Imagine That

Imagine that everyone was well-fed. A world without poverty. Where everyone could return home to a well-stocked kitchen, a hearty dinner, and a loving family.

Imagine that there was no divorce. Families would not break up, and childrens' lives would not be shattered. A world where a child would be raised under the loving care of his/her parents, and grow up to be a civic, right-minded person.

Imagine that God manifests himself to everyone in this world. There would be no conflict of religion. No ambiguities, no confusion. There would be no Muslim extremist terrorism. Everyone would know who's in charge of the world.

But if poverty did not exist, more problems will creep out of the woodwork. You won't be hungry. You'll be fat instead, for example.

But then again, who says that a solid family upbringing will build up a child well? To quote, the Bible speaks of Ishmael, a man whose hand will be against all around him. Despite the best efforts of his family. Things happen.

And then again, if you were God, creating humans to be special beings with free will, would you make all that pointless by making them worship you out of fear?

Guess it's not so easy to imagine your worries away, huh? There will always be something.


Sitting here, before this computer screen, I suddenly felt nostalgic. All my JC friends that I haven't seen for months, years even. Most of them have moved on with their lives, but sometimes I like to look back. I hope they look back once in a while too.


I was thinking about something I wrote before (link here). And I realized that I don't write about that stuff anymore. I don't know, maybe people just don't read, or they can't be bothered either way. But.. I'll have to consider revisiting it sometime.

Perhaps someone will take notice this time.
