Our Prayers for Paris

I still remember this beautiful city. Paris. All the corners of the city were artistic and magnificent. There were a lot of people from various races came, to enjoy the panoramic beauty of the city. I also remember that the foods were delicious, and it wasn't hard to get Asian food there. With many other countries to be explored for the rest of my life, going there twice or three times will be still great. Not to mention the famous Eiffel Tower that play beautiful lamp attraction every hour. It was too beautiful that someday I would like to enjoy it again with the special one.

This morning, I woke up with pray for Paris in an Instagram account. I turned on the TV, and saw no breaking news or live news, so I though it will be alright. But then I opened the Internet from my phone, and was shocked that the uncivilized act had happened in Paris. about 100 people were dead, and the attacks happened in several area. I open the Youtube live streaming and realized that the condition was horrible. People who were enjoying the warmth of the show with their family, suddenly were attacked by terrorists. These terrorists shot randomly and also threw explosives. It was heartbreaking that in the modern time like this, people still can not see other people as human being. They didn't care that the victim have people who still love them, perhaps children to be taken care, and they never though about how much loss the victims' family accepted. Why they should be short minded, how could people believe their way as the way of truth while all that people can see are they kills other people that are loved? That is insane.

On the other hand, These short minded people were not only in the position of those terrorists. Some people are too ignorant to believe that those terrorists are simply like cancer in the Islamic teachings. They were too ignorant to believe that those refugees go away from their country because of these terrorists too.  These racists people don't care that the refugees' kids also need hopes for their future, need happiness to play around with their friend, and they are also hungry.

I am a Christian, and in the country I am living in, the population of Muslim are more than 90%. Don't forget that we had ever dealt with this terrorism too. I can say to those narrow minded people, on any sides, that as long as we can see other people as human being, then we can live peacefully with our differences. Being civilized is more than just not to care about other people beliefs. It bring more advantages, to show to people that your believes are contributing to the world peace. An Agnostic people may show kindness to show that being kind is the core value of human life, while loving other is the core value of what Jesus had taught for Christian. And that way, perhaps, we have shown that we are competing to show the world that we believe in peace, not showing dominance to others.

Today might be a tough day to people in Paris, but we pray that the situation get better soon. We hope for peace on earth, and love one another to contribute to this big purpose. God bless all of us.
