i never used to absorb the truth that it indeed is a small world after all. through a child's eyes, the world is a huge playpen, and there are endless possibilities and chances to correct mistakes, just as long as mommy or daddy has the physical and financial capability to attend to you. the focus is on what you can get, how to make yourself happiest, and barely (if at all) taking into consideration how your actions will impact the world.
now, however, i increasingly recognize the erroneous nature of this narcissistic tendency, and the need to really give thought to anything carried out. a blunder is not necessarily the outcome of any executed pondering, but you still really have to watch yourself, especially in this small circle. Christians know there is no one to live up to other than the Creator, yet maintaing a reputable status is still essential if you are to get anywhere. after all, to live otherwise - unrighteously - is basically betraying the gift of life He has given.
ah, 'tis the realization that the process of growing up cannot and should not be stagnated in any way. yes, the light is on upstairs.
