Just how uncertain is your next breath? Considering
there has been 2 movie theater attacks in the past month; I would say, “Very
uncertain”. I would go as far as to say, “Where can a person go and really feel
comfortable?” We live in a society that glorifies violence in entertainment;
from cage fighting to graphic horror flicks and we act stunned and bewildered
when a person goes into a church and kills 9 innocent people. We are
dumbfounded when a man beheads his wife, and kills his pets, only after he
tears an eye out of his eye socket and amputates a limb.
If people are being used as target practice
inside of a bible study, what makes us believe that we are safe at a doctor’s
appointment? This life is so frail that even a firearm cannot ensure our
safety. We have created a culture where every human has to be on high alert
while at the store, pumping gas, at school, in the park, on the road, at
church, in the movies, at the doctor, at work and yes, even while we sleep. How
can compassion be demonstrated in a blood soaked culture; where even “Good
Samaritans are gunned down for attempting to assist someone who appears to be
stranded on the side of the road?
ANSWER: We are either going to degrade
ourselves into animals; creating a human version of Animal Planet, in which we
destroy one another OR we make the “Choice” to
LOVE.
