While walking on the street the other day, I heard a song playing in one of the shops at loud volume. This gospel musician (a lady) was singing out her heart, asking God to protect her from her enemies, and to bless her and ashame them. The song really had a good rhythm you would easily love and the message was clear.
Today I have a problem with the way people (some, but many) think. People will easily talk about their insecurities than securities; they’ll talk about more about their problems than blessings; they’ll talk more their enemies than friends!
It’s had to find a person (even a musician) asking God to bless his friends, but almost every musician has a song about his enemies, or at least a line in one of his most popular songs. Should we say they have more enemies than friends? Or should we say enemies inspire people than friends? If it is true, then they are the wrong people, they do more “wrongs” than “goods”.
You’ll wake up in the morning and turn on the TV to see what happened in the world while you were asleep, and to my surprise, every time I do this, I’ll see and hear about the riot or demonstration in one European or Asian countries a bomb blast and the degree of its effects in one of the chaotic Arab countries.
I stopped watching the news broad casts in the morning just to protect my grateful morning attitude. You’ll easily hear about a fraud made by one of the top official of a globally recognized organization or strong government, but it is not easy to see any of those good official, who have served the world unselfishly, faithfully and with a devoted attitude being thanked, praised or even recognized in the morning news; they can only be brought to the screen when commenting on bad things (suspicions), and even still, little is talked about their deeds, only titles are given – so unfair!!!
Why do we have to talk (most) about the bad side of life and almost completely live out the good things happening in our world? The very picture of this world you’ll get when you watch the morning news will make the word seem the worst place man can live; everything in the news is generally bad news, many times magnified than its real size. Try it the next morning, even for a week, and you’ll agree with me.
I wish one day the world’s most popular broadcasting bodies will initiate a program were people thank God or fellow me for the good things they are experiencing; were people talk about their achievements and hoe grateful they are; were people thank the world superpowers, World Bank, the United Nations, The European Union, Global Fund, USAID, the Common Wealth and more for the good things they have done for the world and it’s inhabitants, especially the human race. I think this will help us (people) look at the world with a better perspective, with a more grateful attitude, not seeing it as a trouble, trouble and more trouble world every morning, day evening and night.
My appreciation goes to all people, organizations and governments that have played a big/small role, but contributed towards making this world a better habitat for man and the rest of the creatures, especially the United Nations and the Geographers like National Geography, Wild Life Authority, Animal planet and more of the kind. Let my good God bless you endlessly and abundantly for making this world a better place for us.
*Organizations, people and governments spend Billions and Trillions of different currencies to make this world a better place, but nobody, actually a few people are grateful for this.
