haven’t been able to sleep for the past few nights..
the more i live, the more i am convinced of the frailty of human relationships. i guess when they say you have to choose your friends wisely, it’s not really meant to just protect us from ill-tempered, manipulative, selfish, greedy, inconsiderate, proud, self-absorbed and indifferent people.
it’s probably meant to protect us from people.
because without god, the concept of love and friendship is absolutely flawed on it’s own. it seems as if to be human is to be absolutely incapable of love.
and so sitting here typing and considering the above premise, i ask myself: how many people do i know, though imperfect as they may be, are grounded in god’s word enough to still be able to love genuinely? as a selfless, sacrificial act?
perhaps only one. (i must be the most fortunate man in the world.. thank you baby.)
are we genuine christians? or are we genuine hypocrites? i think we can only be one or the other..
sigh. okay. done ranting. maybe i can manage some sleep now.

rest well, brother..
baby i’m so touched that you would consider me.. but even i have my [many many!] selfish moments. i think we’ll always be part hypocrites despite trying to be genuine christians because we’ll never be perfect.. even peter ‘the rock’ thrice denied the Christ whom he so fervently declared he would never betray!
have faith in others as well as yourself okay? *hug* we’ll keep trying to be the best we can together.
see you soon dear.
