it's just an analogy
i don't drink soda.
that's not an entirely true statement.
i drink soda... just only one or two a week.
so last weekend, i wanted decaf coffee at nexus. (this stems from the 'no soda clause' previously mentioned). well, we had a minor fiasco with the decaf at nexus, so i didn't get any.
i had explained to kevin that i wanted decaf b/c i can't drink a caffeinated drink that late at night. i get the jitters.
so i ended up drinking a mountain dew.
did my actions follow my words? no. clearly not.
but kevin pointed it out. "don't want caffeine, huh?"
yeah... about that...
i'm a hypocrite sometimes.
so i wasn't up all night b/c of a can of mountain dew. and my bones aren't any more brittle or closer to osteoporosis b/c of the caffeine intake. but i did go back on my word.
not a big deal with soda, but with major life issues... "i'm saving sex for marriage." oops. that's a big deal.
people see that. and instead of someone thinking, "there's a guy who slipped up. i feel for him." they think, "there's a guy who can't be trusted. he says one thing, and does another."
i think too many times mistakes are seen as ways of life in people when really all they need is a little support and love.
