Peace, give us a break! I acknowledge the desperately dry and barren state of the environment in some parts of the world, including our own, but since when has the good-life to be taken for granted?

My sympathies are with a poetic appreciation for the Spirit of God. Jesus likened faithless people to chaff which blows about in the wind, in contrast to stems of reeds firmly alive in the ground, which are flexible enough to bend and bounce-back in the breeze.

Money and mining are twins of the same parent: greed. Let us not be swayed by such fixations, for all their weight on Budget Day.
Neither is heroism or struggle in itself evidence enough of the human spirit. Rather, we belong to the Kingdom of God.

Jesus says the following in the Gospel according to John:
"In all truth I tell you,
no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born
through water and the Spirit;
what is born of human nature is human;
what is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Do not be surprised when I say:
You must be born from above.
The wind blows where it pleases;
you can hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going.
So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."
[John Chapter 3, verses 5-8]

what about social justice for human?
I watched a recent documentary film 'In the shadows of the Palms' and realised the sad and heartbreaking reality of the Iraq War and what it's brought.

Iraq War happened in the shameful name of social/world justice and peace but what has it really brought to the Iraqi people? Freedom? Wellbeing? Democracy?

Democracy brought by force cannot be the complete democracy. 'In the shadows of the Palms' shows effectively how the war affected the normal Iraqi civilians in every possible way before, during and after the attack by Americans and their allies. It is definitely the only documentary on Iraq War that made me cry. It is so real.

The Iraqi people on the streets, at schools and in the tents after they lost the houses made me wonder about the true meaning of the democracy and social justice.

Maybe I should ask Bush - hey what does the social justice means in your dictionary?
