and what do i know of the struggles others go through?
who am i to judge this man?
when the haiti was rocked by the earthquake, i just ignored it almost. i didn't want to think about the enormity of the problem, i didn't want to look and see that my problems were insignificant, that while i was worrying about 1 life, mine, there were great many more. and then i realized, all around me there is a spiritual crisis, and i felt hopeless. what can i do to stop the waves of humanity from crashing down onto the hard rock? i overheard two guys talking. one guy was in a Jewish history class (I think) and he was just going off on the idiocy of the "christians" in his class. he then argued how one shouldn't always listen to God, citing the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (did i spell those correctly?) and the sacrifice of isaac, and how an angel not God himself came to stop abraham's hand. if only he knew. it is time to wake up. how long can you go being unaffected by the plight of this world? Oh God, give me a heart to love my brothers, my sisters and my neighbors. let me love them to death.
my heart goes out to the people who have been affected, but even more, to this man.
one of the strongest instincts man has is to survive. when faced with the possibility of losing our lives, we show extreme courage, extreme passion, extreme vigor. we may not love life, but we like to keep it. how much does one have to suffer to willingly give it up? to commit suicide? to have no hope?
a smile goes a long way. an act of kindness goes a long way. sorry for not doing enough to make the world you live in a better place, i was to busy thinking about myself. what a waste.
