Dealing with the Trite.

Ever had that day when you know if someone does one more little thing that irks you off, you are going to just flip out? Like a volcano of emotions about to erupt on the pedestrians climbing its base. Dealing with the trite can be easy at first, but as time moves along, it almost feels like its too hard to contain.

I feel like I've been disrespected too many times, and it's time for vengeance. Well, that's a terrible idea on my part because there are many things that are pointless to get angry about: people who cut in front of you, the guy who chews too loud, rogue unicorns, the guy who holds the pound key on your phone for a really long time, that person who doesn't respond even though they've answered the last 3 you've sent, and the like.

Sure, it'd be easy to just whack them upside the head for doing something that's annoying, but there's many things in my life that I know annoy others with. Getting upset over little things won't get you far in life, but it will give you a black eye (not from experience).

So don't throw a hissy fit when your co-worker, roommate, or student group member does something (alot) that gets under your skin. You wanna know why? Because Jesus could've punched about 300 Pharisees in the face during ministry, but restraint. Being a Christian is about becoming more like Jesus; game, set, match. Better yet, heap burning coals upon their heads by baking them something delicious. That's what the Bible says to do.

Smell ya later,
Sam.
