Still checking out here?? This blog is abandoned leh…
Anyway, just felt the urge to write out something that has been bugging in my mind while I was doing my readings on Sociology (Family & Relationships). I really thank god for allowing me to take sociology as one of my units. For those who don’t know, sociology is actually a study on the world society. This semester, I have gone through topics on “Media & Society” and “Family & Relationship”.
Mmm… whenever I do readings on sociology, I always have great feelings and thoughts, because it tells us so much about the society and what is really happening in the world. I feel for the problems that are drugging the world. Examples of societal problems are increase of individualisation (online community, netsex, pornography etc), suicide rates (stress, pressure, and mostly every person has a time in their life where they encounter a mild psychological problem like depression or anxiety), poverty (80% of this world are living under poverty, which is without food, shelter), hedonism (a culture of seeking pleasure only, like clubbing, drinking, drugs, one night stand etc), increase of divorce rates or lone parent (children grew without security or love, fail to see a pure and fullness of commitment in marriage), and homosexual. The biggest problem is all of these just seem so normal to all of us. It no longer shocks us at all to know that all these exist. Knowing all these, I feel for these people who are facing all these problems in the world. One way, I will feel super bless for what god had given me throughout my life. People in the world are searching for something; some of them do not even know what they are searching for therefore they tried out all the worldly stuff like all the above. Nonetheless, indulging in all these definitely gave them a temporary but great pleasure, but….. at the end they will still end up feeling empty or hollow.
What the world needs? If you are smart enough all those problems can be explained by only one answer, which is people in this world, need love, hope and most of all God, the one thing that people can never understand. There is a god in this world, He exists. People, do search for Him. I want to help…. I really want to help the world and tell them about the only love, only hope and the only God who so love us and gave us His son, Jesus.
Anyway!! Didn’t know how I ended up writing all these, it is just some of my thoughts, want to write it down as a reminder. Need to continue with my readings. Doing all these readings always triggers my urges to write a sermon about it. Haha… But too bad I do not have a gift of preaching, or maybe I should start asking for it.
하나님, 감사함니다...
p.s I'm coming back on 16th of Nov!! *cheers*
