For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks

AT the start He was there. In the end He'll be there. After all our hands have wrought, He FORGIVES.

As I continue to see how society changes in its morals and its standards it shows me how inconsistent we, as humans, are. We continue to change each and everyday. Our values have changed and emotions change along with it. A question that comes to mind is "how good do we have to be?" according what standard "How good is good?". To one person good might mean sharing their sandwich to another it might mean buying someone a house. Shoot, even Hitler thought he was doing good for his country when he began to eliminate the Jews. These are just a few examples of out inconsistencies.

We were discussing in my anthropology class how certain words in our vocabulary means something else to someone from a different culture. Of course this is so, we were all brought up in different societies with different beliefs and morals; however, doesn't that mean that there is no absolute meaning for certain words that we may think is absolute. To us it may seem right but to someone from a different culture it is wrong. Ah this makes my head spin.

So where do we draw the line? How do we draw the line if we all think differently? How open-minded do we half to be? (we don't want our brains to fall out) How close minded do we half to be (don't want to reject everything, we need faith). there has to be some sort of standard, but it can't be human standards because, as seen above, we are inconsistent. There has to be some higher power something/someone that holds that standard. I believe that consistency we desperately need in this roller coaster life is God. He is the one that will be our rock and foundation. He is the one that will never leave us nor forsake us. He sets the standards and the first is to love Him (God) and the second is to love your neighbors as yourself. If there is no love for yourself then where is the love coming from. It first must originate from the heart and if you have the consistency of God in your heart then good positive words should come out of your mouth.
