Random Thoughts

The world swells with the weight of our pain

It gives and gives while we take and take

We take and take and take

With no thought of what that really means

Without thought of mistake

Without a greater sense of purpose or destiny

What shall I consume today? we ask

How shall I satisfy my waning inclinations? we wonder

We yell and scream and throw our little temper tantrums

Wondering why no one is listening

Why nobody cares

Forgetting that they are hopelessly consumed by their own desires

To be concerned with our complaints

Meanwhile the rocks cry out with anticipation

And the world swells with the weight of our pain

Words.

It's been a while since my last post, but I've been thinking a lot about words and how they can be so empty but, at the same time, can be so powerful. I was watching this video on YouTube called Words. and it reminded just how what we say to other people can seriously affect them and can even change they way they think about themselves, about others, and ultimately about God. I think that we (especially me) forget that and find ourselves saying whatever comes to mind and oftentimes, as a result, we say a lot of hurtful things even when we don't always mean to. Think about what you say to others and how that deeply affects them. Who knows, maybe you can actually make a big difference in one person's life.
