initiation

I am pleased to have this medium for sharing anonymous musings, ranting, and other inspired words.

I write what I want, seeking truth and understanding in a troubled world.

So here I go...

I heard today that the Galapagos Islands, the source of Charles Darwin's research, is suffering because of the tourist trade. It nets $400,000,000 a year, but it doesn't reach the residents there. There is no hospital. There are poor people living there asking for help every day. On top of that, the indigenous life is dying.

Spead the love, people.

I heard a great second-hand quote from the author of "Backstabbing for Beginners":

"Politics is a battle of interests, masquerading as principle."

How true. I think that statement applies to mainstream civilization as well, who lives according to what is legal, instead of what is moral. Two popular examples of that philosophy are homosexuality and abortion.

I think it's very telling of where society is going, when people fight, push, petition, sue and protect others solely based on their sexual behavior. What is really sad is the twisted comparison made between the gay rights movement and what happened during Dr. King's day. King struggled for equality for black people, based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom he preached about. He didn't fight for respect of destructive sexual lifestyles.

I think we need to stop feeding cheap thrills, and start seeking God. Otherwise, we become twisted in ourselves and lose grasp on what is good. It hurts to see others so lost in the world, rather than living in the spirit.
