My pet peeves..
Since I am human, I myself like all of us has flaws, including the limit on acceptance, tolerance to other's acts, views and ways they lived their life. Not that I am too much affected though I try not to mingle or associate myself with them, to cut it short, I alienated myself to these kind of people. Just my POV though, BTW this is my blog eh? I’m entitled to posting my sentiments here.
1. People who are after material things - Our God wanted us of course to live our life in a comfortable way, not to suffer much if we can, but live a life that is livable, we can aspire to become rich but not on the point that these things owns us. We own them for our use, and for other's as well but not the other way around. What is with having 2-3 cell phones, everyday salon, having lots of money, come on these things will surely pass. What's worst in here is you already have many things (I mean really good, expensive things) and then you are still envying on things that other owned? That’s madness for sure.
2. People who are insensitive - loving material things makes you insensitive. How? You tend to brag everything you have, using the material possession you have just to show to others, you're something and that you tower above them.
3. People who do labeling - Who are we to put labels on defining what other's life is? If she/he is dark and not so pretty/handsome she's/he is poor? And dumb? If someone came from a public school, does this mean he/she is poor? And dumb too? Remember that Jesus came from a humbled family; he's father was a carpenter. He didn’t come from a royal family like kings but still he has a lot more to offer, and to give. I hope that those people who fall in this category take a time off and do some reflections. Who are we to judge and label them as this and that? God alone can do that.
I still have many more to say but these kinds of people really annoys me. I am having a hard time accepting and understanding them. However, if I think this way, I do fall also in the category of #3 right? And I don’t want that. I need to find a way to learn to understand and to accept them. I just prayed that God would give me inspiration and a gift of acceptance. Maybe, maybe become an instrument for them to be changed.
