The Battle against Pettiness
Mood:  don't ask
Topic: sanctify~

-sigh-
-sad isn't it? how people get stuck in their same irritations over such little things... I am guilty of this, as well as others that I know (who I won't mention for now)

but we're intelligent beings, aren't we?
-and we know what's good for us and what's not?
-and what's right and what's wrong, but then again, knowledge alone doesn't save anyone...

so what does this mean for me or for other people for that matter?

I know that I fight against this (and don't always win- sometimes I have resentment and anger over things that are really insignificant and petty) -sigh- it's not pretty. I feel sorry for my little brother, he faces this too, but I don't know if he's taking the right course of action...

we need to deal with and bear our problems well
not to complain and whine (I'm not saying that this is what he always does, I'm saying that this is something to avoid- yuck, I do this sometimes too- I don't want to though. ick!)

-often we make our problems seem worse than they truly are by complaining about them and wishing for things to be the way we want them to be.

I know I can deal with things even if the situation isn't ideal, and I've been through many stressful and irritating things- why haven't I gotten better at dealing with them? -Actually, I take that back, I have improved some... I will pray that I continue to do so, and for my beloved little brother to do the same- and I'll pray for you too.

-Daiko~
(just wanted to get this thought out,
and I still could use lots and lots of prayer.)
(I could clarify this, but I'm going to eat dinner now- I think I'll be cooking chicken for tomorrow's meals... yum!)
