De mi amigo Cris, recibí las siguientes meditaciones y pensé que es bueno compartirlas.
I am writing to you to ask for your help in shedding light on a perplexing situation I find myself contemplating…I have selected you as a group to aid me because you have known me for many years….
I value your opinion and look forward to responses based on varied religious experiences among my friends to solve the problem I am faced with…..
Over the years, we have all observed the seemingly random factors that affect all of our lives, sometimes without apparent rhyme or reason…we have seen some marriages dissolve over nothing and others grow stronger under adverse conditions…we have seen fate play a role in who survives critical illnesses and who succumbs to them…we have all seen good people suffer great misfortunes while some people of low character thrive….
In our lifetime, we have seen Churches and Religious institutions all around the world become revised, televised, energized and even scandalized…we are all well aware that a higher power has control of nearly all things….
A friend of mine was in the doorway of a convenience store in Atlanta while there was a shootout between the police and a gunman…happily, he walked away unscathed….
Another friend was on a golf course and a lightning bolt strike a man dead while others nearby were left untouched…we all watched as Hurricane Katrina ravaged some areas of the coast and left other nearby homes standing intact…the enormity of these random and seemingly unfair applications of good or bad fortune is at the core of my dilemma….
I have studied sacred writings of all major religions searching for an answer, and now I pose the question to you:
I cannot fathom that the highest power in this universe could take Anna Nicole from us and leave Hillary behind…!?!
Hoy si me hiciste reir.
Ya estaba preparando mi arsenal filosófico para dar una respuesta clara al porque de las cosas…. hasta que llegue al ultimo párrafo jajaja.
je je!
Es un gran gusto conocerte a travez del blog.No hace mucho estuve en tu blog y buenisima onda las fotos. Si fueras mormon fueras un hit por tu arbol geneologico, es fantastico (los mormones se preoucupan por sus antepasados, bastante). Me llamo mucho la atencion este parrafo que escribiste en tu blog: “Vivo en Guatemala, un país que aún está por ser construido y en el que los derechos individuales y la igualdad ante la ley tienen una existencia precaria. Por eso, aquellos son mis temas favoritos para Carpe Diem.” Te extiendo una invitacion a una reunion que se va a realizar el dia sabado 17 de marzo a las 5:30 en Los Cebollines de la zona 4. El motivo de la reunion es que los ciudadanos guatemaltecos contribuyamos a la construccion de este pais. Esta reunion es el resultado de una llamada de un ciudadano al programa de Contra-Via proucupado al igual que otros por lo que pasa en Guate.La idea es dejarles una Guate mejor a nuestros hijos. “Por la libertad , por la razon!”Gerson Rodriguez,maestro de enseñanza media y de inglestu seguro y atento servidor.p.s.La invitacion es para todo los lectores con ideas de como construir una Guatemala digna sin buscar huesos politicos
