You ever wonder why we say and do certain things? Like, circumstantial behavior. We act one way here, and another there and so on and so forth. Its pathetic! And if one was to ever combine all of their personality's into one moment, one would be so confused as to who they are that they would in all probability die.
Lets just get to the point.
What is with all the hypocrisy? I'm not laying the blame on any one person, because I am as guilty of it as anyone else. But seriously? Why do we feel the need to impress people and fit in? I have at least 3 personalities, and sometimes I go from one to the other in a matter of hours. And by the end of those days, my head is ready to explode. Would it not be easier to simply be yourself whenever and wherever? What is to be gained by being someone else, or repressing a certain part of your personality in a certain situation? Nothing. Nothing at all. And yet we all still do.
Take Christians for example. We seem to be especially guilty of multiple personalities.
Honestly, do people even know we're Christians by our actions, words or anything that we do? Is there any distinction there whatsoever? In most circumstances, no. We act like perfect angels in church and around our 'church friends' and then we go off into the rest of the world and do as we please. Why?
You go to work. You act like a responsible adult, smile at people you can't stand, act like nothing in your life ever goes wrong, and pretend you know what your talking about all the time. Why?
You go to school. Act like either A: Nothing is wrong, you are happy and bouncy and here to make the world a better place. Or B: Seclude yourself from everyone in order to either escape pain of rejection or simply to hide the fact that you are having a really bad day. Why?
Then of course, there is you with your family. Where we seem to feel the freedom to treat those we love the most with the most inconsiderate behavior possible. We lie, cheat, backstab, talk about, yell at, ect. We mix a little bit of ever personality into it, along with every bad habit and behavior we have, and there you go! The person we are at home. Why?
This entire system of situational behavior is so frustrating and so sickening, even in my own life. When does the madness stop? When will we finally grow up enough to realize that the masks are too heavy to wear all the time?

Ok, that was rather serious. I totally agree though. I know at least 2 people in my youth group that don't even act remotely like christians at school, but then the second they are at church, they are...different. They are totally unlike their school selves and in makes me mad. I think I'm like one of the only ones who doesn't do that. Everyone says that I'm the best kid they know cause I always do the right thing and am not fake. Sometimes I feel fake.
