Faito ka shinu (Fight or Die)

Faito ka shinu (Fight or Die) For Shingeki no Kyojin


It’d be better if you weren’t my friend
After all we all die in the end
Am I really just only a story?
Why should all of us take that as glory?

To fight is all that we know now
To kill is something we all vow
A dream is something forgotten
This sorrow is all that we’ve gotten

This nightmare seems never ending
But I know what I am defending
The wall we once used to flee
Will soon mark the start of the free

Silence

Somewhere I lost my dream
Now I just sit here in silence
My hope has lost its gleam
Now there is nothing but silence.

It’s like I've got off a train
And suddenly now there is silence
I’m standing still in this rain
And somehow that too is just silence.

There’s never a window to night
With no light of course there is silence
And I've lost my reason to fight
It’s like I’m embracing this silence

My own solitary thought is my home
Grey is the color of silence
Isolation is the name of my throne
I think I’m in love with this silence

When you’re alone,
Silence is all you know

The Power of Words Part 2

Continuing on the wordy posts...
So I was talking with my best friend and she said I should write a blog post on swearing. I got a Tumblr account about a month ago, (I don't know why it was the worst mistake I made in my life) and I have encountered a lot of people on this website who use words that I believe are offensive and rude and vulgar regularly. (mostly the f-word) And when I say regularly, I mean that they use these words at least five times a sentence. Now I don't wish to judge anyone, I know people who have very different views on this and that would probably disagree with me. I'm not going to start an argument or send hate mail or anything, this is just my personal opinion and this is my blog so I'm writing it on here.

There are two sides to this. One, the use of the f-word in internet debates and hate mail, and two, the use of the same word in daily communication.

I believe that internet debates are not always to be avoided, they are good ways to see how other people think and to share your opinion. However, when the debates start to get to the point where people are insulting each other personally, it needs to be stopped. It has become the norm to use the f-word in various insulting sentences intended to harm, humiliate and tear people down. It seems to be the most offensive word people can use off the top of their heads to insult someone.

In daily communication, I makes me want to gag. Everything is just f this, f that, and apparently humanity's IQ is low that we can't even thing of any other word to use to describe anything anymore. The future really isn't looking bright for our children.

In other words, using such profanity is shameful, hurtful, arrogant and just downright lacking in decency. But so is other hateful talk.

Ephesians 4:29 says:
"Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear." ESV

I think we all need to remember this verse when we talk to others. 

“Hear and understand: it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” - Matthew 15: 10b - 11
