Maybe your situation raised the issue of what we are prepared to tolerate and what we feel pressured by enough to object to.

I think you did the right thing given the stress you were dealing with, @Coruscating

Im Sorry my post was not meant to be offensive. I will remove it if you like and  drop out of this thread, again I apologize.  I already made one mistake by posting it. If I try to answer it may turn into a second mistake depending how it is taken.

I am getting even more confused! haha Brother, how could I be offended by something I don't understand. I honestly want to know your reasoning. I am honestly just asking for your help to understand. :)

 

Editing to add:

What is the worse thing that can happened here? We can disagree. That is fine! See: My friend told me I was right and that I should speak to administration. I called my mother, told her what had happened and asked her "Mom, I am asking for your opinion, because our friend thinks I did too little, but he is mad at this situation." And she answered "So am I!". That said, I decided to ask for different opinions here. Why would your post be a mistake? Disagree with me. If I disagree with you and we can discuss it with sincerity and good intentions, then in the end we both made a friend.

@NConly, @D. Adrien, @Michael37 and (all who read this):

I keep having a weighted conscious, due to the responsibility I have towards others, as Jesus' witness. However, as soon as I posted this topic, that weight shifted to: Why did you post this? Shameful, posting this here. Etc.

What I concluded: There is an enemy who likes to bother us, so that our life without God may look easier. This enemy is not just someone who shows us seemingly pleasurable stuff. He can be extremely annoying too.

If I did everything I could to do something right, I will shake these annoyances out of my head from now on. The Holy Spirit will show me my mistakes,  I don't need to over analyze events.

Maybe one clue to know the source of my struggling thoughts is this one: When it is the Holy Spirit, it is I the annoying one.

I remembered David's brother. When David offered to take care of the giant, his brother angrily said: "Why have you come down? (...) I know your presumption and the evil of your heart". I like how David remained steady in his will, for he knew who he was and what were his intentions. His whole life, regardless of his mistakes, he was always available to learn from God and make a change.

Thank you all, for your attention, help and care. This online community is a blessing! May we all have eternity to know each other.

Sometimes how we think is the bad habit that needs changing. Our adversary has been influencing us in ways we are unaware of our whole life. Even as Christians we can be easily self-deceived.
