Faith Intertwined

As many people with many better things to do, I don't go much often to see the news. As what I've expressed in the past, the media has grown into something nasty. They don't have that sense of responsibility and the quality is deteriorating into the level of gossip column. I've just got SMS asking about the stance of Christianity. A Moslem friend asked me if the Bible encourage us to support Israel country. Apparently, there is a Jew community that would like to celebrate Israel birthday made it into the news . Because of that, some of uninformed Indonesian making strange conspiracy theory. Now, for Indonesian people here's a hint about Chrisitianity: Jesus would like to build an Israeli kingdom, but that kingdom is not in earth! Furthermore, it is said in the Bible the new Israeli weren't the descendant of Abraham, but also tribes and nations from all over the world. If you learned about history, the Israel kingdom was divided into two kingdom: North Israel an...

To Let The Rock Go

A mob led by wise people of Judaism came to Jesus with a women held captive. They want a justification to stone the women. They also sought the opportunity to have Jesus a wrong judgement. A reason to kill him, or just shattered his name. He was famous and rebelious at that time. Many wisemen didn't like him. They would love him to make a wrong move.

But, then again Jesus was writing on the ground when they asked him about the women. They talked to him, forced him to make a decision. This Rabi, thought them, should make a move!

At first, what he said was ordinary, but I think what he wrote is something that may be made many wisemen from the oldest to walk away. None of them stoned the women.

A Strange Thing About Life

As I read about 5 Centimeters Per Second review -- it's 8.0 in IMDB, btw -- I searched the bad comments of it. I'm interested in people whom commented bad about this movie because not many of them. In fact, there was only one or two bad reviews! Anyway, I found a comment intriguing that commented about: How can a guy can't let go his first love? Why he drifted instead? As little children we are forced to get along with parents decisions, but as an adult person you can fulfill your desires. Why not search her? A man drifted by his unrequited love? A very interesting theme indeed. I don't think a man drifted into his love is bound to Japanese theme. There are many stories about man drifted with his unrequited love. The most I remember would be Hamlet. I also got a true story about a person whom drifted with his unrequited love. My father said he had a friend whom had someone dear in his heart. Unfortunately, they were separated by their countries. Until the day my father ...
