Speak Your Truth and Rest
<p>Your opinion is not the same as everyone else’s. It’s okay to believe something other than what other people believe. You can share your opinion or your believe and there would be no problem. The only thing you shouldn’t do is bring down other people because of what they believe.</p><p>There’s a clear difference between criticism and mockery. When you do not accept a person’s believe or thought and you decide to respectfully address it and give your opinion, that is criticism. However, when you address it in an insulting way, that is mockery.</p><p>Looking at this from the religious side, a lot of people believe in God while many others believe there’s no God. Everyday, there are religion issues online and many people take it too far.</p><p>I have scrolled through X several times and I’ve seen people say Christians are being deceived. They talk about how pastors lie to their followers and make them believe what is not true. Of course, they have aired their opinion and it’s fine but the problem is when they begin to insult the people who talk about how God is real and how God did something good in their lives. They make mockery of them for believing that God is real. Some even go as far as insulting pastors, they make so many derogatory statements towards them. What happened to speaking your truth respectfully and keeping mute? What do insults do? Do they stop people from believing there’s no God? Dragging it and making people feel like they are making the worst mistake of their lives by believing in God, is certainly not the right way to go.</p><p>Christians are also guilty of this. Many Christians go about mocking the mockers. Is that supposed to be Christian-like? You want them to believe that there’s God and you go about insulting them. How does that work? It is only a prove to them that you believe only by words. They would ask if God insults or mocks. As a matter of fact, it enables them to talk against the existence of God more. Why not respectfully talk about God and make them believe there is God? Say your truth and keep mute. You do not have to be aggressive. It’s more like forcing them to have the same belief as you.</p><p>Everybody cannot think the same way or believe the same things. That is what makes us humans. Learn to SPEAK YOUR TRUTH AND REST.</p>
