Desiring True Love (A Christian Fiction)

Chapter 2 Part 1: Friends

Day 1 (April 5 2027.)

Hannah.

The lies and truths revealed before our eyes..
Majority of my friends are either oversensitive or insensitive.
They ought to leave you for your differences.

A talk with Charlotte, my BFF.

The winds whistles and the leaves flies,
In the library of our school, the silence was sound.

"You ever thought about what's next in life after Senior High?" She said.

College? Work? Passions? There are a lot.

"No, what I mean is what's gonna happen next right after Senior High, what if we were to enter into chaos. Majority of our class's agenda is to do stupid things, how about you? What's your agenda this summer break?"

My agenda?

"Yes." She said with a curious look.

Not quite sure, I'm lost at that topic. Although I think I'd focus more on my family.

As I look outside for a view. There I saw a feminism activist in the courtyard.

And as I pondered her question, I suddenly thought about her goals as a feminism supporter.

Why does feminism exist anyway, it's merely meaningless now.

Hey.

"Yeah?"

What's your agenda this summer.

"Probably going to focus on my passions, arts and crafts. Why?"

You're a feminist right?

"Yeah why?"

As she said those words she looked out the window to see the same feminist I was looking at.

I struggled for a second, then continued.

Why do you think feminism exists?

"To equalize men and women?"

Is it really like it anymore?

That doesn't seem like it though.

"How come?"

Seriously? I need to elaborate?

Feminists spread a message with hate and pride. Some impose illogical ideologies like Astrology and Karma, some discriminate masculinity, some impose hatred unto their people. It isn't seeking equality anymore, it's seeking our demise.

"You're against feminism now? I thought you'd be much more logical to think that majority of women fight for their rights."

She doesn't get it, feminism is foolish in the right eyes. It doesn't impose a righteous battle, it's destroying itself.

You don't get me.

"You don't get me? You're the one who doesn't get the idea of feminism here."

I get the idea of feminism, but this one is illogical and worthless.

"Sexual assault and harassment is all around the world and feminism is fighting against it. How is that worthless?"

If sexual assault and harassment happens because of men, shouldn't we, as women, correct them? encourage them to get stronger so that they can reject their sexual desires? because if they are weak, how will they hold back such desires with weak willpower?

"I'm done with this friendship. You don't understand, an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth."

Desire.

A lot of my friends don't understand. If it's an eye for an eye, we'd all be blind.

Couldn't think such thoughts were to change me. Although, it was just right.

A talk with Sam, my classmate.

As I looked at last year's yearbook, I saw Sam's picture and suddenly I got curious about this Christian guy.

Hey Sam.

"Yeah what's up?"

Wanna grab a snack later?

"A snack?"

In-N-Out?

"Ah sure."

What do you think about friends, like arguing with them. What do you do?

"Quite unsure, when arguing with them it's best to speak truth and stay silent."

"He who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgement, whoever insults his brither will be liable to the council; and whoever says, 'you fool!' will be liable to the hell of fire."

Where'd you get that idea?

"An idea? not quite. But a truth? In the Bible."

A truth he says, I smiled in excitement as to it's beauty.

Although there comes a thought, a misconception towards Christianity.

I wanted to know about it,

Say, why do people think biblical people indulge into sexual follies?

"Probably because of some priests being accused of sexual charges."

"How about you, what would've you done if you were to be in an argument?"

I'd probably not hold back, Haha.

"Can't blame you." He smiled.

What makes you Christians think that God is real?

"Because He is love."

'Love' huh.

"Majority of this world thinks love is a feeling, not quite. The heart is deceitful of all things."

"Love is seeking what is best for you. And God is what's best for you."

I don't understand it.

How can I know this?

"You're like my friend, Judas."

Judas, isn't that man the one who betrayed Christ?

Who is he?

"My brother in Christ."

"Back to topic, How can you know love? You can't unless you seek it, unless you seek or know Christ. God's love is misunderstood because they haven't tasted the wonderful bread we have. You can't know the taste of our bread unless you eat it."

Then how about love between friends?

"What about it?"

What is friendship between Christianity like?

"A friendship that fixes I guess."

Fixes what?

"A friendship that fixes our spirit and heart, a friendship that does not leave each other despite anger."

"It's a friendship that circles around Christ's love."

I desire to know more.
