flashTank's blog: "who is the Tank?"

alright, i'm just going to say what's on my mind... i watched a steven segal movie today, and realized something.  people reject faith because they link it to someone elses flawed ideology.  well, that's the excuse.  the real reason is because they think that it makes them badass.  they figure they will impress ppl by being their own higher power or something, or their own high cause.  but we are all flawed, so they will eventually fail.  the man with no faith, or claiming none, will get just what he has faith for.  nothing.  a man (or woman) with faith is the badass, because they can attain a level where their own demise is hardly failure, thus eliminating that fear from their life.  pursuing the purpose is the whole point of the purpose for someone with true faith.  this is a pretty broad statement and subject in general, and i don't know what it has to do with anything.

however, i am guided by some half-twisted, yet beautifully organic and real faith, that i can't even put binders on anymore.  i just go with it, and it works, and i don't know who i would be without it.  but at one point i was without it, and i know that it would suck to still be there, because i was fighting myself the whole time.  if you have faith, and you know what i mean, don't let your own pride screw you out of what it can do... for you and those around you.  the little things about you start to make sense if you continue.  salvation comes from need, and the truth comes from within, where it always is.

i guess i get off on this, or maybe elderbery wine and theraflu make me geek.  whatever.  don't fight yourself.  press onward through the fog.
