"Fear of others will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord will be kept safe."
//Proverbs 29:25
After all, it was a loaded question. I knew it and yet I could not back out of it. But in the end, what hurt me the most wasn't that I couldn't defend who I am well enough to square it with myself. What hurt me the most was that secretly we knew, we knew, even without anyone saying anything that I and all the others who stood for what I did were fools in their eyes. I have no idea why it bothers me so much when it should already be clear to me that what I stand for is a foolish thing in most people's eyes, especially the people reading law. Even if the harmless names and ribbing doesn't bother me, I can't help the anger and pain at knowing that some people probably do see us as undeniably stupid. I can't do anything to change your mind and I won't attempt to do that. I need to dust off my knees and get up where I fall. It's a long, long journey till I find my way back to you.
