Darkness and Light = Mutually exclusive.

Got a chance to meet another group of people I seldom meet. Those who know what's like to earn for themselves because they wouldn't ask for $ from their parents. People who claims smoking makes them run faster, breathe better and makes them more awake. They are people who understand what's being lonely in life. They are the ones who felt betrayed, got backstabbed and moved on. I talked with them just now... It's a new sight to life.

They were complaining how difficult is it to live with reality while picturing a total image in their dreams, and just so often they have to do cope with this in their relationships. They didn't understand why they get together with a guy they like and each trying hard to change another to becoming like own self. Basically they didn't know how to cope with the differences which comes in between them and always find themselves quarrelling over those tiny issues. "Hot heads, cold hearts never solve anything." Pastor Billy said that.

They are negative about people around them, about marriage, about friendship, about bringing up children. But I'm quite impressed by the fact they still are treating their friends very well! I tried injecting some positive testimonies here and there to prove that all they've experienced are not all that this planet can provide. There's a brighter side to life. And know what they say? They say that I have this kind of hope and positive thinking because I always get to see the best of life because I'm a christian. I go church, not clubs. Thus people I see, meet, know are different. THEN COME TO CHURCH! -..- Make your life positive! Isn't it simple?

Then I walked home thinking, why do christians have to look for christians? Be it being marriage partners, business partners or any relationships you can think of, christians feel comfortable together. Why? I thought mainly because christians share the same focus... That focus draws us to work together towards the same goal. No matter how different are our values, they wouldn't go the different direction. Then the minor gaps of difference will be bridged by love and all the other characteristics. That's why we didn't come to try to change, we come to try to learn from each other, trusting each other because of that similar focus.

Well, you may say chirstians fail each other too. It's not all nice and rosy. YOU'RE RIGHT MAN! Haven't you see how we quarrel? How church members meet in court to settle lawuits? And how couples divorce? Christians are also humans struggling to give up selfish demands to try please others. And that not always we can do that. But, but, but, but... Real christians will "wake up" when God's being placed up front. Because as mentioned, He's the focus. When He is lifted up between 2 debators, everyone shuts up. When He is presented among 2 fighters, everyone quits fighting for themselves. And believe it or not, then we move on, many a times without even the need to SOLVE the problem. When He appears, everything dissolves. But that can only be possible between 2 REAL christians.

And sometimes this becomes so good that you find it hard to be true.
Ok, I'm off the point.
But hope you got my point.
Not that off point, but my real point.
