Just thinking
February 19, 2009
One of the things I love about WordPress is that anyone can leave you comments, even if they don’t have an account themselves. It is also one of the things I really dislike. There have been multiple occasions of receiving rude, vulgar, or just downright hateful comments from people I do not know. I always delete these comments immediately after reading them and, if I’m smart enough to remember, pray that God will protect my heart from their words.
The thing about all of this is that I don’t despise these people who leave such comments, but I sincerely wonder what the appeal is. Beyond that, I also feel an almost overwhelming sorrow for them. I don’t say this to sound falsely compassionate but because I really do feel this way. I can’t imagine how miserable it must be to live with a bitterness that causes you to say hurtful things to people you don’t even know. And maybe they don’t even realize this, but I hope that one day the light will come on for them and that they will run from their misery and into the arms of peace.
