"It is finished." And bowing his head, he handed over his spirit.
Today is Good Friday. Jesus was crucified under the hands of Pilate through Judas' betrayal and the Jews' accusations.
For some reason, the picture gives me the haunts.
But it's still nice.
I think it's the first time in all the Good Fridays of the years that I felt sorrowful during the mass. Haha, after being a true lit student for more than a year, I finally could sympathize properly.
Or maybe it was cause I got a seat and could pay attention this year xD
Other times I'd be standing and gasping for breath among the crowds. Yes, sad to say, and surprisingly, I sometimes have breathing problems if I'm in a crowd. From here I can infer that I generally take up more oxygen than the average people. Thus, I'm actually depriving surrounding people of approximately 5% of their oxygen intake.
I still like the hymm from the church, "Behold The Wood of the Cross".
It gives the right atmosphere.
Makes it possible for me to imagine myself standing before the cross and watching Jesus die for us. WHAT did we do in return?
:
We create nuclear bombs, we declare war, we fight over pride, difference and power, we need a dangerous crisis to bind us together, we ignore the needy asking for a little change on the streets, we abuse the word 'charity' and embezzle the money kind people donated, we stay away from people of different colours, we care more about popularity than humanity, we care only about globalization, we hate our parents and siblings for interfering, we betray our friends, we forgot to pray, we start to question God's existence, we burn away the world He created just for a space for profit, we killed the animals He made for leisure, we discriminate the mentally ill, we dismiss someone's death in the headlinesh, we think physical aspects define us instead of the souls He gave us, we think churches are boring, we worship iPod more than the Lord.
We forgot to love.
"we" refers to the people in general.
This is only an example of what we repaid His actions.
Most of us are just a bunch of ungrateful people.
And I think that includes me.
=(
One thing I have to say.
SIMRAAN IS AMAZING, PSYCHIC and FREAKY AT THE SAME TIME.
Almost each time we talk she'd ask if I was okay.
And almost every time she asked that, I wasn't okay at all. I was just putting on a mask.
She was the only person in like what, my whole life?, that managed to spot it.
LOL!! But not everyone can be entirely psychic, because sometimes I couldn't feel better and she thought I was upset xD
Cheer up Simraan!!!
