TGIF !! ... Today is Friday, 11-11-11 and since the weekend is here & most of us will be visiting our respective house of worship, let us not forget that going down on our knees or raising-up our hands or joss-sticks to the Almighty is meaningless, if we continue the destruction of the world our Lord has created by indiscriminate looting of the world’s resources.
We have been invited to tend God’s garden, ie. we have been invited to be partners with God in participating in His work of creation by continuing the preservation & cultivation of his garden .. the Planet Earth. Thus we are co-workers in God’s creation which is always a Work-In-Progress. By our work we provide goods & services and an environment that makes other peoples’ lives better.
However we have become a decadent, reckless and an over-consuming species. We are out of control when it comes to eating and hell-bent on destroying our planet-earth and ourselves by what & how much we eat. Our people are eating so much that we can see many walking around like polar bears in MidValley.
Let’s not admire the cherry blossoms of Japan or the twin towers of Malaysia whilst chewing-up the sharks, the whales, the seals, the eels, the snakes, the frogs, the birds, the snakes, the dogs etc. & excuse ourselves by saying that it is in our culture or for health reasons. It is common to see many of our locals bringing foreigners to taste all these so called ‘exotic’ food. Let us EAT to LIVE and not LIVE TO EAT as what we eat impacts our health, our environment & the paradise that our God created. We have been invited to tend God’s garden … not invited to gobble-up everything that walks, crawls, flies, swims etc. & invite foreigners who visit the country to share in this appetite for destruction.
God’s garden is not only the flora & fauna, but also the oceans, the rivers, the lakes, the seas, the air, the hills & the forests and everything that lives in them. By our greed we are also destroying animal habitats resulting in many cows & buffalos now roaming all over town especially in shopping complexes like MidValley with animal trinkets, purses & handbags.
Have a wonderful & God filled weekend as we spare a moment listening to Lewis Armstrong’s “What a Wonderful world”. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
