The Christmas – pseudo religious for
the majority – festivity has come and gone for another year and the
world with all its problems is almost – I use this qualification as
the optimist in me hopes that somewhere there will be change –
still the same.
There is still avarice.
There is still hunger and homelessness
in all parts of the world.
There are still religious bigots
spouting views as to how we should all conduct our lives; whilst
religious based acts of violence continue.
There is still cruelty by mankind
against human and animal victims.
There is still inequality shown against
birthright, gender, skin colour, nationality and opinions.
There is still a lack of freedom and
democracy.
So what is the big deal about the
celebration of Christ's Mass? What difference will it make to the
future? How will the world and its inhabitants change?
Does celebrating Christmas only change
waistlines and bank balances?
