Utopian Ideals

I meant to speak my mind of my ideals, of which most people perceived it as naive and childish-dreaming. For by doing what they do, by speaking what they speak, they have often unintentionally insulted me. More often than not, i am tempted to let my passion become a passe; to let the comtemporary world engulf me in its milieu-- of intriguing ideas and rationalizations.All these leading to yearn for the want to avoid the humiliations of being scoffed at; to forget my beliefs and wane in my quest for The Truth. Sometimes, it can be quite so painful to not follow the norms. For you not only face ridicules from without, it gets even more dangerous if it comes from within.

My recent affinity for vulgarities has raised much concern within me. And by vulgarities, i meant not only the language i speak in my head, but also the notions that i carry along with them-- ideas of this worldly filth. It is a matter of choice, and i must not choose that path. As much as my task ahead bears much confusion, I will not turn my head away from it. A person can make me think like i need to change for him, but as long as i remember my lessons from darren, kenneth, elmo, and sister ang; i have a stronger lead-- God's clarity.
Endowed with this faith in the Lord, i will not show my weak knees. And as i have said to someone: "..i am staunch in my own ways...", i know i am God's loyal army.

In case some might raise an eyebrow or two, i must state that i am not trying to proselytize or evangelize anyone. I am merely reflecting and reminding myself of what i already know. Whether you choose to agree with me, it's your choice. I have no qualms if you object them.
Following this would be a parable lifted from the bible; and if you might start feeling queasy about it, it would be wise if you skip the whole section of it. Otherwise, read it with an open-mind and i hope you may be enthralled by it, as it had for me when i first read it.

The Parable of the Sower (Luke 8:5-8,11-15)

"A sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell on the path and was trampled on, and the birds of the air ate it up. Some fell on the rock; and as it grew up, it withered for lack of moisture. Some fell among thorns, and the grew with it and choked it. some fell into good soil, and when it grew, it produced a hundredfold."

"Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. the ones on the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved. The ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receives it with joy. But these have no root; they believe only for awhile and in a time of testing fall away. As for what fell among the thorns, these are the ones who hear; but as they go on their way, they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature. But as for that in the good soil, these are the ones who, when they hear the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patient endurance."
