Justification

In early algebra, there's a rule that states 'the means must always justify the extremes'. I'll take this in 2 cases: everyday life and of course my most popular topic lately, relationships.

1st: For about a year now I've been put through a series of faith tests. In the beginning, I was failing them left, right, and center because I didn't know what they were. Then I began praying more and trusting a lil more because I had to but I realized that the tests were getting a lil harder. I believe that when it comes to myself and my qualities, I tend to be a pretty honest person. I know what I can and cannot do and tend not to extend past my limitations but just from a few words people say, a scripture I might read one day, or the sermon topic one of my fav preachers would give began to tear me up something SERIOUS. I'm doin some more self-evaluations and trying to get it all together and when I finally get the balls and backbone to tell my full story people will begin to understand why my new favorite line has become: TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE!!! Right now, He's pulling some majors strings, I just pray that keeps me grounded and faithful while I allow Him to FULLY take it over.

2nd: I am a firm believer in reciprosity, where if I give an amount, your amount should equal and in some cases exceed my set amount, if you can help it. No competition, but if I love with a certain level of love and loyalty, I expect it back because this is extended to a very few and it gets pretty intense. Now if you say you love someone and they say it back but you love "differently" should you be upset if they don't feel they didn't have to do something or if given a situation you would have sent flowers and a card and they felt a phone call would suffice, do you have room to be upset? I mean who defines where the bar should be set? If you've had a situation tear you and up and mess with your mind for sometime, when is it finally time to say 'I've had enough' for the last time? At what point are you no longer a helpless romantic, when do you become the glut for punishment? If they say it plagues them too, is that an excuse to keep your hopes open or is it just a mechanism used to draw you back into a battle you thought you won and should you go back through the battle have you really lost? If the feelings are gone, why can't you be friends? Does it have to be totally equal on both parts, which side should give more, in this case which means justify the extremes to which the heart goes???

Ok, I'm done rambling...
