Just been thinking about how funny it is that we are often more honest when we're talking on msn than we are when we talk face to face. Why is that? Maybe it's because we're afraid of being vulnerable in front of people, but when we're talking to them over cyberspace and don't see them or hear their voice the fear is gone.
Being honest in that context also made me see how wrong our opinions can be. For example, was talking to a friend last night who shared things with me I never would have known otherwise. It changed my opinion on something and made me see it in a whole new light.
Talking to another friend tonight I realised that someone I thought didn't really want anything to do with me anymore, actually made themselves quite open and vulnerable with me. Maybe through miscommunication what I thought they felt about me they don't. Otherwise why allow youself to be so open. Who knows?!
God's been challenging me a lot on my attitude in relationships recently. Still working through it all. But one thing I'm learning is that one of the best ways to have a right attitude in relationships is to be open and honest with people. Especially in person, face to face, and straight away ... not just over msn!
And with that thought in my head I'm going to bed. No doubt I'll have more to say on this later ... especially as God ain't through with my attitude yet!
