Always Doing the Wrong Thing
Why is it that there are things that you know should do and yet you can't bring yourself to do them, and then there are things that you know without a doubt that you shouldn't do and you can't stop yourself from doing them? Sometimes I feel like I'm always doing the wrong thing.
Why are we like that? What prevents us from acting the way we should or doing what we ought to do?
It's not necessarily an evil streak, I don't think, that stops us or prods us. But something is definitely out of whack in our make-up. (I hope you don't mind my speaking rather broadly on behalf of all of humanity.)

p.s. Apologies for the blog being unavailable for several hours on Tuesday into Wednesday. I still don't know what happened. Things seem to be back to normal now.
Depends on your school of thought. If you're a Christian, we're fallen and
born sinners. If not, then we're just tempted. Tempted by the fruit of
another. Tempted but the truth is discovered.
You 'know' that you shouldn't do or you 'feel' (for whatever reason) that
you shouldn't do? I think, at heart, we all know what's right, really
right, for us, and if we can be good to ourselves then we try to do that.
And we listen to Squeeze, of course we do. Aren't they great?
so i was drinking my black coffee in bed this morning (ha!) and i was
wondering if there's a difference between "sinful" not doing of things you
know you should do and the not-so-sinful just not-quite-interested not
doing of things. does that make sense? i mean, is it really a sin to sit at
the computer instead of pulling weeds in the garden? :)
