This is What I Have to Say to the World

"You sit on a throne of lies."
It is often used facetiously, but is something I find myself yelling at the world as of late.
(Yelling in my head, that is...)

But too often we point out the world's faults before we admit our own. Thus, I will own up to some before ranting. First of all, I started that sentence back there with a conjunction. Sorry.

Also, I apologize for any time that I've been fake with someone. Whether it was to make them have a higher opinion of me, bolster my sense of security, or as a form of blowing them off so that they could not actually get to know me. I am working on this problem. Sometimes, it is just so much easier to play a part than to be myself. That must be why I ended up as a drama major. I am already so good at acting.

That being said, I will now rant.
I hate it when people are dishonest about their intentions towards me, or when their intentions towards me are dishonest. Do you not think that I can see through your lies or manipulations? I've committed the same, or at least similar, indecencies. They are as recognizable when you are committing them as when they are committed against you.
This is why I don't trust you, world.
You are the throne of lies.

  1. Well put my friend! I love that as followers of Christ we are called to be in the world, but NOT of it :)

  2. Thanks Steffy!
    Sarah, it's so true! Whenever I hear those words, I think of Avalon's "In Not Of." Such a great song, even though it's a little cheesy.
