Theory of Lent by Thomas Waldron March 12, 2007

First off, I would like to say this is not a way to convert anyone. It is just a theory on how we could all be friendlier to each other in our daily lives. Lent is the time, 40 days before Easter, which you give up something, like say I give up Myspace or give up drinking soda. Seriously, I don’t think it’s needed. Why would you need to spend 40 days a year to give up something when you could just give it up for the rest of your life and not have to deal with giving it up every year? That is messed up. I’m not giving up anything for lent. I am giving up worrying, doubt, expectations of other people, emotion or say even grudges for life. We worry too much about things. We doubt our choices we make. We expect so much of people that we don’t realize how much pressure we put on them. We get worked up over the stupidest things. We hold grudges to the people who get us worked up sometimes. The things we don’t think about are what we need to give up, not materialistic stuff that really doesn’t make us corrupt. It’s our mindset that makes us corrupt. Just apply being more patient with people because in the long run, it makes our lives less stressful and your life as well.
