I know what you’re thinking. What type of question is this? Of course everyone would! Why wouldn’t I! You would have to be crazy not to let him in! Yes, this may be the answer for a little while. But once you got what you wanted, would you shun him away and move on to the next new social trend? Society has changed over the years and people have become greedy and judgmental. Once they get what they want, they want more. Give them an inch and they want a mile. And throw that blessing away like last weeks moldy lasagna. Not realizing the miracles before them but instead misusing them and making poor judgment about what has just happened to them. Bottom Line? Society needs to stop being disrespectful and abusing good things in life and learn to treat everyone the same and not be so greedy.
Now, there is a difference between not recognizing a miracle and just flat out abusing it. For example, in a short story written by Gabriel Garcia Marquez the villager show a lot of disrespect towards the old man with wings, and expect a miracle or healing in return. And even after the creature has solved a few problems (..Err more or less..) The villagers want more from him than what they can produce. And when they grew tired of the angel, they denied him. Although they may have thought nothing of leaving the angel, others may have seen them as being greedy, heart less, or even cruel. There are stories in the bible about Peter denying God (John 18; 15-27).
Overall, society is just very rude, and greedy. How can you expect someone to do something nice for you, but you bully and abuse them all the time? In the story Pelayo and his wife fed the angel and gave him a place to regroup instead of shunning him away. And in return the child woke up with a desire to eat and no fever. So learn from the story and be kind and kindness will come right back to you.
Dynastiee,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading this blog post very much. I agree with your views on how people would use Jesus up and then shun him. I like how you connected your commentary to the story because it flowed very well and sounded very professional.

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this and I like how you said "Society has changed over the years and people have become greedy and judgmental." People think its all about them i really agree with that. Muy Bien.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this also, I like how you said "there is a difference between not recognizing a miracle and just flat out abusing it."
ReplyDeleteThe Question You Started Off With Is Amazing.. Makes You Wanna Read More. I Love How You Said "Yes, this may be the answer for a little while." This Just Make You See How People Use Others For Their Own Selfish Reason.
