Why do we love?

I have successfully cross over 2009. so many things happen. they come and go at the same time. now the question i want to ask everyone is what's up with life nowadays. i am not only talking about my own life but also the lives of the people out of the four walls while i am still typing.

i was reading an article few weeks back during the christmas season. it is about the teenagers nowadays posting explicit photos of themselves on the net. when the parents found out about it, they did nothing. the worst thing is the teenagers are aren't abit shameful about what they have done. the parents actually commented on the article saying "i don't dare to do anything, i fear that he or she run away again."

recently, i was desperately looking for a job online. i actually check out an online singapore classifieds advertisement system almost everyday. i came across an advertisement on the job advertisement site. the advertisement is entitled 'A sad and lonely girl.' As usual my online busybody character urge me to read it. this teenage girl is actually advertising herself to a man. the advertisement says, if you ring me i will give you my everything. i was really very shock by it, just because of her emotional feelings she is willing to give an unknown man everything. i was asking myself what's up with this person life? is she so desperate for a relationship or what? the next thing i did was dropping her an sms and ask her to meet me up. in the end she didn't reply me, i hope one day a message will come in and it will be her.

recently i have been visiting seven eleven for drinks and sandwiches. there is so many seven eleven in singapore, i visiting quite a number of branches and i realise something which is very similar with all this outlets. without fail at every counter there will be a section of condoms which is being display for people to purchase. from what i know there are seven eleven almost in every part of the world. personally i have visited countless of them. regardless of whether i am overseas or in singapore. all of them have the same culture, they are open 24/7. that also means that these condoms are being sold 24/7. i was thinking to myself, why don't they sell bibles in seven eleven. condom is consider as 'safe' sex, but the bible that i am reading is saving lives guaranteed.

what's up with life nowadays? this will be the question i will be pestering God. but i still hope everything can be change for the better. Amen! :)

Learning Day by Day: 1 Corinthians 13:3 (New Living Translation)

3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;^[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
