Why is it that wanting righteousness, I am putting hope in man? Isn't that what we're called to do? Is it not in fact hoping that my fellow "brothers" and "sisters" do the righteous thing, placing hope in their "godly" duty? How or why is that putting hope in man if that is what they're called to do. Na wanting justice and righteousness is not putting hope in man, it's the right thing to do period. I hate the evil that man walks around in. Preaching and using scripture to tear people apart, placing themselves above the other, especially the downtrodden.
Preaching holiness, godliness and walking in pride.

To a point yes. It's true.
But I am also aware of my own weaknesses and flaws and failings, so I understand that other have them too. Different ones than mine but their own, and they are real. So because of mine I understand others.
Now this is to a point. There is a point where character defects are beyond tolerable, but that generally in someone who isn't engaging the call to Christ.

Pray for others and hope for their best. But don't put your hope, trust, and happiness solely in their hands. God is love and he won't fail you. Don't look to man, but look to God. People fail. We are all fallible. We are not to judge and hate our brother and sister, but pray for them and hope for their good.
I feel ya, though. I know if I look around at others, then it sometimes gets discouraging. But God taught me a long time ago...To put my eyes on him and look not to the left of the right, but look strait ahead to him. Meaning don't look to other people or what they are doing, and get discouraged, but look unto God. Love and pray for our brothers and sisters...

I know this probably sounds trite, but you have been on my heart since we talked about being single moms. I wanted to PM you, but I don't have access to that. I know my words can't fix what is happening, but I hope you know that you are still cared for even if by a weird stranger online. That's probably more concerning than comforting. Haha. Regardless, you are in my thoughts.

Im not looking at others to be happy or because I'm condemning them or because I feel more righteous. I have been bullied, mocked, ridiculed, ostracized my entire life from "worldly" and "Christians" alike, for no reason. And no im not talking about what happened here recently. Other things too but that's besides the point. I have not been loved or treated with love. I am not bitter, I am hurt that people who claim to love, do not. I am not angry, I am hurt that people lie. I am not evil, I am hurt that I've been treated evil. I am not a monster, I am hurt that I am looked down like one. I am not unrighteous, I am hurt that I've been treated unrighteous. I am not so many other things I've been dealt with, I am hurt that people are oblivious to what loving your neighbor like yourself actually is. I am not being "sensitive", I am hurt that people mock, ridicule, are haughty and condescending just because, that's not being too "sensitive" it's wrong period.
I would much rather be in a third world country living in those conditions and potentially having valid reasons to be hurting and in even then id probably actually be happier than I am living in a privileged country mistreated by "privileged" people.

John 6:43 Jesus answered and said to them, "Do not grumble among yourselves."
James 5:9 Don't grumble against one another, brothers and
sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
Philippians 2:14-16 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, "children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation." Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.
1 Corinthians 10:10-13 And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel. These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
Hebrews 12:15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God
and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
Romans 3:10 As it is written: "There is no one righteous, not even one;
