We do not find happiness by being assertive. We don't find happiness by running over people because we see what we want and they are in the way of that happiness so we either abandon them or we smash them. The Scriptures don't teach us to be assertive. The Scriptures teach us โ and this is remarkable โ the Scriptures teach us to be submissive. This is not a popular idea.
Rich MullinsI think that part of being human is being alone, and being lonely. I think one of the stresses on a lot of our friendships is that we require the people we love to take away that loneliness. and they really can't. And so, when we still feel lonely, even in the company of people we love, we become angry with them because they don't do what we think they're supposed to. Which is really something that they can't do for us.
Rich MullinsI think I would like to be a monk. I really considered Catholicism a few years ago, but there were some things that I just couldnt reconcile.
