"Love over Tyranny, Hope over Catastrophe"
Despite the recent tragic events, people have never lost hope in having a good life from the precarious situation ever experienced.
Be it from the recent typhoon to that of political fiascos happening in the country, the concerned is greatly reminded of the words "peace on earth and goodwill to all men". And this is not possible until humanity is cleansed of its mode of living and mutual mistrust is remedied. After all, faith in the divine providence is itself real as it manifested in various forms- especially to those who truly felt his love, power, glory.
For sure the present order would share that same statement time and again, but for sure this is all but politicking especially in a time people are still getting concerned on controversial issues, what more of incompetent and tyrannical rulers justifying their soiled or bloodied actions as "public service". Sorry but does their call for unity in this spirit of Christmas truly matters about unity? That they wish joy in a time should be concerning about the plight of many? Or just urging to submit into their whims being tyrants look after their own interests? Sorry to vent out knowing that these people trying to be "leaders" treat constituents as that of the feudal times- as subjects. For sure Christ himself, the "star" of this occasion, doesn't want tyranny to prevail, and urges every faithful not just to "bring peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34).
Sorry for the thought but to be honest, when people wish for peace and goodwill, that peace and goodwill comes with justice, even it requires taking arms. They are all willing to unite, but not because of some tyrant's message, but of themselves driven by their faith, their hope, and love as a nation and as a Christian. They are all willing to partake even their lives to a cause they see as just, especially in these times of trouble.
But regardless of these events, this note wishes that in this season of Christ's birth may he the sun of justice shine upon everyone's heart as he guide us towards salvation. True that these past events created an obstacle in everyone's lives, but despite these, this occasion isn't all about giving, sharing, feasting, nor seeing messages from tyrants trying to be "holier than thou" on everyone, but rather continue to embody the Christian spirit: that of loving one's neighbour.
