in, not of
I thought Christians were supposed to be in the world, but not of it.
Yeah, we all have bad days and stuff, but come on, people... we have so much to be happy about. Why do all the smallest things have to be blown out of proportion. Why does there constantly have to be stress? Why can't people just simply be happy for the sake of being happy?
I feel like I talk about this all the time. Maybe I'm the weird one for just being optimistic 99% of the time, but I honestly don't think that's it. I think we live in in a world that is constantly finding something to grumble about. Something to whine about. Something to stress about. Something to be sad about. But that's not us. We have something so much more. It's true. Life can be down, but let's get real guys... in the end, what really matters?
I wish I could change the fact that happiness is today's minority.
Thankfully, recently (being the last year/months or so), I've found some really really cool new friends that share this thought with me. I'm glad, because some of the friends I have now are just like what I described. I almost feel out of place or uncomfortable when I'm with them, because that's not me. I'm not asking the world to be me. That'd be horrible. Just... stop focusing on yourself and open your eyes. There is so much to be happy about.
Am I (and a couple of my friends) alone?
Cause sometimes I feel that way.
