What's Wrong With Us?

          My oh my. The world is a messed up place. It just sucks sometimes. Something I read on FB this week just made my blood boil. I absolutely adore my husband. He is amazing. He has so many undeniably christ-like attributes. Some that would be excruciating to learn or obtain. He has been blessed with so many amazing attributes and personality traits. I was scrolling through FB and my brother had commented on a status. This status deeply offended me. It was the meme of a man's hands all dirty from working on a car & on the meme it said "If your boyfriends hands never look like this, than you're dating a girl" and the post to go with it was "If your boyfriends hands never look like this...you probably have a real man who went to school and got a great job to provide for you so that he never had to do that... so... yeah..." That infuriated me. I was offended because my husband is about to go to school to become a mechanic.
          I then realized wow. I'm not insecure about my husband. He's amazing. I am so confident that he will always provide for me and our family with whatever he does. THAT makes him a man. Then I just got sad. Why do we constantly try to define what makes or doesn't make someone a man? Why do we try and define what beauty is? We degrade each other and put each other down. We're all insecure babies. Can we just admit it? We are all selfish and self centered monsters. That's why I cling to the gospel. I need a saving grace ALWAYS. I'm so imperfect that I need it in my life. But why can't we just cut it out? This is why I just hate people. It's annoying that we can't just be happy for everyone and celebrate their differences.

END OF RANT.
