My soul clings to you,

Your right hand upholds me.

One of the things that frustrates me, is watching a video, or seeing a post where someone is asked a question, but instead of answering it, they argue for their point of view, making all these points, and sounding great, and yet with all the show and emotion, tears and sweat, they never once address any of the objections of the person asking the question. They sound good to those who already agree with them, but leaves the person asking the question, feeling ignored. They spend time answering imaginary objections. And in the end, they are only having a conversation with themselves, which is a little weird. If you refuse to listen to your opponents, your position is not as strong as you thought it was. Pride puffs up and destroys. None of us knows or understands as much as we think we do. We all have this tendency toward this insanity of only talking to ourselves. And we all have done it. It is something we have to be aware of about ourselves and fight vigilantly. And this is an important fight, if for anything else, for our own sanity. We need to be addressing real people, not imaginary ones.
