I feel silly posting w/ya'll, you all sound so intelligent! Blows my mind anyway. I was reading and thinking of how I felt. I deal w/depression so yep I was trying to compare all this to depression. Depression is a good comparison I think. I think God knows everyone's path, wether that person be a rapest or a preist. A rapest I think, well its obvious he's not doing the work of God, but .... I like to look at this way. I was raped 8 1/2 yrs ago by a stalker, what did I get out of that? Well, it helped me focus on my life more, I slowed down the pace, I started taking everything in being more aware of my surroundings, I got to know more of the people who I would've stayed away from before. That one rapest did more for me than I could've done for myself at that one time, but... God didn't make him a rapest I'm sure of it. God allowed it to happen tho, b/c he knew I was going to grow and mature after that. Hmmm I'm wondering about boyloving as a disability? Wouldn't it only be a disability if the BL could not control his desires? Celibacy to me is attainable , but in my opinion it takes a very strong person to get there.And about that thorn in our side, that everyone has. I think that is there for us all to learn from, I know I could sit here and say that if I had everything I wanted and I had no problems of any sort, I'd be happy? I'm not so sure about that. Altho, I can only voice my opinion b/c I'm non BL, I do agree w/Bach on our purpose is to Serve the Lord, imitate his Love. Its hard to do w/that thorn in our side, but getting there is part of what makes it all worth while. Your able to respect yourself more b/c of the hard work,dedication etc. And I learned that I had to be thankful for my trials as blessings too. |
