Last weekend was a special Labyrinth day at the local church back home and during my time traversing the maze, the recommended pamphlet provided some reading that I really took to heart.
Upon introspection, I've realized that as a person, I'm imperfect at being imperfect.
My inferiority complex constantly causes me to act in a way that brings other people down so that I can feel better about myself. But while having those feelings of inferiority, I've mistaken them as humility. Its a tough line to draw between the two and its difficult to recognize the difference between pride, confidence, inferiority, and humility.
The backside of the pamphlet made a connection I wasn't expecting, that I don't truly desire peace. Since the beginning of 2018, I had spent a large number of hours absorbing news through various media outlets. The chaos of political and financial reporting bombarded me every waking hour and in that chaos, I felt alive. If I did desire peace, I feel like I shouldn't be consumed by topics stated above, and instead focus on something a little more positive.
But I suppose no one is perfect, and if there was any better time to change, it would be at beginning of a new year.
