Sometimes, existing words just won’t cut it. Though I don’t expect differ-culty to make it into formal dictionaries, it is the best I can think of to describe my meaning. If you ever have a disagreement with how something works, like getting a loan, you find it difficult because your opinion differs from the other party’s. See, it almost resembles something that makes sense.

Speaking from my point of view, I find it inconvenient, at best, when something doesn’t go the way I think it should. Let’s use a ball game for an example. Watching a ball game, I often see plays that I would have done differently. I can give you other options and reasons for the options, but there is a big problem with anything I suggest. I generally don’t have a clue what I’m talking about.

I don’t play sports; I tend to play poorly if I do play. That is a detriment off the bat. There’s more, though. I don’t know the end goal for the team, except to win. They have some sort of strategy that they didn’t tell me about. Unless I am able to see the bigger picture behind their plays, I may not have any worthwhile ideas.

So why do I make suggestions (especially to the TV)? I’d like to be able to tell you it is because I care and want to make the world a better place. But that would be lying. The real reason is because I think I know better, my pride comes out.

I do the same with God. Something happens in my life, and I question it. I think I know better than God, because “I’m here, I know what is needed.” How can I really know more than the Creator of the universe? I can’t, but I still find myself trying. I’d like to get to the point that I don’t question God, but the pride has to go first.
