i’m sitting here trying to be jazzed about my vacation away from reality, but all the while the television is screaming about katrina and its victims. Saying these people have lost everything is an understatement and when they say that there are somethings worse than death, i’m sure they were talking about some of these poor faces.
and so the cable networks have been allowing everyone to chime in with their two cents. robbie kennedy is blaming the environment, foxnews is worried about oil futures and espn cant quitting worrying about how this will impact the nfl season.
meanwhile, i cant help but think that if your the omnipotent then it’s time to step up to the plate and take some responsibility for the shit you’ve unleashed on the unexpecting. like ben harper sang, “…if you’re going to take the praise, then you’re going to have to learn to take the blame.”
am i wrong in reasoning that if i’m supposed to be thankful to you for the blessings in my life, then i’ve every right to be angry at you for the hell you’ve brought down to thousands of innocent souls?
this is the elephant in the room that no one is talking about.
sound rediculous?
you bet it is and therein lies my point. if you’re not going to blame your diety for the world’s pain and suffering then you have no business thanking him for peace and happiness.
word.
