sixty.five.

hey.
something that i find rankling
is that someone who says that they believe in the same God that i do
find themselves locked in their own world
surrounded by goodness
and happiness
and farce.

because
hey.
take a look at reality.
i'm sorry, but i just find myself thinking
that if you believe as i believe
shouldn't we
OPEN OUR EYES
?
i don't suggest or presume to say
that we should find ourselves locked and linked
immersed
in a world of sin.
but would it be so terrible to recognize?
to seek to understand?
to try and see our role in it?
and not a role that means sticking only with those who believe exactly as we do
but a role that means being willing to sacrifice comfort
and ease
and step outside of some box we put ourselves in?
it seems like i know people
/have met people
/have read books by people
who find it decent to cut themselves off.

well anyhow. i don't know where this came from.
it sort of crossed my mind.
i just think it's odd to be ignorant about things you disagree with
or with truths that are difficult to handle.
oh poop.
