I didn't mean to step on your toes, but what I meant is that there's nothing EVIL about it, I mean sometimes there is if you know whose behind it, but what I was getting at was not letting your life be about that. God wants a relatonship with us, but if our time is tied to all these other things our relationship may, no, will be strained. It's about focus, people often let it get out of hand. With movies for instance, if you have netflix or rogers, you might be watching 1 or 2 movies, plus tvshows each day and sometimes way too late into the night. With music, how many times do we have our earbuds in and completely walk past somebody without even hinting that we are aware of there existence. These are just some of the things I have struggled with.
The op says his/her life is a mess so I am trying to suggest doing something differently. And what I was suggest was refocusing on God, because maybe she feels like me at this point, the world doesn't make me happy anymore, only temporarily and fleeting, and, maybe if that is not the problem if he/she is having issues elsewhere, she may likely benefit from having a better relationship with God for guidance and security.
I see. I tend to watch movies and shows in moderation so it's never been too much of an interference to me. IIN on the other hand... >.> Let's not go there. XD
I don't feel like I can give the OP the best advice without knowing more about her life. Oftentimes changing your habits and your routine and putting more time and effort into yourself (not to discount her faith) are really big steps in doing so. When I was really stressed out I didn't clean much, didn't take care of my health as well. Now that things are going better I find it helps me relax to try to do mostly only things beneficial to my life and health. I feel like I could have worded this paragraph better but ah well.
I'm not really religious anymore, I don't know what the hell you'd call me. It's kind of Pantheism but that's not a very good comparison either, and I don't wanna write a novel here ^^;
You make a good point, cutting these things out of your life cut and dry, might be really hard if you are attached, it's a whole new lifestyle, I won't repeat myself again, but I believe if the OP frees up some time even to meditate on this, he/she might be in a better state.
Thanks for the conversation :D
ps. I'm afraid all this txt has scared him/her off :P
conflict of faith?
