I used to have this old LiveJournal blog that I blogged in for a while. Well, today I went back to those old posts, and they surprised me. I forgot about some of the stuff that I wrote about, so the next few posts will be about my more insightful posts in 2005.
Title: Discipline
“Its not that no one has it (seemingly), but its that no one uses it in cooperation with common sense and self control. There was recently a kid in my English class who was posing as another kid, so the other kid would not be marked absent. Does this kid have disciple? Probably. Common Sense and Self control? Absolutely. Did he use them together as a guide? Definently Not. Why would someone have all of these tools in life and not use them? Granted there are those who are uneducated and don’t know right from wrong, but this and a majority of the others are not this case. This is a human who takes what God gives them and throws it away. I, at all times am not perfect. In fact, about a month ago, I just walked out of class with another student while the teacher was doing something and was oblivious to all but what she was grading at one of the back tables. At this time was I doing what I should have? No I wasn’t. There are a few instances like this where I will go out of character and do something irrational, though that is not often. Thus here is my question of the day. How do you define “out of character” the person develops their own character according to what they have been taught. How do we know what our own characters are? How can one be truly sure?”
This post surprised me tonight when reading it. I completely forgot about what had happened 2 years ago, and my line of thinking, though it is starting to come back. This is just food for thought. I don’t have anything to add to this post. It just fits with the events in my life right now.
