Philippians 3:10 (NKJV) - that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,

huong1952: The Evacuees

I am not content with this life,

Waking up in the morning, overnight

Children's cries heard, somewhere

A stampede,

Bare footed people running,

Babies in mothers' arms,

The old and infirm pulled in carts.

Once in my motherland, there was a war

which left a bitter after taste,

The residues of chemicals that burnt

Deeper than napalms.

Today I see a trail of evacuees

Zigzagging like ants under rains of leaves,

An emergency, a death sentence,

Running from nowhere to nowhere

In a caged plot of land.

No, I am not content with this life,

Going to bed at night, waking up alive

To the sound of explosions

Elsewhere

Or right here, inside my heart.

Peace had become a dirty word soaked with blood.

Once in my motherland there were

Carpet bombings and revenge killings

By both sides,

Deadly rockets fell on trails of evacuees

Running from nowhere to nowhere

In a caged plot of land,

All in the name of peace.

I am alive, curse me! A survivor!

And I am not content with this life.

History brought back lessons of death,

But alas the hearts denied!

A life is a life,

A kill is a kill,

Intentional or not (who says not?).

I am alive

But the soul is gasping for understanding.

In this madness,

The human eyes are closed (not blinded),

Ears muffled (not deaf),

Hearts hardened like stones.

Only the earth, soaked with blood, moans,

When blistered feet of the innocents

Trample on...

Humans have not carried anything as heavy and burdensome as the unspoken pain buried deep within their souls. The world will never know, whether it subsides with time or gets further aggravated than ever before. May the heavens have mercy on such ones that suffer in silence. Those on earth are unaware, but their heart's pleas are well heard by the One above the seven heavens...

My heart needs a companion to be loved.

My soul needs a companion to be respected.

I need a companion to accept me the way I’m.

Life gets easy with a understanding partner………

“Certain people often become overwhelmingly depressed by the state of the world. They are vexed when they see that the will of God is not done today by others and themselves and they suffer with the physical and psychological pain of others. This sensitivity is a gift from God...[it] cannot be corrected. This sensitivity can only be transformed, altered and transfigured so as to become love, joy, and worship. How? By turning every sorrow into knowledge of Christ, love of Christ, and worship of Christ. And Christ, Who constantly waits with eagerness to help us, will give you His grace and His strength to transform sorrow into joy, into love for our fellows and worship of Him. Thus darkness will flee. Remember Saint Paul. What did he say? ‘Now I rejoice in my sufferings’.”

~Saint Porphyrios

As I had a time to preach the Truth among you, to the convincement of many, so now I have a time to seal the testimony with patient suffering in the bonds of the Gospel, that you may see that we preach no other than what we are made able and willing to seal with patient suffering, yes, even with our blood, if we are called to it, as many of us have done in this nation, though this is called a land of liberty. Indeed it is a land of liberty with respect to iniquity, but truth and equity are strangers in it, and therefore are persecuted. But you that are thought worthy to receive these strangers, happy are you.

The man in the ancient story trembled and paused over the scattered limbs of his child, and failed in the pursuit, -- the true penitent rushes over the mangled members of nature and passion, collects them with a hand in which there is no pulse, and a heart in which there is no feeling, and holds them up in the face of the Divinity as a peace offering. Mine is the best theology, -- the theology of utter hostility to all beings whose sufferings may mitigate mine.

Charles Robert Maturin, Melmoth the Wanderer

As my sufferings mounted I soon realized that there were two ways in which I could respond to my situation -- either to react with bitterness or seek to transform the suffering into a creative force. I decided to follow the latter course.

One time I ate probably way too many mushrooms and I could feel my trip going bad. So, I turned to my roommate and I said something along the lines of,

"I feel amazing but I feel like this sensation has a price and I'm about to pay it."

To which he responded, "What are you, catholic?" And that knocked me so firmly out of my mental state that the rest of the trip was hands down the best time I ever did mushrooms.

Romans 8:18 (KJV) - For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

I hate how acknowledging unfairness in the world is seen as "childish". Maybe children are right. I don't think you should be proud of the fact that you've become complacent with the state of your miserable existence and took on this loser "it is what it is" mentality. Things can be better.

#Maybe it's the 'tism but I've never lost my childlike rage. #If suffering is what reality is supposed to be then I must strike down God and pull the heavens here to Earth
