Something happened today which kinda set me thinking for a while.
It's something about avoidance. If we choose to avoid something and not face up to it, rather than face up to it and come out of it much stronger, we actually are running away.
Some may think that christians should not read harry potter, but i beg to differ. What we are reading is basically just a fiction book. Made up of fictitious characters. Yes, i agree that living in a world of magic is what many want to do. But i believe that no matter it all, harry potter teaches us something. There is no perfect place on Earth. No matter how people create an ideal place, there will always be bad and evil. We cannot run away from it. Harry may have gotten out of many wrong things he did, like attacking malfoy or even lying. However, i believe he paid the price by losing all the loved ones around him. Besides, who can judge us on Earth? We may be able to lie and deceive everyone one Earth, but can we do the same to God? no.. ultimately we still have to await judgement when the time comes.
A case scenerio. Someone who is trapped in a plastic bubble for 5 years, away from this sinful world says that he is sinless for 5 years after he comes out. Another person, who is living in this sinful world, says that he is sinless after he lives there for 5 years. Now, who is the one who is really sinless? The one who doesn't know what sin is and not commit it, or the person who KNOWS what sin is and yet not commit it. I guess the answer is obvious.
Well.. i guess this is just a thought for the day. Ciaos and time to hit the books again.
