A friend and I were talking the other day. We shared our backgrounds (which are surprisingly similar) and our dreams. We came to an interesting conclusion. We talked about how we both come from families largely impacted by alcohol, fights, bad decisions, etc. And we have come up with this theory...our genetic backgrounds make us want to be bad.
Yep! I've always felt this opposing force inside me...good and bad. I want to be good...but I also want to be BAD! It sounds dumb and illogical, but it's true. Our backgrounds are riddled with wrong things and so somehow we each feel the need for that lifestyle. I can sometimes imagine making certain decisions that everyone around me says are bad...and feeling good about it. But then I come back to my senses and remember what the Bible says about how I should live my life.
It's just interesting though...hhmmm...
