I know it is late and I should be going to bed. But, I just have to vent. I put the race on Facebook about three months ago. I invited all the "friends" we had. ( I just want to note here that by we I me my hubby, I don't have a facebook account). I thought that it would be a great way to spread the word about the race. There are six people who have responded that they are coming. 18 who are not, and 98 who have yet to respond.
I am angered by the lukewarmness of the world.
I got an invite for a fundraiser for my hubby's cousin's sister-in-law. She has stage IV cancer. From what I hear it is terminal. She is 35 and has two daughters. This is sad. The invite was posted on Monday and there are already 24 people who responded.
We also got an invite for my hubby's cousin being inducted into the local highschool's hall of fame. That invite was posted last Thursday and already has 14 guests.
What does this tell us. Well, it tells me that people are afraid to stand up for the greatest injustices in the world. People are afraid of what others may think of their morals. People have a very sad idea of what truth and evil are and how we should deal with each.
I am even more upset by the fact that I want to put some "writing on the wall" about my disappointment in our so called "friends". I want very clearly call their attention to the lack of moral fiber of society. Perhaps just remind them that every woman is faced with the same fears when she finds she is pregnant and that the support around her is what makes all the difference. Perhaps their mothers would have or could have chosen differently and then they would not be here at all!
There used to be a time and a place where people had common beliefs and they were united by natural law. Now I am afraid that the law has not changed, but that people refuse to acknowledge it. I did post a comment about the great work that pregnancy help centers do and how you could honor your mother by registering to participate. Will it do any good?
People are willing handing thier children over to be slaughtered! Other people know that this atrocity is happening and do nothing. Sounds a lot like Germans who allowed Nazis to build concentration camps. Yet it seems even more evil than that. We have made it legal. We have given those proceedures sterile names. We have dehumanized the baby in the womb and we have perfected the murdering process over years and years. We ALL know about the killing and most of us do nothing!
As Mother Theresa said," It is the ultimate poverty to decide that a baby should die so you may live as you wish!"
A great poverty indeed!
