WHat to do when you're occassionally shut out....

Hey peeps... was reading blogs and you know... it just bothers me that youths don't seem to be able to contain their feelings very well. And yes i know they have many problems in life... but there are so many others around them who have problems too that they're struggling with but just might not have mentioned it.

For me... i find it a struggle to sometimes give some of them the attention and concern they need when i'm struggling with my own work load. I feel really bad sometimes... i must say i really do try... even if it means running from computer to table computer to table. Trying to reply the messages i get... but there are many times where i fail to do so. And trust me i feel very very guilty and bad about it .

But the point is. I'm trying. And maybe the effort that i seem to give isn't as much as other people but that's my max. I'm totally maxed out. And i'm not joking about it. But i have to keep my spirits up and keep trying to break the ice to make that person feel better make it worth the time spent chatting to me.

BUt when i read some blogs... and i see anger all over. I feel sad. A blog is definitely a place for you to put down your thoughts and your opinions... but be careful what is said. Because a blog can cause hurt for many people you never meant to hurt. And the words you put on your blog are often impulsive... and sometimes sharp and hurtful.

Like in the case of the PSC scholar who recently got investigated for some racist comments he put on his blog. He didn't mean it! It was a simple joke he said... but it had immense consequences.

Sometimes i wonder how helena never fails to lend me that listening ear even when i know she's under a whole lot of stress from work and from life. Sometimes it comes to a point where i choose not to go to her because i know she's got enough to handle. We've got to take control of our own lives. And be god oriented. FIx our focus on god. Don't blame other people! Don't hate other people! If there's one person to hate... its the devil for telling us all those lies! He works in you ways you would never think he would! He could ruin your life without you knowing! Instead you'd go around blaming the entrie world for not understanding, for not giving you enough. And really that's shitty.

So how does it feel when a door gets closed shut in your face. Would you still be thick-skinned and knock on the door again or will you walk off in a huff?

Should you try and help even when the person doesn't think you're off any help? and instead finds you a nuisance? What would Jesus do?
