What Are People Thinking These Days?
People have become so strangley crazy in their behavior lately. Just the other day, I was sitting in front of WalMart waiting on someone, and I was shocked at all of the parking lot behavior I saw. There was one guy who was wanting to turn into a lane that was headed the other direction, and was impatiently waiting for everyone to clear out of his way so he could go down that lane. In anger, he peeled out and went the right way. It's as if people don't read or care or both anymore. People are constantly parking in the Handicapped areas that are in excellent health, while the handicapped people have to park even further away. People are also parking in places that aren't parking places, especially the walkways for pedestrians. And what's worse is that the authorities don't do anything about it. They say they can't, but they can! What's the point of enforcing rules if no one's going to follow them or enforce them? It's just like I've heard before, "Locks aren't just there to prevent theifs from getting in, but honest people from getting out."

The Power of Lies
Lies are a powerful thing, whether small or large. You tell a lie, then you have to tell another one to cover it up, and then you have a snowball effect. Lies do nothing but get someone in trouble, whether it's you later or someone else.
Can you imagine what it would be like to admire someone so much and follow what they say because they are so powerful in their opinion, and then one day you discover that they really didn't believe what they were saying? All that time spent following that person, just to find out they were lying for some sick reason. That could ruin someone quickly. For example, (not personally), let's say that someone is preaching about his religion. Let's say this someone has been doing so since he was 4. He became a fairly famous pastor over the years, and drew in big crowds to all the churches he had been preaching at and then when he was in his late 30's to early 40's, he told everyone that it had all been a hoax. He didn't believe a word that he was preaching. Several people that followed him began to wonder what to do since they had been so devoted to a liar. See how messed up lying can be?
Tell the truth.

Life is Better on the Other Side of the Opinion
Day by day I come across people who put on a mask for someone who is present, and then remove it when they leave. I witness the lies and deception that people spread about someone when he or she isn't there. It only makes me wonder if I fall under the same category, either as the liar or the deceived. I do my best to catch myself talking about someone else when they aren't there and I usually don't because it's wrong, but it IS difficult. I have to go by the fact that I see people do this, so it probably means they do it to me as well. Even though those people may do it, doing it back isn't going to help anything.
The other day someone (who people make fun of constantly and see as a crime to speak to) came by and asked me if I could help them with something. I responded, "sure" and did. When I came back, someone else in the room asked me why on earth I would do something like that. That made me irate because it's not fair for everyone to mistreat someone. It's as if they don't give that person a chance to prove who they can be. I don't know if it's because they just don't want to take the time to help that person or if it's just because they don't care, but one person helping that one person takes too long, and sometimes it's too late.
All I'm saying is that we should be more careful about what we say and be less swift to judge someone, especially without a chance. Even if that person does make some mistakes, it doesn't hurt to still try and focus on the positive aspects of that person, because there's always a chance to bring that person back with enough time and hope.
Just try it.
