Telling About the US Today ~September 30, 2009

I believe in God. People in America, when looking for a reason to believe in God just want to see how that relationship will help them benefit personally. Since all they see is Christians having the same kind of life, or sometimes worse life, then they decide that they do not want that relationship with someone who will help them in the future. I think this has a lot to do with today’s society in the United States. In every potential relationship people start, they always determine if the relationship they build with this person would be worth it in the long run or not. For instance, a girl meets a guy in a bar and they start to talk and really get along. They decide to go out to dinner the next night. When it comes time to pay the check, the guy tells the girl that he is currently unemployed and therefore he can not pay for both his and her meal. After an amazing evening of getting along and genuinely enjoying each other’s company, the woman decides she no longer wants to see him. Why would Americans base, what could possibly be the greatest relationship they have had, on how much money a person can put into the relationship? Americans are constantly looking out for the big number one, themselves. If they think that having a relationship with someone would possibly contribute to their life in some way, they are more than open in pursuing the relationship. However if you cannot produce a benefit in their not so distant future, why would they waste their time on you?

That's all for now!
