Do you realise that when you refuse to do certain things, you try to give your reasons for your decision?
We tell ourselves that we won't wear revealing tops because we have ugly armpits or because we have back acne.
We tell ourselves that we won't drink because it makes us lose our mind and look stupid.
We tell ourselves that we won't kiss our boyfriend because if our parents find out about it our life will be doomed.
We tell ourselves that we will not wear miniskirt because our legs are covered with cellulite.
We tell ourselves that we will not lie because we will get caught.
We tell ourselves that we will not talk behind someone's back because we pity that person.
But these reasonings my friends, we can compromise with anytime we want.
We can tell ourself 'Ah to hell with those judging eyes. I can wear whatever I want. Besides, everyone does it and it looks good on me.'
or 'I don't mind being drunk once in a while, I'll stop when I'm 35'
or 'I don't mind doing things with my boyfriend because we're overseas and our parents are not here. We will get married and do these stuffs eventually, so why not now?'
or 'She's a bitch anyway so serves her right.'
But there's this one reason that is the strongest. It can never be compromised with, or at least if we do, we know for the fact that nothing we say can make it right.
And the reason is because it is against our religion and our God.
Now I've learned that as long as we live on the basis of that, we won't stray away too far.
