You've got to admit it, everyone has an obsession and that's no lie. You, me, and every one of your friends.
Who has the blame? TV, the internet and magazines. TV and magazines has fame, while the internet has twitter and facebook; which means 'make as many friends as you can'. But these have become our social life. It's quite sad to see where this life has gone. I feel it's been like this for a very long time. Way before I was born, let's just say the 30's ish, because that's around when the fame started; acting wise and movie making. If you ask me, I find that quite crazy. And technology has improved a lot since then, which makes us more interested in movies, internet and magazines.
I think Facebook and Twitter are number one on that list. People depend on that to socialize and to have a 'proper life'. When I think that's crap. There are easier ways to make friends, do it the old fashion way, walk up to the person and talk and be yourself. I think what Facebook was made for is to stay in touch with people you might never see again. And for Twitter, that is just a place to update statuses, I know this because I have one. And it's slightly boring, yet addicting at the same time... but that's not my point. It's retarded how this planet revolves so much around those two sites.
People, there are other things to worry about. So what if your house isn't big enough, or you don't own a car when your family has 2, or your friend has more facebook friends than you. There are much bigger things to life than that. People are out in this world struggling. Like for instance, Japan and their earthquakes, kids and family's around the world who don't have anything.
I know I've gone from innocent to serious, but I feel like that's where we go in our own lives. From just a slow and normal liking into a must have obsession. And that's scary, but the truth.
Fasting is appropriate in this situation and it's hard, but it's possible. We need to turn to God and gain everything we can from Him. He will guide us, help us. If you can't hear Him speak, turn to the Bible. It's happened to me before, it's a neat experience.
Life is interesting. Don't get me wrong, I do love life. And everything God has given me. I just think that we need to focus on the things that God wants us to see. Help the helpless, and bring people to Him and His Kingdom. It's hard, yes, I know. I still struggle to this day with bringing people to church. And to talk to friends who aren't christian or who don't want to even look at you when you say Jesus. But it's something that must be done. If they don't want to be apart of it, that's their choice. As long as you try, God will be pleased with whatever you do. He loves you no matter what you do or don't do.
