Love is not an illusion - bible talk

[jennifer_bloom]

There is a famous rapper in my school who used to have thousands of viewers to his posts online because he was tall and muscular and bold and loud and would rap about poverty and mental health and bullying, he bragged on Facebook about how he got a B writing an essay about a mainstream rapper and was met with applause.

But now that he isn’t using street lingo, no longer shaves his arms and legs, got rid of his gangster clothing, stopped projecting his voice using Hollywood style tonal alto sounds and isn’t displaying his body and face at fashionable angles, only 6 people watch his videos online, he still raps about the exact same issues, but he’s lost his gangster style and the esteem of his followers.

The stuff you see on Hollywood is not real, models contort their faces by repeating the same facial expressions in every pic, their clothes are fitted on with specialty equipment that is hugely uncomfortable and they smile and look strong while their feet hurt, their skin is cold, and their bodies are hungry because they want to trick people into thinking they are skinnier then they actually are, if you want real love, you need to love the reality and not the Hollywood illusion, meaning you must choose affection and not social esteem, because popularity is as useless as a broken door knob, it can be gained and lost in a matter of minutes or hours or days, and what you have left is all that will matter to anyone at all in the end.

"If you want real love, you need to love the reality and not the Hollywood illusion" Dang.

Great take, JB.

A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.
(Prov 18:2)
Many of their tattoos, clothing (anti)-style, hygiene habits, etc. are simply "their opinions" being objectified, made public, etc., and - for some reason- allowing them to become false idols. They don't WANT to understand or BE understood. They just do what they have to- whether shaving words into their scalp, being injected to morph their shapes, ad infinitum- to STAY "top of mind" in the consumers' collective "brain".

Love is patient when dealing with others. (Hear that Rock and Smith?) Love is knowing when to stay quiet. Love is kind. Love puts others before yourself and is not boastful. Love is not an illusion. Amen. ( Ref 1 Cor 13:4 )

I like your comment I think it was very well said. One of the only ones I believe to stand up and give Will Smith some Biblical words of wisdom was Denzel Washington. In his speech Will brings up a small part of what was said to him by Denzel, but there was much more to what Denzel said. I hope that Will is sincere in his apology, that he takes responsibility for them, learn from them and most importantly change his actions and behavior moving forward. An apology isn't really an apology until he does that. I learned many times that anyone can say "Sorry," but if no change takes place they're simply shallow words.

@VinnyMac Yes, with the apology there needs to be repentance.

Love is software, i believe, a program installed by our creator to make us not feel shitty and forget that we were imprisoned on this planet

[spiralshape]

I think Hollywood should be abolished along with the Silicon Valley and replaced by CHURCHES. I know it sounds controversial but there's far more Christians than other religious and nonreligious people in America

[kitkills]

That story seems completely irrelevant to whatever message you just tried to send. I don't think you thought that through at all
