I'm so confused.

Life is so filled with joy. When I see her, I feel like I'm flying. When I write about God, I feel purpose. When I do Taekwondo, I feel strong. When I'm with my sisters, I laugh without a care in the world. When I hear a joke from CMRocks, or read a blog by Draconid_jo, it brings a smile to my face. I always brighten up when banjo2 never fails to say 'you're welcome', or 'anytime', no matter how many times I say 'thank you'. I feel filled with life when I read my Bible. I love how the sun always warms my face. I enjoy how I can speak freely about my thoughts, my beliefs, and my problems. I love being alive.

But life is also filled with agony.

The pain of losing a friend. The terror of being betrayed by those whom you love. The fake relationships you thought were real. When everyone jokes about your pain. When the weather makes your body hurt. When your friends fade away. When you read about a murder. When you hear about a school shooting. When your parents call you incompetent, untrustworthy, and lazy. When you lack the strength to pull through. When that voice that once said "We'll make it!" drifts away. When you've done all you think you can do.


Can anyone explain this? Is there anyone who knows why this is the life for man on this Earth?

Are we destined to live in this complicated mess and just go with it? Who is Qualified to give answers here?
I'd say that anyone who lives this life is qualified to give answers.

Because we are all human, we all go through the same things! So stop looking down on others, or exalting others above you! We are all similar beings, believe it or not. The 'black', and the 'white', the short and the tall, the obese, and the starving, the addict, and the drinker, the grumpy neighbor, that one Christian kid, the mean boss, and the kind principal, the worker, and the moms, that nerdy kid at school, and that cool kid at the corner, the guy with the cardboard sign, and the guy in a motel. Can't you see! We're all equal! We all live, and die. What's the point of hurting one another? Is that person's life inferior? Truely, I tell you no. "We all bleed the same"! We are all stuck in the same life. We might as well make it more enjoyable by getting along. But do we see that? No. We call eachother liers, haters, un-human, stupid, and all sorts of degrading names! Do you not feel any shame! If you insult another human being, don't they have the right to insult you back? Would you want that? If you want someone to treat you a certain way, treat them in that same way. Now if someone does insult you, even though you have the right too, don't insult them! Instead, show them kindness, and take the insult joyfully! Perhaps even make a joke about yourself relating to how they insulted you. Maybe it will make them see a new side of you and treat you differently. And that one person you haven't spoken to in a long time because of a disagreement, reach out to them. Be the one to reverse the wrong, even if you feel you did nothing against them. They are human too. What about that one obnoxious ranting guy who you disagree with? Honestly, and respectfully tell that person how you feel about the topic in a non-arguementitive way. Maybe you will show them the truth about the topic, or maybe you will come to a peaceful disagreement. Be the one to stop an arguement from happening.

If you dislike a person, fine. No one can change that view except you. But don't tell that person that. That shame will hang over that person's head until you make it right.

Whenever you see someone has a problem that is uncomfortable to talk about, don't ignore them, or pretend you didn't hear. Instead choose to ask how you can help.

We are all humans. We all live in a twisted world. Let's make it less twisted by joining forces in love. Even two are stronger than one. Those two will set an example and pretty soon you will have abundant loyal friends who you never knew existed untill you reached out, and acted different than the world told you to act.
