agree to disagree.

ouch this kinda hurts.
someone was saying how in bfec... people are so rooted to the people they know and the people they're comfortable with, they don't bother to let other people into their lives.
and i can't disagree.. not for everyone of course. but for some people...
its not a fault here. but its evident, and well sometimes u can't have the best of both worlds.
being like that might help to build stronger, more longer-lasting friendships.

when samuel gave a talk to the SSS kids on unity and said how "cliques are good"..... and its biblical
i couldn't say it more myself but... yes.. tt just personifies what they're like...
when i stepped into SSS everyweek many years ago, i remember their group as the ones that made me feel so unwelcome and caused me to leave.... and right now i ask myself the same question... and i also ask myself why they've not changed... not realised it.
and i'm beginning to think no differently right now.
my refusal to form a clique though, has really led me to feel so awkwardly and grow so downcast. i sigh. perhaps its just me... not them! i need more enlightenment on this issue...
can we agree to disagree? or should i agree?
but anyway i think he gave an incorrect example? if he wanted to establish his point.
1. Jesus and his disciples were as their relationship suggests. They were not a clique. the essence of a clique is very different. same with the other example he gave. Jesus (God) definitely does not have a clique. he has disciples that are closer to him than others; simple as that.=)
but anyway i don't agree cliques are that good... well... yeah they can become very exclusive.
well as we like to believe...
the things we've experienced have definitely shaped the way we are.
e.g. with friends, with people.

well... be yourself though, no matter what it takes.
