I felt both insulted and saddened recently when an on line chat turned rather... unpleasant.
It was totally unnecessary but I guess it was, in retrospect, or I would never know what kind of a person one can be.
Christian or not, our interpretations of the bible and other books can twist a truth into something that is lop-sided and fanatical.
It does not matter if one is fluent, even a master of the original language that the Bible was written in. In fact, the wealth of knowledge can be used to attack rather than encourage, to confuse instead of to clarify, to gloat rather than to guide.
In this day and age, there are still men who can get offended when they were requested not to 'shout' on line, and rebutted with something along the line that " I will not have any woman telling me how to write and I will not be put on a leash..."
Am I being judgemental? Or did I miss something here? I am being attacked because I asked someone not to shout?
This guy is a child of God and I am only a daughter of Eve? and that all ills that happened on earth was because of women wanted to be the head instead of the man, and therefore a woman must learn her place which includes not telling a man how to write?
There is an element of truth there, about women trying to be the head, sidelining the original order as God intended. That being said, the same could be applied to how man's stewardship of the earth has turned into such a mess! Men wants to be the boss of everything and ignores the fact that he was tasked to be the steward of all these, and not to abuse them.
Why am I rambling on about this? Guess it is because I am surprised that there are people who could interpret the Bible section by section without looking at the other aspects of God's character and ask if the 2 compliment or contradict each other...... Am I being judgemental?
My travelogue seemed to have fallen into a black hole after writing about the first few days in HK.It would be a total pity if that was the end of the trip.But there was more.We packed our bags and checked out of the compact Casa Hotel. After breakfast, we took the MTR and proceeded to go to the train station to catch train to Shenzhen. Mom's advice to contact uncle David was the great advice indeed (moms really know best, whichever generation one is in).
Uncle David was waiting for us at the train station, timing it just right after I called him at the stop called "University"? Uncle David, together with Auntie Yong, picked us up from the train station and bus-ed it with us to the hotel they booked for us.
