Why aren’t you happy and well-adjusted?

The odd thing about us Christians is how often we live our own steriotype out. Isn’t it strange how we have to look like something and act like something in order to be accepted as normal? Of course, this happens everywhere. But the world takes all types: not everyone is going to be a happy, well-adjusted, clean-looking denizen of this current world. There’s much to be said for why you pretty much can’t be happy and well adjusted without living in denial.

This is what I try to do, mostly because it would be very, very nice if it caught on, and because of this little thing I like to call the Golden Rule: I try to accept people’s eccentricities. I figure, hey, everyone’s different. Some people are firmly grounded in facts and figures. Other people like to pick up a paintbrush and be Dali. But both these types of people have their place, even if they don’t see eye to eye. No steriotype there.

Some people are happy. Others are well-adjusted – whatever that means. And yet again, other people don’t smile much. Different steeples for different peoples, if you know what I mean.
