Facing the World in Adversity
Bombing in World Trade Center building. The 9/11 terrorist attack. Chaos in Afghanistan. War in Iraq. Tsunamis all over Asia. Mankind has been facing its major threats to its existence since Cuban missile crisis engulfed the world during the 1960's. In the twinkling of an eye the world might become filthy fragments floating in the hollow space. Different nations have tried to console the United States on the terrorist attack on their sovereignty. Thousand lives have expressed anger and disappointment on how President Bush handles their external affair. 'If Bush was not that power-grabber and war freak, and if he was just minding his own affair with his own people,' says one American, "then these things would not happen'. It's too difficult not to say anything when lives of your loved ones were lost, that even a fine psychologist would not swear not talking when confronted with the same situation. And when their hatred tries to fix everything, retaliation could be the best application they would think of. And so it came to be a burden of one famous and infamous Osama Bin Laden. And attack began again, this time on Afghanistan, with its hordes of Taliban. And now who opened the Pandora's box? and who are going to suffer?
Hope dashes as television networks showed footage of the destroyed villages and ruined lives. With thousand services needed and billion dollars needed to withdraw to cover up the moans, the losses, the scattered futures of the victims, how do we, as common men, as part of the mankind, confront these situations? With bombings and terrorist acts all over the world, how do we, as non-military people, as men just trying to make a living, confront these situations? It does not matter whatever devastation or disaster we have to face. It was encouraging to know that some of the famous people of our era are doing their parts in helping the innocent victims of the disaster. It hit the shores of Thailand, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and India. Do you have to get the ID of someone who is dying before you help him? Or when the church is involved, how do they act? By just telling people to pray and pray? God have mercy! We are not saying that it's wrong to pray. We were made with a morality, and it is by doing good, that we are truly assessed as a moral, ethical person. Even the Bible undoubtedly affirms it. This world cannot survive without the help of one another. It was the worst recorded disaster of all time with over 200,000 dead and still thousands missing. When the term 'cause and effect' is reasoned in a wrong way, it is simply non-sense to point out who the culprits are. As for the theologians who will rethink of their studies and apply more convincing arguments about the nature of God as a 'supreme being of supreme goodness', there is no need for them to open their Bibles. The worst was in Indonesia, where over 100,000 have been found dead.
