I realised that making true friends in Melbourne is not easy. It is difficult to trust people here as well as to be myself. They are many discrimination here. People pretend to be cool, to attract the opposite gender. People make friends for the wrong reason like so that they could use you. People smile to you and behind your back backstab you. People act like someone else. It is difficult to trust. And i kind of know why it is like this and the solution which i think helps.
People need family but what is a family? It is called a family when there is love and when we are free to be ourselves. It is called family when our family really cherish us and know us. But what is true love? And how can it be in a family?
Many families love each other but there are still hurts in it. When there are hurt in it how can they love again? It is quite hurtful when someone you really love hurts you. Can they trust again? How does it work? And how can they go to a deeper trusting relationship? Is it worth when your family that hurts you one day pass away and you feel the grief? How does it work? And wouldn't most people feel vulnerable or have many defensive mechanism to stops them to be who they really are?
Do we need to be really afraid because it seems like we are doom.
In my opinion, i think the answer is God. God is the Way, Truth, and Life. He is the Light of the World of darkness, lies, falsehood and sin. And what destroy our lives is actually sin. Sin destroy relationships with each other as well as pull us further from the source of life which is God. The Word of God helps us to be free from sin so that we could be free! Lust is a lie. Anger cause destruction. Unforgiveness cause hatred. Do we need to be good to be accepted? What happens if one day we suck again? Doing something for people and tell them that they do it for them makes people feel worthless. There are many ways of destruction and one way of life. But how can we do it alone? And are we alone?
As catholic, the Eucharist, the body of Christ is very important to us. God give us His real body so that we could have eternal life. Actually it should be the basic of our identity, the foundation of who we are. If you spend time in the Blessed Sacrament, or attend daily mass, this bread of Life actually heals us, transforms us from sin and unite us Catholics together because the bible says we are one Body, one Body in Christ and we do not stand alone. And in an environment of falsehood, we are vulnerable. But in an environment of truth and love, we are free and our esteem soar like an eagle. And God do unite us when we stick to Him.
But in order for that to happen, we always need to carry our Faith with us. Only when we believe God can work in our lifes. When we connect with God it is even better. Many things which is impossible in my life went possible because God just snap His fingers and it happens. God will pull us out of sin. God will show us direction of anything of Him. Which is Life. Which is true possible unconditional love. But we need to trust, ask, and take action. Because of Him we have hope. Because of Him we have a family that accepts us! Because of Him we do not need to be afraid because we are one body of righteousness no matter where we are! We are never alone and vulnerable when we know who we are.
