Christmas is coming! · 20 November 08
Joyeux Noel and Happy Holidays….ching a ling, ring a ding. Well 2008 has once again proved to be another fantastic year with lots of events signalling a massive year of Change! One can’t help but keep hearing the bells of change ringing throughout the world , be it in our lovely home Malaysia and or America, to that of Thailand, Pakistan, New Zealand etc!
It’s a new generation where internet and society have now converged and a new era of freedom and openness has prevailed. Of course one shouldn’t believe everything there is to be proclaimed on this powerful medium of communication but as the old saying goes ” there’s no smoke without fire!”. The more blogs, forums, articles we read worldwide, the emphasis on issues are compounding and compelling enough for the people on the street to march along the streets ringing their bells in voicing change. So .. what is this change?
Change politically, financially and socially mainly amongst others.
People are sick of the financial systems that have brought poverty to the world and oppress the weak. Consumerism to the point where developed countries consume up to 10 times what they really need and third world countries 10 times less than what they need to survive. You look at American consumerism and the kind of carbon emissions they produce. And the fallacy of fuel crops that are burdening the Amazon jungle due to the clearing of jungle for more land that could be used to produce fuel crops (to cut a long story short). At least from Obama’s latest speech and focus, he makes a major effort to ring change in bringing down environmental damage. The whole financial system must be reworked to contain the credit monster that is sweeping through global markets. The man on the street will surely tell you enough is enough and governments must be responsible and address all these issues in a fair, transparent and honest manner , integrity all included.
God has sent us all a very clear Christmas message this year. And that is the truth will set you free and people will be able to access this truth in a more available manner! The Internet! One must keep praying though, and not be led astray by the vast amounts of information but sieve through them wisely with the help of God and learn through this process.
The mobile internet is coming, so watch out for it next year ;)
In closing, I would like to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year. May God’s blessings be upon you , your family and your loved ones and continue to persevere on to bring truth in the coming 2009!
