Morality and The Dogs

I feel like I have to say something, with all the rampant issues in the society today. It seems that the world wide web has given people a louder voice, and an unbelievably huge amount of courage to say what's on their mind about anything and everything.

I know there was this issue about a comedian making a joke about very delicate social issues, and there have been pretty severe blows from both sides, celebrities and non celebrities, about the matter. What saddens me recently (in fact, just this morning), is a statement that a friend of mine retweeted. which is something like, " If you get offended by comedy, it just shows what kind of person you are."

Excuse me?

I think its time I put a premium on morality, and beliefs. Most of the times I just stay silent on such issues, but as of late I have been pretty much bothered by how things contradictory to my beliefs have been so blatant and outspoken, and yet I sit here keeping my mouth shut. I feel like I letting them think that they are completely right and I'm the one who should be thinking otherwise.

I don't believe that morality is lost in this day and age. I believe its because it has become the road less traveled,  that people are more driven by their impulses and desires, and today's technology encourages that-instant gratification. But I also know that there is a big possibility it will get run over, if someone doesn't speak up and gives morality hope.

It all begins with the fear of the Lord.

Everytime you open your mouth, send a tweet, write a status, or post in your blog, think about what God will say. I am not perfect, I do make mistakes and sometimes cave into "papatulan kita". Its reflex human reaction. So is selfishness. Our role as Christians is to glorify God, not ourselves. Every action, every turn should be as He pleases. That is the very least  we can do.

I think its time to speak up, but more importantly, it's time to act out what beliefs we stand for. If the world is loud, then we Christians should fight back harder.

Please dont let morality go to the dogs.
