Life, Death, & Wonders

Whenever I see elderly people walking alone, I wonder if they have someone.
Whenever I heard about murders, I wonder who would do that.
Whenever I heard about wars, I wonder when it will end.
Whenever I heard about gossips, I wonder why don't the gossipers mind their own business.
Whenever I heard about abuses, I wonder what made the abusers so cruel.
Whenever....whenever....a list that never ends.

I have this unbearable compassion for people.
I told myself, if I am rich and powerful, I will make things right.
It was a moment of lie, a moment that I wish will last longer.
Because things will never be right.
For a little while? yes. And then reality kicks in.

I am turning 21 in four more months.
I have questions. unanswered questions.
Everyone has a moment of weakness, doubts.
Wondering what life is all about.
Wondering how inhumane we can be.
Wondering why life is so fragile.
Wondering...wondering....a list that never ends.


The only hope I can always cling to is Jesus.
The God who loves us unconditionally.
