Just having some thoughts...at least myself, after being awakened, I found myself standing for truth more often than not. I finally understood what our founders fought for. No longer a sheep.
But I've noticed that more and more I'm forced to choose between a relationship with either family, friends or dating, or the truth. I refuse to pretend everything is fine, I refuse to think BLM is a just and righteous movement. I refuse to call Biden a title he never earned. I refuse to pretend the mRNA shots work.
Never felt more alone than before. Yes we have this community, but real life relationships have definitely taken a toll.
Any ideas for how we can solve this?
Change your perspective.
This time is like weight training. When you go to the gym to lift weights, you don't think how can I solve this. Instead, you do the workout reps and lift the weights.
Scrolling thru the responses, most of us are in an isolated or near isolated situation. We are being hardened and tested to stand on our own and not with a crowd of "friends".
It takes courage and fortitude to stand alone. The only way these characteristics are forged is by having to actually stand alone.
This forum connects us with like-minded individuals from all over the place. It serves as a community to ground us and let us know that while we may be physically alone, there are many of us being hardened and tested at the same time.
Most of my friends have been stripped away for a variety of reasons (moving, falling out, superficial connection, etc.) I find it very freeing. I can now find new friends if I want, but I am now very comfortable being by myself as well. So I am pretty picky. 🙂
This is how I look at how things have changed. Hope this helps.
