Teach Them How To Love

10 February, 2006

Gossh.. It's only the cartoon for fun, they react outrageously. What have happened to these people? Mind you to use your sense of humor? Somehow I couldn't understand what's on their minds by attacking other people who have no connection with the issue. Don't you have anything else to take care instead of fighting for nothing? Move on, guys! Life is short, life is tough and life is hard. Make it meaningful to yourself and your family!


Weird but true.. the issue has been exist last year (Sep '05) when one newspaper in Europe published the caricatures of somebody's prophet whose believers all over the world. Then the news has spread slowly over many countries just like a virus. The controversy began on fire early this year, 5 months later after the first issue. In my opinion, there must be some group of people out of nowhere with same interest have influenced bunch of people in the same religion to start the war against other religion. Seems they were working on it so organized to make their people in every nation getting upset and encouraged them to bring up the issue emotionally in international forum. They threatened to bomb offices and churches, they acted cruel and brutal, they kidnaped some foreigners who live in hotels and apartments. What's wrong with these people? Why their mind-set is always full of evil spirit who loves fighting, hatred, brutalism, whatever you like to name it?


Our Bible says "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also (Matthew 5:39); But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you (Matthew 5:44)". Clearly it teaches us how to love one and another no matter what. The point of LOVE here is not merely such a requirement matter in Christianity but mostly a command that Jesus gave us to live with.

So, what's about you? Have you recognized LOVE in your faith?
