A blogpost of mine, since I can't afford an upgraded account at this time.

First Impressions Should Last Longer.
We as humans are put on this earth for a purpose. To love one another and care for each other in a way that words cannot explain. Life can be short and painful. Regret is not an option. Mistakes are made but not forgotten. Life is a lesson that never stops teaching us for a minute something new about who we are. Every person has power. But each person uses that power in unique and separate ways.

What gives us the right to judge people solely on habits or personality, and come to such demeaning conclusions?

God. But he also created everyone equal, yet so differently. This is how I feel. My belief in God is a very powerful thing, although most of you will never hear me utter a word on the subject. I have come to find it a touchy subject.

I wonder about people a lot. The reasoning God chose to, rather than make total peace and harmony, allow people to judge, hate, and have such passion in these evil things.

I, for one, try not to judge someone on their habits. As a person with a few of my own bad habits, I realize that I might be judged by others at any time. One word, one movement, and you are determined to have "character flaws", or "annoying habits" so on and so forth.

Its a shame really. For people to make haste with judgment, and to lose out on real potential. Real relationships with real souls who deserve it. Judgment ruins a lot of things. An innocent man could be sentenced to death. A teenage girl committing suicide, or in my case, I feel rather deeply about respecting one an others family members. I don't pass quick judgment on people such as that because you learn to grow to love the ones you may have a hard time understanding.

I admit, I am blunt. I feel that if someone has an issue with me, it should be spoken about with me, and only me. Maybe the issue can be resolved, maybe not. But in either case, personal problems are not meant for many mouths. I still see "adults" acting like children, even recently, and it saddens me. I am also confused. What am I supposed to do? I can no longer confront people (even though its the proper and adult thing to do) instead, I should sit on the sidelines and listen to the high school gossip as my only means of communication? Living your life in that manner is going to leave you a very sheltered and uncultured person.

Either way, I still look to God every single day, and it gives me strength in knowing that I can look to Him and forget for one second, the gripes about my life. I become filled with joy with the mere fact that I am alive, and I can move on. I am feeling rather egotistical right now, and although its selfish, I like the feeling. I know who I am inside, and outside for that matter, and I have fought for what I believe in all my life.
