I'm the blue blip in the back... |
On another note, I am realizing yet again that people who are able to listen and take an interest in others' lives are few and far between. I notice that the majority of conversation is one person telling a story about themselves, and it reminds someone else of something - so that next person tells a story about themselves... and the conversation goes on like that. Why is that? is our society so selfish that we have grown accustomed to only thinking of ourselves all the time? Is that something that tends to come with being a Christian - the ability to inquire, empathize, and encourage another person? Is that something that comes with emotional maturity? I am guilty of it myself - being more interested in making sure everyone else knows how awesome and funny I am, instead of focusing on the needs and interests and desires of others. Maybe that's what Jesus meant when he said to love others more than we love ourselves.
Ironstar 70.3 is now officially one week away. Gulp.
