Manifest says Sean Kingston's crash is a good lesson to the youth about faith
Manifest says Sean Kingston's crash is a good lesson to the youth about faith:
One Lousy Story
We meet all kinds of people. Few months ago, I met this lady on the net. Just like many, she too thought it was okay to presume. Anyway, she narrated this story of a Muslim girl. According to her, this girl is now a convert. She has accepted Judaism. The lady went on further & said that people are scared to talk about their religion.
Religion is a very personal thing & I don’t see the need to discuss it even with my best people. But the way she was babbling, it was obvious she thought I was either an atheist or someone in search of religion. And just like that girl who, most probably, could be a figment of her imagination, she thought I too might embrace some other religion. I didn’t like it, but somehow I tackled that lousy situation.
You know I don’t understand why people have this bad habit of presuming everything. Fine. I can understand that some people can’t go beyond their country & religion. But it doesn’t mean others too would fall in love with what is important to them. To be honest, I also don’t hold a very high opinion about converts. What good are they? If someone’s faith could be shaken so easily, then something is wrong somewhere.
I can’t say I admire that woman’s guts. I think it was stupid on her part to even thought of such a thing. I don’t even seem to be the kind of person you can get on your side, even if you have all the smart answers in the world. And to think that I might get influenced & then follow someone blindly – that seems to be one hell of a lousy joke. Come to think of it, getting all influenced & following someone for whatever reason…that is more like slavery, to my mind & I have always been against it.
Anyway, this was one lousy story, cause someone tried to crack one lousy joke. And the end result was all lousy. Nevertheless, I think it’s the right time to share with you all this story.
