So, before I ramble on about the topic of this blog entry, I have to share what I just learned, which is that the color 'gray' or 'grey' are both spelled correctly for the color term. 'Gray' is the commonly used spelling in American and 'grey' is common for English. Interesting.
Moving on. With everything that is going on right now in the world, politically and environmentally, it absolutely amazes me that there are STILL people in the world, with resources such as television and the internet, who choose to be ignorant about these two topics. I understand, and mostly agree with actually, why people do not want to involve themselves in political matters for reasons such as it being a corrupt system all the way around, or that they believe they are only one person, what is the point in having an opinion, it won't change anything anyway, or because there is a higher power who is in control and we have no business participating in a system that is governed by evil. Here is the thing though.... there is a huge difference between being an activist, or exercising your right to vote and simply educating and informing yourself on the events happening on our planet. Thus, where my title fits in.
I can somewhat understand how someone with no christian background could disregard these events, because they either do not know, or choose not to believe what God warns us of in His Word. But for those who know the Bible very well, and know that it clearly reveals everything happening today as a sign to be prepared for His coming, I'd like to know, why and how they just "don't care" about these kinds of things. It is much easier to ignore the political side of things than to ignore environmental issues, obviously. But both play an equally significant roll. So tell me, is it just laziness? Politics is boring, I will not argue that, but studying math is pretty boring too, not very enjoyable, but it's necessary. Just as political events are necessary. You do not have to involve yourself in them in order to know what's happening. There is a huge difference... miles and miles apart, huge. So stop using those excuses in the above paragraph.
There are two reasons why I felt the need to write this, in as much as I know most people will shrug their shoulders at it. One, because I had to vent about it... it irritates me to no end. And two, because maybe there are just some people who simply don't understand the literal danger they are putting themselves in by not informing themselves and staying up to date. Maybe nothing bad has hit you yet in your part of the world, or country, or what have you, but just as the ripples of a wave, it will come eventually, and if you choose to ignore what's coming, you'll be completely blind sided. Why wouldn't you want to prepare yourselves?
