To Judge or Not ....?

I am not a proponent of anti God activities – au contraire I try to follow a narrow path.  However, there are so many ideals and thoughts that are being shoved down our throats that I am rather confused about what people are trying to get across.  A couple of months ago I happened to meet someone who does not believe in religious segregation. Hearing the individual chalk out various aspects pertaining to the why’s and why not's I was brought back to reality.  Jesus came to save everyone not just a few.  It is a few of us who follow Him.  But in the bargain, we get blindsided in trying to get our points out there by force feeding many to convert to our belief.  Christianity is love and force feeding is not the idea.  If we love God and follow His Commandments then we are on the right track.  However, prejudice across various hues is not right.

So back to the enlightened person I met.  He is of the opinion that we live in one world and we need to endorse this so that equal privileges are allotted to everyone. But who can follow this road?  I happened to watch a program on telly a couple of days ago and saw a ‘devout’ person sitting on the dais incorporating mass hypnotism.  It was really amusing watching people move about like they were puppets!  I guess we are like lost sheep and when we notice someone wielding a wand we believe that we are reformed and follow the leader with blind faith.  

Sometime back there was a well known preacher who visited our city.  I was advised by practically everyone I knew against this as they considered the individual to be a fraud.  Now there is a part of me that hasn’t got rid of the rebellious streak and it tends to get out when I am told “not to do” something.  So instead of following the many who claimed fraud, I decided to go there and attend the worship gathering.  I must say I was pleasantly surprised and felt nice after attending the meet.  No doubt the helicopter drop on the pulpit made a great entrance and got the crowd clapping… but all in all, it was a nice show.  Yeah I call it a show because that is what it seemed like.  However, to give the man his due, the meeting was peaceful and the audience calm and prayerful. 

With many people opting for same sex unions, we the straight ones take it upon ourselves in denying these individuals a right to live.  But who gave us the right to judge anyway?  By condemning people because they do not fit in doesn’t constitute that they are going down.  What makes us - the ‘righteous’ many think that we are going to heaven anyways?  Only God knows that.  If this post strikes you that I am endorsing this form of life, heck no, far from it. 

So I guess what we are trying to seek here is the way to God - the staircase that leads us to heaven.  Along the way, we make mistakes. While all of us slip along the way, how can we sit in judgment about another human being and ostracize them because of xyz.  Live and let live.  Accept and we will be accepted.  Judge and you will be judged.   Look before you leap, think before you speak… try and try until we achieve a spotless glow. 

What do you think me darlings? To accept or not to accept that is the question isn’t it?

XoXo

Water Woe

Here’s a problem about the water scene that’s plaguing our city with the authorities taking a lackadaisical attitude about our woeful situation. Guess privatization of this inactive force needs to be the hour of the day. What say? The heat at this time of the year in Feb is rather pinching and I really wonder what it’s gonna be like in the coming months. Here’s hoping that some rain will give us a breather and in consequence fill the reservoirs and enable the water man to actually attend to our ardent need. Moving on from the tale of gloom, with the onset of summer it’s time for the sleek and svelte to don the most happening items in vogue and show off their splendid bods. To the rest of us metabolically slow, we trudge the path of heat with the longing that this brand of ‘exercise’ (or lack of it) would shed the unwanted girth! Anyways, it’s a good time I guess both ways, coz everyone maybe a winner because..........the heat is on! ....... but not the ones with lack of water...

Happy Birthday Mama Mary

I sit here thumping away on the keyboard wondering about what to write and it dawns on me…… Many years ago when I was a young girl I was approached by a lady in Church to play the role of Mother Mary. She wanted to put up this enactment about the apparition of Mary to a group of children. I did not know who the person was and was surprised - my first thought was to decline as I was extremely shy. However, she did not pressurize me and instead asked me to think about it and after doing so and sharing it with the folks, I accepted the role. This play went on for about fifteen minutes but they were the best moments of my life. Many years have gone by…but this wonderful memory remains with me always. However, I feel sad at the number of people who do not acknowledge Our Lady. Jesus said “Son this is your mother and mother this is your son” and thus we embrace Mary as our blessed mother. She, as any mother, helps us with our problems, intercedes on our behalf and in return we than...

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou...

The Price of Public Humiliation

Two-Faced You know there are people who claim to be pals just to look cool. I had this conversation with a close friend who couldn’t understand why a couple of her Facebook friends ignored her in person. After our chat, it finally dawned on her that the so called friends just wanted a long list to appear hip. She updated her status and vented her frustration. An amusing story here - the same people who ignored her added their two bits about public humiliation and gave it the thumbs down signal. Weird don't you think? Plastic Smiles How would you like it if relatives followed the same principle? In public spaces they turn away pretending they do not know you leaving you dumbfounded. Here is something that happened to a couple of friends. They received invitations for a wedding where everyone attended the blessed event. To cut a long story short, my friends and their families were ignored and treated like social pariahs by closest members of the family! When they came face-to-f...
