So here's the thing...
The last few months I've been working with the social services, having a lot of nice colleagues, doing what I can to make the everyday easier for those in need of help. It has been a nice few months, but right now I find myself without a job, without a stabil place to live and somehow I guess you could relate it to many of my former clients. Of course you have to subtract the fact that I do this voluntarily, but as I said: I guess you can somehow relate it...
Anyways, why I write this note, is because I'm fortunate enough to have options. Not just a few, but a whole lot of options! I can basically do anything I want if I put my mind to it and I can trace that back to the fact that I was born into a good family. They gave me those options by raising me in a good way, helping me with all the stuff I needed help with, and showing me what was important in life. But how come I was so lucky and not everyone else? Shouldn't everyone have the privilege of choosing their own way of life, their line of education and work, their mate, what to eat? I believe so, but so much for wishful thinking...cause this world sucks, when it comes down to it! People starve, people sleep outside because they have to, people are forcefully married, people can't choose what to east because it might only be a handfull of rice for them that day. This world is not as it should be!!!
So what, you can say: It's the only one we've got! Sure enough, but that doesn't have to mean it is the only way it can be...
I have read about a way of living that includes giving people options, showing them love and acceptance unconditionally and making sure nobody has to starve. It is even how this world was intended to be. I tell you, I'd love to see this world be like that again. Check out the 4 gospels, maybe you'll start longing and striving for a better world too.
