even though
most without knowing it, humans live their life based on a series of conditions; if this happens then that will happen, but if that happens then this won't happen, and so on and so forth. Most of the time these stipulations are recognized selfishly, they are made to make decisions about what is to happen in order for a desired outcome to manifest.
there is one evident condition made on behalf of the consideration of another subject; and this subject is always something that is loved, adored, maybe even desired by the deciding party.
"even though"
this states that one is making an exception. this means that someone is choosing to overlook a situation or inhibition in order to achieve - or receive - their desired outcome.
this does not mean that the person is selfish. this statement is often made in hindsight, in recognition of the sacrifices someone has made or the challenges and difficulties that they have watched someone that they love overcome.
even though ____, i am still going to _______.
even though ____, i still love __________.
even though ____, i am still going to forgive ____.
even though ____, i can still appreciate _____.
even though you are different than me, i am still going to appreciate that you are what you are and how you are. the world would not be what it is if you had never existed. someone's life would be drastically different if you weren't in it.
even though you broke my heart, i am still going to love you. this does not mean that i will trust you. this does not mean that i will still be with you. but i refuse to do anything but love you. i will love you for your sake and for mine; if i didn't, then i would be just as guilty as you.
even though you ruined the last holiday we had with her, i am still going to forgive you. just because you were hurting and you made a bad decision doesn't mean that i should hate you forever; it doesn't mean that i should disown you or ignore you. if anything it means that i should take you under my wing and reassure you that everything is going to be okay, that i should love you more, that i always should have loved you more.
even though i'm still adjusting to life without my grandmother, i am still going to live my life to the fullest and be the happiest that i can be every day. it is hard knowing that she won't get to see me grow up to be everything she had ever hoped for me to be. it is hard knowing she won't be at my graduation from college, that she won't be at my wedding, that she won't meet my children; but it is selfish to wish for her back, she is happy and pain free where she is and i will meet her there when my time comes.
even though you love me differently, i still love you. you love with words and hands and i love with thoughts and actions, but that does not mean that we do not love and that does not mean that we do not love each other. it is obvious that we do, just differently.
even though we are all sinners, Christ still died on the cross for us and was the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. despite knowing that we would always miss the mark, despite knowing that we would all deny him and doubt him, despite knowing that at some point in our lives we would all hate him, Jesus still died for us.
every single day we make decisions. we make sacrifices, and others make sacrifices for us.
i contend that we need to recognize these sacrifices, these decisions. by remembering them we might realize that we are more loved than we thought. even the little things that people do for us are things that they made the decision to do. even the things that people don't do for our sake but nonetheless still benefit us are things worth celebrating and noticing.
this generation needs to stop making itself the victim. this generation needs to recognize that not everyone makes decisions based on selfish reasons; i would contend that most people don't. politicians aren't passionate about things on their own behalf; they don't have debates about abortion because that's what's best for them specifically and personally, but because that's what they believe is best for the people that they represent, for the people that the might even care for.
next time something hurts, next time someone hurts you, next time something bad happens, next time you feel lonely, next time you feel sad, take a moment and ask why. maybe you haven't made an exception on someone else's behalf; maybe you haven't forgiven them; maybe you haven't loved them; maybe you're condemning the innocent; maybe you're the selfish one.
