View Profile History	The Damaged Soul� Posted : 28 Sep, 2013 10:23 AM I think it's safe to say that everyone has some sort of issue, but calling out one issue as if it's the only issue people may have seems a bit pretentious to me. There are a lot of damaged souls out there, but not all of them are narcissists. Some of them are depressed, druggies, alcoholics, etc. Everyone is a work in progress, what we need to do is to keep ourselves pure and pray for others whom we know need help. Even our enemies. We've got to be the change we want to see in the world. If we go around labeling people we are no different than the world. If we curse, are unrepentant of our mistakes, judge others, and don't forgive people then how do we make Christ appealing to people? They will only see our faith as a shield we hide behind instead of our armor against the world. Post Reply
