We Never Change
Posted at 1:10 PM
I was goin to write about a specific experience (feeding the homeless) but then I realized that our whole lives are one big experience... so I was in the mood to write about something different :/
People never change... there comes a point in one's life where it's too late to teach you new tricks. Some though have the ability to learn and renew themselves irregardless of age. Sometimes it's God, sometimes it's a near death encounter, sometimes it's a simple change of scenery that can cause a person to rethink who they are and what they believe in. But humans are creatures of habit and breaking old habits requires will power, and in my opinion, help from The Almighty.
Lately some of the people I care about most have not been trying very hard to break ol' habits. Instead it seems like they embrace them and feel happy in their own lil bubbles. My reply to their actions has been prayer and a certain degree of separation from those people. But in there lies my dilema. When you trully love a friend(s) you technically shouldn't cast them to the wayside, but the truth is the habits of this person(s) aren't very beneficial to their spiritual lives nor to anyone else around them. The good book says be wary of gossip and other harmful actions with our tongues but what can a man do except for prayer? I have already tried tellin the person(s) to be careful of their actions, but they persist in doing what they want.
I feel as if people really never do change in the end... they choose to believe in things but never really commit to making themselves better humans. Therefore I now feel as if I am in MY OWN lil bubble... but GOD always has a purpose for these things. I just hope my friends can realize thier own purposes.

What are some of the reasons people are so stubborn????
