Different Colours

I like chewing gum, and when I do, I try to avoid looking like a cow.

Points noted from the comments on the previous post.


Drew: "Maybe you won't get admitted into heaven, but you sure as hell will give someone a chance of dreaming of one."

Jess: "I think helping the poor is awesome.but it's so important to see them as fellow human beings too..like you said, you have to show them love..after all that's what it's abt isn't it?"

Var: "but it is even worse for the person who helped, his conscience forbares from commiting an act of righteousness, his conscience is inundated by inconsiderate gain in the strata of the status quo. But yes... as Paul sas, it is by grace you have been saved and not by works. works is the vindication of salvation."

Ah well.
I like chewing gum.
I don't like hypocrites. I pity the disillusioned. There's a lot to life. If you could put a single person's thoughts of an hour into a bowl, that bowl would be really interesting.
A lot of rubbish gets written online *looks around*

Hehe.

While having my breakfast this morning I browsed through a newsletter which had ‘connecting with World Mission’ as its tagline.
It made me sick. The whole paper reeks of neo-imperialism cum oh-those-poor-deprived-bas****s-of-the-Third-world.
Glossy photographs of ‘the good work’ and smiles galore, article headlines such as “…Teaching English. Tarantulas. Diarrhoea. No toilet roll.” No toilet roll?! Boo fucken hoo.
I’ve nothing against the idea of people leaving the comfort of their homes to go and help some street kid or diseased 80 year old thousands of miles away.
However, when such work is done by people who are out to ‘do good’ just cuz it’s part of being a good Christian, or out of some idealistic moralist high ground, then it pisses me off.
If you go around doing good deeds so you can fill your moral kitty with shining examples, then you don’t deserve heaven. You’re a scheming, selfish idiot.
If you go out to help in someplace where you don’t have the facilities of where you came from, shut up about the lack of amenities. You made a choice.
The world has its dark areas. The people living in them are not stupid. They are the way they are because of a host of causes: of their own making and of the doings of others. It doesn’t take a person who wears gloves while helping them to show them that there is a better life. Love does show them the way, and those who work with a genuine heart have my gratitude. But, most of the time, the ones being helped already knew about a better world long before they even saw a clean faced stranger reaching out to help them.
