I'm definitely feeling a lot better than I was when I posted my last blog. I prayed a lot about the whole situation and talked it over with someone and prayed some more… and the burden is definitely off me now.
I'm still thinking about it a lot, yes, but certainly from a different perspective, in a way. Before, I knew I had to forgive… now, I realize that in a way somethings had to happen for me to be able to forgive and relax.
On a slightly related note, is it not a little funny how we humans seem to assume what others think about us. We assume so incredibly much! Often enough I think this causes problems… just because one person hurt you from a church, the whole church is evil… just because you had experiences that were ill with a few people of the opposite sex, you assume the whole sex is askew. To a certain extent, there may be truth in our assumptions, but those assumptions don't mean that it is true, nor even generally true.
I have noticed this a lot over the last few months. This covers a lot of ground… from small mistrusts to extreme feminism… we assume so very much based on what we know.
I don't even know what else to say about it right now, really… except that I am guilty of this, too.
What do you think? Do we assume too much? Do we sometimes need to assume? Would it solve anything if we did not assume so much?
