I just read through some of the Whitney Houston "traffic" and was appalled by the number of people who went out of their way to trash her legacy because she was an insecure, wounded human being with an unhealthy way of dealing with it.
What has happened to the soul of America? Is nothing sacred anymore? Is another person's tragedy fodder for gloating like the Pharisees of old, whose "prayers to God" were self-serving propaganda meant for the ears of bystanders?
Instead of "There but for the grace of God go I..." we get "She got what every addict deserves."
Really? Really?!!!
I'm not an addict (except to too many calories) so I have no skin in this game. But I have known and loved addicts...and they are, for the most part, absolutely BEAUTIFUL wounded souls looking for something to take away the pain, the loneliness, or something else that every other human being on the planet requires, too.
Anyone without compassion for them needs a heart transplant.
OK. I feel better now. I've had my say.
I am so sick and tired of people trashing each other politically, spiritually, and in every other way. Have we forgotten what the term "civil-ized" means?
Seems we're becoming a nation of verbal barbarians...and I loathe it.
REPENT! Unless we do, America is doomed.
