Surly's Soap Box

...that there are some people I know, people who I might have counted as friends, who have been using content found on this site to mock me, make fun of me, and generally do the "I'll make myself feel better about myself by tearing down somebody else because I'm so desperate to be somebody because my pathetic little life sucks and I want to feel superior..." thing.

If you think my Christianity is funny or a waste of time, or my inner reflections worthy of derision, then maybe you should take some time to look at your own life. At least I'm out there doing something, trying new things, growing as a person, contributing to society while you, perhaps, have given up. And Hey! I'm having fun. Kind of sucks right now being out of work and such, but over all life is good.

It actually makes me sad knowing that I can't really share the good stuff, the deep stuff, the real stuff with you because you'll just use it to stab me in the back. In fact, I'm beginning to believe that the only reason you talk to me is to get more ammo.

Before you lash out in anger, before you pick up the phone or leave that nasty comment, take a week to think about this: Is that how you want a friend to treat you?

Think about it.
