Consider just a few examples. We’re told that the current pandemic is a “fake.” That things are getting better. Yet, when you look at the figures, the outbreak
is spreading faster, more cases are popping up in more locations, more people
are having to go to the hospital, and a greater number are dying from the
virus. How can anyone look at these
statistics and not believe that the pandemic is not only real, but is getting
worse and not better? That’s confusing!
How can someone want better conditions in
their life, wanting to improve the conditions they are currently living under,
but they continue to do the same things they’ve always done and yet expect to
get different results? Continuing to do
the same negative things and thinking things are going to come out better if
you do them often enough is nothing but foolishness. It’s like continuing to plant apple seeds in
your orchard expecting that one day an orange tree is going to grow. That’s confusing!
It’s a lot like saying you have faith and
yet your daily actions and coarse of life show that you really don’t believe in
what you are saying. Faith without works
is dead! You must have actions that positively
support the things you believe in. You
can sit in your favorite chair and believe that the ceiling light is going to
come on. You can believe that all you
want, but if you don’t get up and turn on the light switch there is going to be
NO light! To think
otherwise is crazy. That’s confusing!
Reminds me of a time a number of years ago
we had a bad blizzard in the area. It
was about four foot of snow with drifts up to seven or eight feet depending upon
where you were in the city. We were
trapped in our homes for a couple of days until we could dig out. The local radio DJ got trapped at the radio
station overnight. I guess to help in
the storm reporting he continued to broadcast all night. The next morning all streets were impassible
and nothing was able to open! Some guy
(I think to try and impress his boss) called the radio station and told the DJ
that if he could have somebody from the City come by and clear his alley, he would
be able to get to work!
This was confusing! But the DJ came back with a very wise reply. He said: “You can believe in the Easter Bunny
and you can believe in Santa Claus. You
can also believe that someone is coming by and clear your alley, but it AIN’T
going to happen!”
Many of us become confused by many
things. I guess to some degree we just
have to chalk it up to the fact that we’re only human!
QUOTE TO CONSIDER
"Challenge assumptions,
test all possibilities,
but never be confused about the truth!"
