BECAUSE GOD SAID SO

by : whencrissytalkstheylisten

My heart sigh with heaviness. I am really a sentimental fool, I may not exactly put all my words into actions, but, I am deeply concern about world peace. The word "peace" doesn't entirely have to something with all those bright flashy smiles of beauty queens and politicians. I myself, maybe not too obvious, can easily be affected hearing sad news about hunger,wars,infirmities,poverty,terrorism,communicable diseases and other related problem that besets us.

Recently there are news about US suffering from a huge decline in their stock market. A lot of huge companies are in the list of candidates for bankruptcy. U.S being the most powerful nation can affect the financial stability of other countries, especially those who belong to the so called third world countries. I knew nothing about stock exchange,GNP,world currency, monetary funds and other economic terms, but, in my own translation of these recent developments, we will all be facing more financial instability in the near future.

Hunger and Poverty.

Whenever I see images of people flashed in the tv with a hunger stricken face, it always bring tears to my eyes. I couldn't face hunger and poverty. Human as we all are have this basic need to eat. And I cannot imagine people who feed on water alone lest those who sleep the night away with an empty stomach. I know how hard it is to go through one day without eating. And the saddest part of it all, is that they dont have any options to alleviate their plight. It ached me a lot to see people who die because of hunger, children who suffer from malnutrition and people who beg alms in order to survive.

With the recent news, am not adamant that our world in the next 20 years will become so filthy and unbearable place to survive. I wish our future children will not suffer much. I wish years from now, we can still grab the time to sit and peacefully talk about life and not having to worry about what to eat and how to survive. I wish we can have the grandiose time to spend on things like Multiply and blogging. Because, no matter how positive we think of what the future will be like, we all have to prepare for the worst to come.

Having education pension plans, health insurance and other assurance of a great future will not guarantee of a life long comfortable days. It is still uncertain how bleak or bright the future will be like. What matters now, is the present. How we shape our future can be determined how we live our present. I dont want to be rich. I dont want to be rich and be snob. I dont dream of having a mansion nor driving my own jaguar or masarati. I just wanted to have options,choices and options how to live my life accordingly. I just dont want to die young and having not experience being happy at all. I dont want to think about dying and infirmities. As much as possible I dont want to watch tv and read newspapers, I just dont want to pollute my brain with all the negativity.

I see life as beautiful as I picture it. Diseases and death are inevitable, and the whole thought of "suffering" is still hard for me to digest. But, Life is more than being comfortable and gay. Life is beautiful despite the hunger and sufferings we have to bear. As long as I am breathing, Life will always be beautiful. As long as I can stand with my own two feet, the world will still be livable.

God sees our heart. God destroys even the most powerful city as stated in the Bible. God sent curse to those who were high minded and obscene. God sent the great flood and destroyed the earth in 40 days. God sent plaques. God alone has the power to destroy our world. If we suffer now and face hunger, it is just God's one way of testing our faith in HIM.

I see life beautifully, because God created me to live in the place he completely made in 6 days. He gave us trials and pain that we can bear. In all sufferings I have to go through, I offer all of it to the Creator. I cannot keep my eyes closed and my ears deaf unto the filthiness of the world. I have to bear what I have to bear. One thing for sure though, that whatever happens, I was created by God to experience it all, and in case I have to gone through the needle point because of trials and problems, IT IS BECAUSE GOD SAID SO...
