IRRATIONAL DEMAND PERFECTION IN IMPERFECT WORLD: LONDON TRAGEDY
J. Grant Swank, Jr.
A man was shot down in Britain. He was innocent. That is truly a sad situation.
Nevertheless, while legitimate, heartfelt responses are made in follow through to this death, let’s then focus on the real villains who brought about this shooting of an innocent human being.
The villains are fanatic Muslims.
This weekend some peace-loving persons have railed against the British police, PM Tony Blair and anyone else in the picture. Not good. Not reasonable. Not fair.
This is what happens when the world goes off-kilter because of constant badgering from the insane cultish: not everything follows through perfectly. Yet the liberals and thoughtless demand perfection of everyone else but themselves.
Note the Democratic Party in America. It cannot produce one major plan for national improvement and safety. All it can do is rail against the Bush administration for not performing perfectly. That goes on day after day after day. It’s not a one-time thing. It’s an hourly Dem mantra. Thankfully now the general public has become weary of the Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean Et Cetra refrain.
So it is with this shooting of the innocent. When Muslims blow up people and buildings and cars and entire neighborhoods, is it not reasonable to assume that responses will not always be in perfect focus? Is it not logical to grant certain mistakes in trying to quell the continual hellish bombast of the Islamic crazies?
Therefore, when the peace-loving citizens attempt to recapture their culture for sanity, logical persons must expect that in that attempt not everything will go perfectly. There will be mishaps. There will misjudgments. There will be some innocent persons threatened.
That’s the spiritually damaged sphere we live in, people. It’s not heaven. It’s not eternal bliss where sin and death cannot enter.
We live in an Eden tragically come upon by the devil and his demonic cohorts. Since our first parents disobeyed Creator God, much has not gone correctly. There have been too many mistakes and mishaps and misfortunes.
Every generation must learn then exactly what sphere we inhabit. It’s a soul-fallen planet.
Only for the redeemed will perfection come upon their eternities in the New Jerusalem. For the damned, they will experience the ultimate mayhem and misfortunate.
Until then, we grope. We cheer. We lament. It’s all the mix of the present-tense, continuing as long as there is a wobbly world to spin upon its axis.
