, "IT IS BETTER TO SUFFER IN JUSTICE THAN TO COMMIT INJUSTICE."

Hildebrand adds, "for COMMITING INJUSTICE is a violation to VALUE."

What do you say? What do you do? What next?

I am not sorry

Only a dead man would not fall for her.

I did not know that the game I was playing should have been over long before i thought i was winning.

I was fighting for a great prize.

I gave her gifts of pleasure.

...But you should be sorry.

You made her wander.

You were wandering too.

... You should be thankful.

She chose to go back.

She is safer with you.

...

I don't know you.

I am not your friend.

I don't want to respect you but I have to.

...

Watch what you say; watch what you do...
