Temptation is...


1. Skipping most your 9am lectures.

2. Putting off finishing a few bars of your chorale-writing project for a few more rounds of Civilization IV.

3. Playing DotA with college mates until 4am when you have orchestra rehearsal from 10am to 9pm the next day.

4. Joining in a bitching session about someone else when you know what being said is untrue, just to fit in and feel accepted.

5. Compromising on your beliefs because it makes you look better in the sight of your friends (especially if you're having a hard time fitting in).

6. Letting true love with someone far away disappear because of the lust of something nearer.

7. Sharing the true story and facts with the world, no matter how embarrassing or hurtful, because it will hurt and destroy the other party even more.

8. Gaining pleasure thinking about number 9.

9. Giving up one or two good friends for a bunch of lousy ones.

10. Giving up one or two good friends after hearing a pack of unproven assumptions (translation: lies).


When will we realize...





Realize...





Real lies.


Consider what you think justice requires, and decide accordingly.  But never give your reasons; for your judgment will probably be right, but your reasons will certainly be wrong.  ~Lord Mansfield

Good decisions come from experience, and experience comes from bad decisions.  ~Author Unknown


Decisions?


Do we sit quietly and let truth prevail in the end, even if there are no perceivable means of the truth ever being exposed?

Do we repay a spiteful attack by returning the compliment and adopting the value system of the spiteful?

"If evil is returned for evil, then evil is propagated and therefore wins!” ~Bobo, anthropologist from outer space

Do we remain bitter and seek revenge, or move on in life?

Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge, I will repay," says the Lord. ~Romans 12:19

Do we worry about what our friends think of us, and fret when they listen to the gossip of others, or trust God to reveal who our true friends are?

Do we dwell on other people's imperfections, or accept them as they are and treat them as equal, unique creations of God?

Do we care about what others think, or about what God thinks?

Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. ~Luke 6:37

And finally,

Do we forgive?







I think i know my decision.







Do I really?







Yes I do.
