Rivka Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 ...do things differently from me? Do you think they just don't understand that my way is easy and superior, or is it more that their values are corrupt? I see people all the time when I'm out and about. Some of them make choices very similar to mine, and you can tell that those people have a special radiance that everyone is drawn to. It really makes me wonder about the ones who don't do the same things I do. Should I pity them or feel contemptuous? Just looking for some input here... I genuinely want to understand.

MamaSheep Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Oh no, honey, you've got it all wrong, bless your heart. It's because you have not yet recognized the error of YOUR ways. You are drawn to people who do things like you because corruption calls to corruption, and the sooner you come to your senses and turn to the truth the happier you will be. Once you realize how terribly, terribly deceived you have been you will long to be like your betters who you now mistakenly regard with pity or contempt. I sincerely hope you will soon come to genuinely understand and mend your wicked ways. I will pray for you. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivka Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I don't get why some people are sounding offended, and calling me judgmental? :confused::confused::confused: I was trying to just stick to the facts, and not bring personal judgment into things. Tone is hard to read on the Internet (thank you, momoflaw!), so maybe it sounded like I was kind of full of myself. I assure you that nothing could be further from the truth. I am literally the most humble, modest person you will ever meet. Ever. I am famous for never thinking of myself. Famous for it. Maybe some of you are feeling defensive, because you've done things differently from me in the past, and that makes it hard for you to hear about the superiority of my way. :grouphug: I understand.

Obviously it's because they are ill-informed. Perhaps if you took it upon yourself to educate those random strangers they would find their place in the shadow of your brilliance. Of course, if you are non-controversial you could create a poll on an unrelated message board to find out what other random strangers think about your encounters with your circle of random strangers. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
