“And so this is Christmas and what have we done, another year over and a new one just begun Another quote from John Lennon, 20 years dead this year. From the terrible tsunami of last year thru hurricanes and more earthquakes, have we learnt any more about how to live on this fragile earth, that we call home. The response to the people affected by the tsunami was gratifying, almost a redemption of the human spirit of reaching out and hepling our fellow human beings in trouble. Then to the feeble response to the Kashmir earthquake where the indifference of the wealthy countries is evidence of a lack of compassion still ruling our way of living.
Still a lot of growing up to do. Compassion and love are energies far greater than economics and yet we seem bereft of the former because of our immersion in the latter. We are still blind to our true potential. The great lesson that Jesus is pointing to, demonstrating, is love. 2005 Chistmasses have come and gone and still we have not heard, Christmas is all about an economic bonanza and the truth lies dormant year on year. time to wake up to the truth and start loving. Peace and happiness.
