Pluto was degraded to a “dwarf planet” and lost its planethood in our solar system. Apparently this stirred quite an attention in the astronomical community. There are many who protest against this proclamation; yet how many of us really know about this planet for the past 76 years?
An Austrian girl was kidnapped on her way to school eight years ago and recently escaped from the imprisoned life. Apparently this spellbound event again brought a quiet country such as Austria to a heated stage. Many wrote letters to the girl and her family to show support. However, the now-teenaged girl seems to take the episode well and has developed the so-called “Stockholm Syndrome”. No one really knows how she undertook all of those miserable days and how she is holding up psychologically. I just feel angry how someone could do such things to a naïve girl and lock her for 8 years. The suspect has committed suicide right after the girl ran away.
Of course, there are hundreds of tragedies happening every minute in our world, and lots of them are hidden in the dark or just unable to be unveiled by the media. For those who are religious might think why God allows devilish matters to occur if He really loves human beings, especially the innocent children. I don’t have answers to all of the questions in life but I strongly believe man is here to elevate his spirituality via comparison of good and evil and render service to others.
Then again, many factors could alter the way we behave, be the chemicals in our brain, or the intention of ourselves. Nonetheless, if you still feel compelled to show sympathy or support to those who have undergone tremendous misfortunes, you are the ones building the spiritual blocks inside. World peace seems so clichéd but isn’t it always our hope for a better global community or even universe?
I usually get upset and unleash my indignant outcry whenever I see or hear someone impose unbearable tortures upon others, but I guess it is because I want to contribute my part to the better world. Hope my motive and desire will never fall apart and wither as society gets more and more fiendish nowadays!
