Nice, the pupils are very small. It gives a very menacing look from my experience.

Ya know, I knew the criticism was a bit much with that last image. I know how it is to bee too concerned with doing things "right" and not enjoying the experience like I should. I broke down too, and it wasn't good. When you start thinking your worth comes from how well you do, it can only lead to depression because our worth never was about how well we did at things. And once someone who does better comes along (and there will always be someone better), we feel our worth has been compromised, because then what we do isn't as good quality as other people's stuff. That makes us feel that we are worthless. Also when a person thinks that their worth comes from something like their possessions, or their tallent, or stuff like that, they become overly critical of others. It becomes a competition to be the best so we don't end up feeling worthless. When our mind thinks like this, it is apparent with how we criticize others, because it shows how we think, that our worth comes from our abilities. Where does this thinking come from? It may be that a person wants to be loved by others, or wants someone to like them, and they find out that when someone does well at something, it gets people's attentions. Sadly, we will then begin to believe that our worth comes from our abilities or possessions, or appearance, and all kinds of other things that are not the true measure of a person's worth. There's things that can lead to this kind of thinking. For example, being dissapointed by someone you love. My dad dropped me off at my mom's back in '97. He left to Nashville and left me at my mom's old run down house that didn't have enough food or even running water. I'm not only talking to Piccolo, I'm also talking to Radium. We get to feeling that we are worthless, and we have to do something to earn other people's appreciation. That is not true. God has given every person worth, and loves ever single one of us, reguardless of our abilities. When I heard that so many times before, it went into my ears, but I didn't really believe it. Ya know what? We were never ment to serve our abilities. Our abilities are not meant to be our masters. They were made for us, and also so we may have a way to bless others. Never listen to anyone who says your worth is based on your abilities. A person's worth reaches far beyond any stupid abilities. Yeah, I call them stupid. They are stupid compared to what a person's real worth is. I don't care if a person can draw anything they want freehand, or even if they own a whole country and millions of dollars. It is all worthless compared to the worth of that person. And in all of that, if that person looks to all that stuff for his worth, he will find himself empty still. In the words of Matthew, "What profit is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul. Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?" On that day that God created man in the garden, he looked at his work and said, "It is very good". Every human is a priceless work of art. We are not some descendants of dumb worthless monkeys. We are created in the image of God. We don't need any fancy abilities to get our worth. Fancy clothes are in style one moment, then sent to the second hand store the next. Our worth doesn't come from fancy things. If it did, then we would be in big trouble once we go out of style. Looking back at what Jesus did, he showed that a man has worth beyond outward appearances. He died on the cross for people who hated him and rejected him and gave him much grief. He did it because He loves us, and there is worth in every human that can't be seen with our eyes. He saw the worth in even the people who hated him the most, and he loved them. He may not have liked them, but he loved them, and us, all. And he still does.

And so some people may not like that I'm talking about Jesus, but I'm not ashamed that I know the answer is Jesus Christ, the salvation of all mankind.

Oh, and friends that only accept you when you preform for them aren't real friends, and you can't get real friends as well if you don't come out from behind the shell of your abilities. Yeah, you are going to have to be yourself, and when you think that being yourself is hurtful, it can be very hard. As one of my old gradeschool teachers said, "the word friend ends with the word 'end' because friends are friends to the end". ^_^ A real friend can see the worth beneath all outward appearances. In todays society, people who look beyond outward appearances aren't the majority. Kinda like people who think a game is great if it has awesome graphics but poor gameplay. That is the way the modern US society thinks. So vain. The bible says that the person who finds a friend finds a great treasure, or something. :P Yeah, it doesn't say "or something" in the bible. That's just my interperatation.

Man... I hate long posts, they are just so darn much to read. And this time, I'm the one who wrote it. I believe it is good info, though.
