More

"May I have some more?"

The infamous question by the world known Oliver Twist.

"More you say? You want more?!" comes the reknown reply. Followed by the cresando.

Many times. I've always wanted more. Always. And ironically its at those times when my conscience questions. Are you sure you want more? Don't you have enough? And greedily i would always answer back, "Why would I settle for what I have? Wouldn't I want more?

But, the real question is. More of what? Physical things or spiritual things? Necessities such as food and drink are of course needed, but the thing is; am I over-indulging? Eating in the most expensive restaurants, dining at the most exquisite; aren't gonna get me far, instead empty my wallet. I'm not iterating that all is bad. As Paul wrote: All things are permissbile, but not all are beneficial.

Yeah, many critics would say that hey, I'm blessed, why can't I get more stuff. Well, if it benefits you, go on right ahead; I doubt that there are many people which would stop you. But as I (slowly) learnt, though yes, I may in fact have the money to spend, but will it be a blessing to me? Or would purchasing it affect me in any way? Such as distract me from God, my studies or my life as an entirety?

Computer games, for an example is a life draining parasite, camouflaged with the lie: "An epic experience you will never forget". Or something like that, it doesn't matter how they put it. Though I'm not saying playing them would be detrimental in any way, but there are those out there which were designed. Yes -DESIGNED- right at us; to get the player addicted. To pull us away from God. I always wanted to know what had been pulling me away from spiritual things, and finally concluded: The effort and time I spent delving into the harsh, cruel and unforgiving grasp of computer games.

There are many more things, the list goes on and on. But thats just ONE example.

Well, I'm not twarting girls in anyway. Girls should value themselves, donning bracelets, headbands - accessories. Thats the way they're strung out. Looking good isn't going to hurt anyone eh? =)
