kill me with kindness.

Dear Emos, Punks, Preps, Wannabe's, Goths, Sluts, Jocks, Loners, Hicks, Hippies, Surfers, MOD's, Nerds, Geeks, SceneKids, Artists, Skaters, Gangsters, Hipsters, Hardcore kids and Bandgeeks,

STOP!


We are all beautiful human beings, not animals. We’re not to be categorized as if we were a breed of dog.

No matter who you are, or what the "rules" of you subculture/social group(s) are; you all know it's wrong when you judge someone by their looks, and by their actions.

don't judge them at all.
just love them.
no matter what they do to you.
be the bigger person.

you know, often the best thing to do is to kill someone with kindness. no matter what they do, it is not your place, nor mine to judge them. what right do we have to judge them? For if we were to judge them, we would be absolute hypocrites. We all mess up. We all sin. We all are different in our own way. So, whether it's your looks, actions, speech or the people you hang out with, that's yours and God's deal. not mine. Yes, I may offer input at your request. but I have absolutely no right to judge you, and vice versa. I understand that it is human nature, and no matter what, there will always be gossip, drama and judgment. but, we could and really should control it better.

Lately, I've heard people gossiping more than they used to, or so it seems. I either overheard or they were telling me the gossip, I assume they were trying to converse in gossipblahtalk, but I wanted no part of it. Because I now try to think before I talk. and in no way am I perfect at that, many a times something has come out of my lips and I didn't realize till after everyone in the room had heard it, that it was rather hurtful. So, you help me, please. Keep me accountable. Minimize the judgment.


This is the only judgment that I try to think about; Judgment. The final trial of all people, both the living and dead, at the end of the world.

meaning, judgment day, when God judges us all by our actions, sins, speech, faith, unfaithfulness. everything.


I tell you, on the Day of Judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
—Matthew 12:36-37


And I don't think anyone could say it better.

c'mon, this is pretty basic guys. Anyone remember the golden rule? 'Treat others as you would like to be treated.' Yeah, I like that. It’s not that hard to remember. It might take some time getting used to actually applying that to your life. But practice, practice, practice! :)
practice makes perfect, right? hah.

All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.
-Matthew 7:12



Also, another thing, do you live in a fantasy world? I shall not judge you for this, because I live in one as well. Although I imagine mine is a bit different than yours. Mine consist of never-ending beautiful acoustic music, the melodious voice of a certain someone at such a volume that you could hear it in the background. But it's not really drowning out the words we say. That perfect volume.


It frustrates me when I hear people talking about such spurious things.

Who cares if Jessica Simpson had her breast enhanced?! I don't.

Do you care that the Jonas Brothers have girlfriends?! I certainly do not.

Do you care that Kevin Jonas is talking about proposing to his long-time girlfriend?! Well, I do not. because it doesn't concern me, unless I'm a friend of the Jonas's or of that long-time girlfriend named whatsherface.

Now, I'm not saying every time you open your mouth I'd like to hear deep theological debates flying off of your tongue. but, I'd like to converse about something that actually matters. for once. please. Something about love, hope, God, beauty, music, art, books etc etc etc. I mean, seriously. so, Lohan is gay. FINALLY, Duff has something over her!
uhh, what?
how is that going to help you in your life?
I've got news for you; it won't.

seriously, gossip about photo shopped celebrities all day long. I'd rather not. but that's your choice. but when it comes to people that you know, and supposedly love. watch the words.

Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
Ecclesiastes 5:2
