loyalty v. faithfulness

as i was reading a newspaper article,
it scribes a dog being trapped in a car for 19 days!
without food, without water,
but a huge awful stench, and alive!

and then suddenly some thoughts sipped through.
dogs are often conferred as mankind's best friend..
coz they're loyal, cute,
blah blah blah.

a friend of mine used to say,
having a dog, is better than having a bf.
it listens and doesn't fight back..
won't feel obliged to spend extensive amt of time wif it.

and den i really start to wonder,
is that what pple normally want?
somebody who just listens and doesn't speak.
and simply be your beck and call?

aight, let's be nice and humane here.
let's not use the word loyalty, but faithful.
it pretty much means the same thing,
or doesn't it?

dogs are loyal because they don't haf extra-maritial affairs,
and because they stick by you through tough times.
God is faithful because He doesn't impose anything on you,
and He sticks by you through good times and bad.

a not-so-good boyfriend would be something like,
he imposes his standards on you.
doesn't give you your own space when you need it.
and he MAY cheat on you!

so how does a friend or a boyfriend be faithful?
of coz not like a canine,
but like God.
is there really a man like that out there?

i was talking to pauline once,
about my frustrations and disbelief..
and wondered how can any human being be so selfish,
or so heartless to certain things.

den she replied,
"sometimes we do that to God too,
don't you think?
we were selfish towards Him as well."

human beings would normally be unhappy and question,
they need answers and explanations to certain actions.
but God just sat there and waited patiently,
still loving us..

when we rant,
God listens but seldom react.
when we cry,
He gently rubs your tears away..

i guess if we use our carnal knowledge to love,
we'll either be tired or pissed off, or even both!
but if we love others wif God's overflowing love,
wouldn't that be much easier and unconditional?

learning from dogs, and God.
i realised that what makes a stressful friendship,
or even make a stressful relationship
is snappy reactions!

meaning, if we want something
we must haf it now!
patience and rationale are never in the picture,
neither are love and wisdom.

so i wanna urge you guys,
to always always seat back.
chill first, pray, meditate.
den see what exactly was the root problem..

i know its an irony,
that me, a hot-head,
is typing all these.
but hey! pple learn along the way man..

so yep!
a moment of thought,
keeps the temper less hot!
we try okay? try.
