Theos-Talk Archives (June 2000 Message tt00044)

Of corse you have a good point.As with all humans we all have our own
filters that give us our individual accounts of events.Who is to say
that this event is accurate.So much has been written and re-written that
some part of ego and prejudice has been applied however vigilant the
author.
Even in our time a spin is given on news stories and the like.Common
sense and intuition probably need to be applied.Events this day arrive
almost instantaniously therefore of corse the world seems an awful
place.Atrocities have been happening for the length of our
existence;they were perhaps not communicated to the rest of the world as
quickly as today.The media perhaps focus on the dramatic and terrible
because so many are stimulated by it,but I beleive there are many
good,good things happening all the time that may be rather boring and
uninteresting to the media except for "miracles"that may gain
ratings.Acts of hate happen often ,but don't acts of kindness happen
often also?Query:did the human heart invent religion?Is good and evil of
our own invention?
