Defending myself

It's been a tiring week. It seems that I'm defending my friends and myself over and over again. Various scenarios and topics keep coming up. And I'm tired. Tired of defending my state of singleness, tired of saying no, tired of explaining why, tired of telling others to look at the other side of the story. Just so very tired.

Just for once this week, I'd like a respite from all that. Thank God that my family, kindred spirits and cell members just get me. With one look, they just get what's in my heart and offer me their warm support. It's such a relief that I do not need to defend myself in front of them.

Sigh.

Updates: Since my readers have cheered me up some, I feel like posting an ad of myself. Now, no one can say that I'm not promoting myself enough.

*Marriage is a difficult journey, and both partners must be willing to die to themselves every day. If you don't find someone like that, it's better to hold off.

I am finding that I really don't need to keep making an idol out of the state of matrimony.

Truly, one can always live without a partner in life. But one cannot live without God.

He may or may not give you someone to call your own, but when you have the eternal perspective, it doesn't matter very much. It really doesn't.

As followers of Christ, we ought to understand that and not put burdens on our brothers and sisters.

*Being single is okay. It's better to be single than to marry the wrong person and then to get divorced. Socrates once said: "If a man marries a good woman, he is a happy man; if he marries a bad one, he becomes a philosopher". I'm sure that works the other way round too. ;-)

You can tell the nosey-parkers that. ;-)

*LOL!!! Touche. Yalar, that's exactly what I told my friend. I AM blogging. Hence it's a form of advertisement, no? :-D

Paul, I heartily agree with your statement about God and marriage. I'm truly happy where I am now because of His reality in my life - with or without a partner.

*Haha, thanks guys for making my day with your cheery comments :-)

It's more like, people think you are not doing enough, not advertising enough, go out enough, etc, that's why you are single. And that's just for the singleness issue. Imagine what the other issues are like. Bleh.

It's tiring to explain myself because these people are my friends and I thought they should have known me better by now and give me the benefit of doubt.

So, that's why lor :-P
