Hypocrisy – The trial of Casey Anthony

Throughout all these days, or weeks, the media circus is once again engaged on a trial in Orlando, Florida, that becomes famous as opposed to the trial of the famous, like in the days of O. J. Simpsons ‘situation’.
The accusation is centered against Casey Anthony who allegedly has something to do in the death of her three year old daughter and of course what is proved her to be is a compulsory liar and so, everything goes against her on her daughter disappearance and eventual finding of her death body and the trial continues.
But the point on putting that word, hypocrisy, up front in the title on this note is the blatant miscarriage of justice, no, not against Casey because she is still in trial, but against children altogether. Would not be this the perfect moment to ask…
Why a decision of a mother to terminate the life of a child be more a ‘murder’ when the child is three years old than what it is before in her life, when the law and the press, simply ignore the fact and tend to report it, if at all, as a case of woman health, as a right of a woman to go on with her life, ridding herself of that ‘intruder’ in her life, her offspring of course.
Of course, I am purposely avoiding mentioning the time before the three year old I am implying or when in the life of the child the press and the law suddenly awakes and starts treating the termination of life as a crime and not as a ‘right’.
On Casey’s accusation, the presumption, which of course, always, should be of her innocence, before throwing her as guilty and it does not matter what my own perception is on the matter; the idea persistently exposed is on how ‘inhumane’ she was by apparently ‘party’ all around while her child was missing for 31 days on her own assertion. Naturally, the immediate reaction is of outrage because after all, she should have been worry, to say the least. But she was enjoying life, which forces anyone to believe in her culpability because a mother is actually choosing to kill her daughter so that selfishly, she can go on with paying attention to her life. Of course her daughter was at the time of death three years old and then again, as this was then 2008, or three years ago, the child would be now six, but what about 2005?
Was the child less of a child then? What about nine months before that?
The ones that find a solid line between birth and not, argue that this exists and actually and as the basis for partial abortion, they claim that while a minuscule portion of a baby is in the mother’s body, it can be disposed of because actually, it is not a baby yet, not a human person.
But, what moral basis, or scientific, for that matter, exists to support such a ‘transformation’?
Claims go back and forth, measured in weeks trying to pinpoint that magical moment, any moment but conception, when the human being appears from that ‘tissue’ formed as a consequence of sexual intercourse and the intention is to politically find that acceptable ‘compromise’ that can keep everyone’s conscience calm and relaxed, acknowledging that because the people is ‘happy’ then God should be too… But the law is not to replace God but to rather be in accordance to His will.
Life starts at conception and through natural death and Casey Anthony is on trial because of a potential violation of the right of her daughter to live. The question is why, any other daughter or son, is not given the same protection by the law if they happen to be, ‘at least’, a bit inside their mother body?
Rape or not rape, ‘accident’ or no accident; still it is the human being inside the woman’s body who is dismissed as a thing ‘worth’ considering removed, terminated, killed; whose age is completed disregarded and because of political perception, period, because allegedly women, will be happier that way.
As far as the right to move on with her life; should not Casey Anthony ‘enjoy’ the same right as the millions of women who exercise their ‘right to chose’ for the death of their children?
Is the premise of our days… if you do not want that baby, kill it now or face trial… later?
Hypocrisy is the word that joins selfishness; as the reason, behind this calamity of our days but, don’t let me interrupt the circus, sorry, the trial, and let’s see how much inhuman has Casey Anthony has been for choosing herself over the life of her daughter… Should she be found guilty this is… and if not, then still, where is the outrage to come from, as after all, a human being at such an early age enjoys the protection of the law because…(?)

Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples

Gospel text ( L uke 11,1-4): One day Jesus was praying in a certain place and when He had finished, one of his disciples said to him, «Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples». And Jesus said to them, «When you pray, say this: Father, hallowed be your name, may your kingdom come, give us each day the kind of bread we need, and forgive us our sins, for we also for-give all who do us wrong, and do not bring us to the test»

Money

Is money the ultimate goal, the end of all means? Nowadays, it seems, everything is not just measured in terms of money, but everything needs to be, has to be, in terms of money. Money is set as the goal, over anything. Money is meant to be just a media for exchange of goods and services, not a goal on itself, yet our society has corrupted onto making of money a statement beyond life, family, marriage and most definitively above love and truth. Such a philosophy has degraded our souls to the point of denying everything that is in conflict with the value of money. Even when charity is concerned, it seems mercy can only be measured in monetary terms, as if charity could be measured by anyone except God alone. If there is crusade or cause to be enrolled, the only acceptable way has been institutionalized as the amount of money it can be contributed, regardless of the individual efforts that could be applied or spent.

What is going wrong with the world?!

After the question which seems to come back at every generation, the clearest answer is perhaps… ‘Selfishness’ The point is very simple, when we put our own ego, our self, at the center of everything… Do we expect the rest of the world to bend backwards to satisfy us? We do have fundamental freedoms like opinion, religion, etc. Are those freedoms to be limited by the freedom of others? Are those freedoms to limit the freedom of others?
