Faith I believe things have been lost along the way. �Do not kill� is now �do not kill without good reason�. And I suppose that when a very conflicted someone points a gun at your mother�s head, and you have the opportunity to end his life and save your mother�s�that edit �without good reason� suddenly makes sense. But it shouldn�t. The situation of a man trying to kill a fellow man doesn�t make sense�and that�s why dealing with it in a senseless manner makes sense. That doesn�t mean that �do not kill� is not valid. The beautiful things don�t fit in an ugly place. But just because they don�t fit, it doesn�t mean they aren�t beautiful. I believe in them. I believe in them even though they aren�t understood and they aren�t functional. I believe in them even though right now I feel like they are exactly the reason I won�t succeed here. Some people are critiscized for only praying when they're in need. I'm only ever thankful when things are going well. When they aren't I'm suddenly less interested in being spiritual. So I've decided that now I'm low--but I don't have to be proud. I believe in the pretty things, I believe in the pretty things, I believe in the pretty things and I promise I'll never stop. |
