Justification.
A good reason why something exist or is done;
note at reason as an explanation of why something exists or why subject has done something.
So in order to justify oneself or one's actions, one must commit an action of some sort that may be deemed by another person as wrong, so as to have the person justify his actions or himself. Let that action be, consumption of alcohol below the legal age. One would justify himself that he is in control of what he is doing. Which is rather reasonable, especially if the individual can prove his words with his actions.
However, truth is the individual has already done wrong, has he not? He has already had disrespect for the authority. If one were to commit another illegal doing, something 'lesser', perhaps jaywalking, he were just as much be in the wrong by disrespecting authority too, wouldn't he?
James 2:For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.”If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.
Yet, for every different action which titles you lawbreaker, there is always a different punishment. Perhaps there are two aspects to look at when sinning.
And still, the bottom line is we've all done wrong before and the different degrees of wrongdoing can only be countered with different degrees of punishment, although both render you wrongdoer.

Blogging only because MingHui is late.
Recently, the actions of some have been very misleading to me. I can't seem to tell where everything is headed or what I should do. But then again, life is such, and such is life. Maybe its because I am a fool for small things. I tend to trick myself into thinking there's much more to anything than there already is. But who but myself can I blame?
I need peace of mind and clarity of thought. Pastor Aaron did give me a sharp jolt yesterday in Chapel from his lesson. Does the past form the current subject or can he have absolutely no blemish from before?.
Hmm.

Confusing is life.
Had my school's annual cross country run today. I ran. Twas fun. Breakfast at Thomson's Prata place following that and swimming at Penn's house where there was making currents in wadding pools, jacuzzi shiokness and rugby tackles into the pool.
Not really blogging. I need to use this thought space for more. Sigh.

Saturday
Went swimming in Ming Hui in the morning. Supposedly morning. After which we were supposed to buy wheels but ended up nuaing in corp office. We left as the adult worship practice started and got wheels. I learnt that I don't really love going out alot. Depends I guess. Anyway Ming Hui headed off to go take pictures from the Helix Bridge and OF the Helix Bridge with his buddies which I somehow know from pictures. I headed back to corp and had dinner with Mark, Aaron, Mel, Rachel and Guan You at Thomson, Mengs. After which we headed to NTUC where Mark, Aaron, Guanyou and I played little games in the stores such as finding the most expensive Oil, Cheese, Coffee, Wine etc. Rather nice and fun day.
Sunday
Service as usual with worship meeting after. Reflected alot on my way of thinking of a current situation. Was supposed to see Guan You off, but instead I went to Laura's birthday party. Called Guan You before he left though. Had a great time at the party and before. Accents are fun. Need to brush up on my aussie one though.
"Somethings I still don't understand and probably never will. Maybe not. But I guess life's been getting better. Surely?"

Well, its not that I loathe you or anything, in fact I loathe your actions. Well I hope so. Not you. I do pray you will see whats happening once.
Surely I also must be missing something, so I do pray I see what I have missed before.
If you are to do something to someone, make sure you yourself and take what you're giving.
