I often feel as if I have so many sins inside me that, at any moment, they could burst out of me like toothpaste from its tube. I have never had the issue of admitting to being sinful, from either a Christian or humanist perspective. Biblically speaking, I lie, I lust, I covet, I do not serve my neighbor, I do not love God or others fully. From a non-religious perspective, outwardly at least, I seem like an alright person. I try not to offend anybody's sensibilities, I try to respect various perspectives and life outlooks, and I do my best to spread positive vibes. But even using a slightly more loose "criteria of goodness" honestly, I still suck as a human. Regardless of perspective, I utterly fail. Day in and day out, it's a comedy of errors. I am always looking to improve and avoid these errors but I am constantly losing the battle.
But, without a doubt in my mind, my biggest, most egregious sin is judgement. I judge everything. I judge people. I judge places. I judge things. Every time I wander into the dangerous world of social media, an avalanche of judgmental stream of consciousness enters my mind with the force of a typhoon. Sally seems to be a bit full of herself with that post. Joey seems to be a tad racist with that post. Beth is complaining about her first world problems again, maybe she should keep those to herself. Steve is on his high horse about world poverty again. Jill is posting vacation pictures, maybe she should have donated that money to poor people... on and on and on. I can't help it. And you might be thinking to yourself, "Well the solution is obvious, just delete social media!" BINGO, BANGO, BONGO!
