I buy shop made bread. There it is! In a see-through wrapping, with the yellow, adhesive label and everything.
I like it.
I remember from long ago, seeing a Facebook post, yes, I am that old of a generation. The post was from a Scandinavian chap, commenting on bread just like I described above. He said, “that’s not bread!”-“THIS is bread.” And, of course, “THIS” refers to what he’s used to.
Many such conversations go on.
You’re not a real Christian.
You’re not a real truth-seeker.
You’re not far enough down the rabbit hole.
Your theory is half-arsed and you’re talking rubbish.
Judgy, judgy, judgy. And what does it achieve?
How does any of it educate?
To me now, it’s any excuse to talk and not do.
Such bizarre and intricate conversations develop where people say that Catholics are not Christians and Orthodox is more authentic. Stuff I’ve never heard before.
What’s real about your life?
What are you doing?
That’s what counts.
And believe me, I know I could be doing more than I am, seriously, just being honest and each week, I do a bit more, I’m going through all of it myself but the comparison game, it’s so old.
