senseless killing

i woke up at 1245pm today. greeted by fresh chaos in Mumbai (Bombay), and followed the tense situation on the local & cable tv stations. theres enough chaos in the world already to keep reporters busy and i believe countless sleepness nights. what in the world is happening?

yay. Jesus Christ is coming soon. We can all be righteous again! We can be liberated in our constant struggles with sin! We can be with our Father forever without any sadness or worries again!!

People are getting more and more corrupt, God has given them over to sin. How disgusted i felt when the guys in army hacked a harmless komodo dragon or lizard into 2, just for the sake of fun in Australia. You know how senseless and murderous they all looked? All of them surrounded a single tree which the frightened creature was parched atop, and they proceeded to chop the tree down, then gave chase to the creature and then hacking it to death. If causing death isn't enough to satisfy their animalistic ravenous hunger, to dissect the poor corpse will do the job. Its only completed when they take a photo with the head of the creature in a victorious pose. I felt so sick and disgusted and angry. Right down to my stomach. But i realise its the state of humans in this present age.

Years ago, my bible study teacher answered a question posed by another person on whether killing an ant is considered a sin. She had this reply, 'you have to ask yourself why you want to kill that ant. If that act is done out of no reason, then it reveals the character that you have. whether its unwarranted anger, or you're just being cruel and have that kind of murderous thought.'

I muttered a prayer to God as i followed the updates on tv throughout the afternoon. Please if you're reading this, do just remember the world and its people in your next prayer.
Bangkok, Mumbai, financial crisis (people who've lost their jobs, people who're worried about the future, governments who're under pressure to rescue...)

So while the tv is switched on, I continued to read my book...... today is rest day...
