BGF has been bugging me to post, complete with a hammering-on-the-head emoticon.
Nothing much is new. I have *almost* no life. I work and I rest. I work and I rest. That’s about it. I haven’t been downtown in soo many months that I had no idea that they had bulldozed the park, the only decent place to get some fresh air, to make space for yet another ginornous mall full of the same boutiques and restaurants, topped with the same boring office space and the same swanky rip-you-off apartments.
I guess that’s why I haven’t been blogging. Every issue that comes up is something to lament or rant about.
There is so much evil in this world. Two weeks ago, the headline news on a Saturday morning is the conviction of a man who assaulted several women. To make things worse, these are women who came to our little mother island in search of a better life, in a place where they hear is safe and good. For the most part, we are. This is still one of the few places in the world where women can walk around at night without fear. But specimens like this guy (I’m trying not to use the a****** or b****** word on him) are changing life as we know it. It grieves me deeply to read about how the women are coping with the aftermath. I couldn’t even finish reading the news article.
Not a day goes by when there are not news reports of rapes, molestations, incestual rapes, statutory rapes, assaults and such. What is this world coming to?
How many times have we heard, on those reality TV shows, that the contestant was sooo sexy *yeeeha* or not sexy enough *bleah*? Even home appliances are being advertised as having sexy silhouettes. In a home visit program, one lady was explaining that she likes her dining table very much because “the curves are so sexy”. What?! Are we living in Sodom and Gomorrah now?
Yahweh, we need your righteousness! Teach us how to be righteous.
