Today, i tried something new, and maybe 'weird' for the people around me, I did not laugh at any of the fun 'dirty' jokes that i used to laugh at, just cuse everyone else did. It was hard, and part of the relationship must have been lost like that...but you know, why laugh at something you don't even agree with. I felt bad overall, cuse i make the other person feel bad for telling the joke. It's just instant, "conflict, tension" right there.
Like, i didn't even know how long i could keep it up, i just gave it a try, and it was REAL hard. And i don't exactly feel good after doing it either, but i wanted to show my christian identity. And i don't think laughing/agreeing with un-glorifying jokes is a good way for ppl to see you as a christian (know what i mean?). I don't know if that's a good way though. Cause how would you feel, if i didn't laugh at your jokes? disrespect? disagreement? dis-friendliness (if that's even word). Well, you'd feel stupid for sure, if you're the only one that thinks it's funny, and no one laughs at all. But yea, in my case, I was like an outcast? who rebeled and went against his joke, when people would be laughing. So he'd be like "What the heck".
NOT conforming with the world, and being transformed by Jesus is NOT very easy. It takes an effort to establish that relationship first.

--//I think It’s good to be funny. Being humorous is a good thing. But if you fail, people don’t like it either, so what should the action be. It's very hard. Sometimes even when you try, it's still not enough. What more can you do? It's hard in this world out there.
