T he only good news that we ought to know and remember is that Jesus Christ had already won the war against sin and death. He has made it possible for us to join Him in the afterlife. All we need now to do is accept Him as He is. God is alive today and it may be sometimes be difficult to see this. The world and its demonic nature has still made it look like that only worldly things matter and that the ultimate goal of each one is to achieve their own personal happiness. This is the biggest lie of all, that we should do all to make us happy. Individual happiness at the expense of someone else is the biggest deception of all. The truth is, our lives are never really about us. It is ultimately about God and about others. It is about how you can provide and give joy even at our own expense. This is the model of ultimate and genuine love that Jesus shown us at the cross. "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s frie...
“You cannot serve two masters at the same time. You will hate one master and love the other. Or you will be loyal to one and not care about the other. You cannot serve God and Money at the same time.” The Pharisees were listening to all these things. They criticized Jesus because they all loved money. Jesus said to them, “You make yourselves look good in front of people. But God knows what is really in your hearts. What people think is important is worth nothing to God.
-Luke 16:13-15
30 lost lives is 30 lost lives. It doesn't matter much if it is 30 out of a 100 or out of 300,000. 30 people will no longer be able to hug their loved ones anymore. For the past days, on average I think, at least 30 people die daily because of our drive to learn to live with the milder Omicron variant of Covid-19. The Australian government and other first world governments have recently decided that we must not do lockdowns anymore because it is killing businesses specially the small to medium ones.
It is not by any means an easy decision but it just looks grim for now for people who are a little bit more vulnerable than the average. Like, in schools, kids aren't allowed to bring peanut butter or eggs because of a small number of kids that have allergies. The majority is willing to sacrifice for the few and I think that is great.
But with the Covid situation, it feels like that we are placing the minority in the line of fire for the good of the most and for the good of business. I cringe to think that its mostly because of the latter. I know we can't live like this forever but mate, if even people who are triple vaxxed are among the ones dead in the daily count, for me it looks like that we are going survival-of-the-fittest mode.
And this can backfire real bad. Remember Covid 19 just came out of the blue and bit us in the ass. So did, Covid Delta and so did Covid Omicron. People are even now talking about Omicron BA2 or something.
