Conversations
My friend, it was great meeting you up.
Thank you for your sharing and honest words of struggle.
You are becoming real.
No more system to tell you how you should behave, no more fanciful display of emotions, no more wearing of masks.
No one to tell you how lousy you are, no one to tell you that you should get rid of your flaws and become like them, no one to tell you that you are faithless because you are different from them.
No more struggling with the rhetoric, no more giving of your life to maintain the status quo.
No, you have not become cynical -- you have been set free to live your life as a Christian.
Struggle has refined you, and you have grown up, my friend.
Go enjoy life, make friends, find a girlfriend (and settle down soon!), hang out with the 'sinners', catch up with old friends, watch a movie, pursue your hobbies, call me up for a wine/Margaretta/vodka session.
Live life dude and "away with the hypocrites" (as someone famous puts it heh).
And as how we ended our conversation, if anyone comes up to you and tells you:
1. to 'repent' and adhere to their way of life as the only supreme way
2. to become someone who you are not in order to be accepted
3. to chain yourself down, denying the humanness and frailty of your existence
our reply, itself which will thunder down the ears of the so-called 'puritans' would be...
Up yours!
