Nina, I feel exactly the same as you do. Why pay good money for "entertainment" only to leave a depressing movie with a sad ending, when we can watch the evening news for free? I don't watch the news either.
Once, I thought I was going to go postal when PETA paid for an advertisement on TV showing pigs being killed. I just happened to be flipping through the channels around 11 pm one night and stopped to see what was going on. It happened so quickly and was not something I would have chosen to watch had I known what was going to happen. I resented PETA for putting that on TV. What if kids were watching that? Or a toddler wandered into the living room looking for mom or dad who might be asleep on the couch and saw it? I got so angry, I started throwing things and screaming!!! I couldn't believe my reaction. It made me sick to my stomach. I couldn't bear to watch a helpless animal be tortured like that. If I see an animal being hurt on TV, even if it isn't real, I can't watch it. I guess God gave me a serious compassion for animals. I wrote PETA and the TV station the very next day, because I didn't agree that the advertisement should have been on TV. I know, I know, what about those pigs? I am glad that there are groups out there who are advocating the humane treatment of animals, and I do support them, not all though. I also wonder how humans can be so cruel to one another. I think a lot of it has to do with drug use. So many people steal or kill while under the influence. The devil is out there and he is having a great time. Some forget that he's behind the evil, and anytime he can get his fingers into our lives, he takes the opportunity. Just remember he's out there and keep that in mind if you pray. It's my opinion that no matter what, we will never be totally happy or comfortable in our lives here on Earth, as we are not of this Earth. God never said that our lives would be easy here, and He's right, they aren't. In the meantime, I hope all of you enjoy your lives as much as you can, despite all the horrible things that do go on and do what you can about them, as many of you are already doing. Taking comfort in the "little" things, the simple pleasures of life, having faith, and prayer is all any of us can do to repel the evil. :) Wendy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
