In November's Christianity magazine John Buckeridge talks about our restricted myopic compassion and mentions that God calls on you and me to have a varifocal lens of love that can care for the near , middle distant and far away.
As much as I try , as much as I care, as much as I need.. I can not persuade myself to agree with the need to widen my circle of compassion. I have no more compassion left.
Life has turned into a constant fight to tame my compassion so I could actually think about myself, so I could enjoy a drop of fresh water in the nature without thinking about the consequences of marketing bottled water and thirsty Haitians; about the little misunderstandings between South Korea and North Korea; about Coca Cola's purified tap water Dasani they launched in 1999 etc, etc.
Am I being selfish? I think I am. But why not..
"The silence of God is one thing, but the silence of half of the world while the other half starves to death is quite another"
What can I say. That's how it is and always will be. THERE IS NO ROOM FOR ALL OF US ANYWAY! Why is it so hard to understand that?
Next to those slightly depressing articles I found one quite amusing one - A reader's concerned letter about using sex toys.
"Is it OK for Christians to use sex toys?"
I mean, Jesus-fucking- Christ, did Jesus masturbate , I would ask?!!
Maggie Ellis claims that God has given us all we need within our natural bodies and minds to fully satisfy and bless because that is His design..and that we absolutely do not need sex toys nor will they make our sex life better. But she recommends to incorporate toys to making love TOGETHER..
But what about single occupancy in bed, should we not give ourselves the pleasure to enjoy our own company, to give a helping hand to release the stress and feel that cosmic power that a decent orgasm releases?
I think we do and if that means that I'll have to purchase myself a whole new box of toys..then that's what I'll do.
And so should You!
:)
Long live toys!
