As some would know I was on Krezz's Stream a couple hours after some idiot acting out in the name of god to go out and kill people by running them over with a pick up truck he rented. During the stream, family and friends were calling and texting me to see if I was alright because it happened at a couple of areas where I hang out at: Canal Street (China Town) and ended at Murray Street (where my old college, CNR, used to be), both on West Street which is part of the West Side Highway. It is one block away from the World Trade Center where it ended.
My condolences and prayers to those hurt and killed by this asshole and the hurt and pain their families are going through.
My heart is crying for revenge. But my mind has gotten numb to what happened and am thinking on ways on how to help. Forgiveness is not an option because it was not done directly to me. But Murder is an immortal sin, one that can not be forgiven because the one who could forgive no longer exists. One can ask for the Lord to forgive, but is that a real option?
Think about it. Are thousands of Jews burning in hell because they would not forgive Hitler but Hitler is in heaven because he asked the lord for forgiveness? I do not think it works like that. One has to atone for their sins.
Hell, I'm no angel my self. I can be down right evil when pushed to that point. I have nearly killed in self defense, and I have walked away from those who needed help. I was pushed to that point of not caring, that point where I become evil. Only those who can forgive me are still around to do just that. But did they? Don't know, don't care. Let the Lord sort out this mess we call life. I'm not looking for special favors from the all mighty, just some understanding.
If one's religion orders you to go out and kill others, then one needs to find a new religion. It is that simple. Religion is not about going out and eliminate those that do not believe in your beliefs. Religion is about being at peace with others and working to make a better community despite one's differences. It is about loving one's neighbor even if that neighbor does not love you. It is about helping others when they need help. It is about forgiving those who did you wrong when they apologize and make up for what they did to you. It is atoning for one's sins against others. It is being a good person.
It is not about how one can profit over overs - that's business, and religion and business shall never mix.
What I'm trying to say is... who the fuck knows. I'm confused, I'm at a loss for words. I want one thing but an striving for another. I'm trying to obtain something that is hard to get - inner peace with my self and outer peace with those I interact with.
May god, who ever you believe in, send this idiot to burn in hell, because he deserves to be there for the actions he did. One can not atone for such sins no matter how hard they try to make up for it.
On the news, somebody handed to the TV station a video of the group of Argentinians during the high school reunion riding their bikes around the World Trade Bike path, seconds before they make that turn onto West Street and got killed by the terrorist driving his truck into them. They were happy, they were enjoying their time with each other. They were having a great time. It was very touching to see such happiness among a group of friends. Then it suddenly ended for them. Life is not guaranteed. Here today, gone tomorrow. Do what you can now while you still can, for tomorrow you wont be able to do so.
I send you all my love, hopes and prayers. And enjoy what little you have because one day it will be all gone. No excuses, no regrets, act in integrity.
