These days people say 'simplicity is the new complexity', and I totally agree with that notion. Simple everyday conversations nowadays have turned into avenues of blood splattered by life philosophies gone wrong. You ask Mrs Balls, for instance, 'how she is doing', and in her response she fades into a paradigm shift of injustices done to her and like smoke colliding with the clouds, she brings about a fuzzy rainfall of self justification, and being the better person that she is, she ends by giving you a smile as her farewell gift, and by asking you the same question with the hope that by now you've teleported to her world so you could cushion each other in your state of misery or in your now unsung pleasures.
Put your ear closer to rear subwoofer of simple everyday conversations and you will hear the roaring screams of complexity embedded in the footsteps of our everyday walk of life. Sometimes these screams can be so loud that they can overshadow the voice of God in our lives, by stealing our your understanding and wisdom and replacing it with third hand shoe laces which are supposed to form the tying not of life but they break as soon as circumstances changed. And when you pause this dejavu playlist of misconcepted theories, you get the comment 'I'm just making conversation' or 'I'm just picking your brain', which, obviously, after the conversation, leaves you absent from your right mind.
We must then, at all times, make Christ the foundation of our daily arguments and conversations no matter the topic, so as to remain in His sanity.
A wiseman once told a close friend of mine that 'these days one must carry an umbrella to protect himselves, because it's raining lemon coated lies and blasphemies in attempts to steal our mind.'
Keep Thinking!
