As I was watching this summer Olympic games..ABC did a report where they were pointing out the major changes in China, the dam, electric train, upside down TV, et…the bigness of Beijing. One of the things that caught my attention was what one of the reporters said, “Its unbelievable, its like walking in fantacy, but its real.” Key word being ‘real’ here. We all know or heard a lot of talks about how much technology change is taking place and that we are moving forward to a better world.
On the contrary, I disagree with such an ideal. A lot of things in this world is just for show, its not really practical, for instance, the upside down TV in China, what is the point of that, I mean beside putting in a ton of money in constructing it.
Once again, I would like to emphasis that God has been good to me, not only this whole time that I’ve been to the States, but all of my life. I find it more touching to receive a letter than an email. One of my sisters, Marena Jim, sent me a three and a half pages letter. In it, she not only let me know what is going on back in Cambodia, rather she also encourage me and show me what she is going through. I don’t feel like going into details, but I just want to say that I read and re-read the letter and the more I do it, the more pikes I reach to an almost uncontrolable tears.
Don’t get me wrong here, I am not saying that I hate technology (actually I do), its just I would prefer the old style. Since I started school at a late age, I had to spend a lot of my time catching up with other kids. Meaning, that I had to read a lot of old books, to make up for the time that I never have and by the time I am caught up, I still yet have to catch the new stuff. To be honest with you, I have somewhat given up the new stuff, like music, movies, etc..
With that said, I am still stuck in the past. I think like a kid, and yet, my thoughts are almost older that most of the adults that I’ve met here in America. What I am trying to say is that I could relate better to the old folks, than kids my age or younger.
This world is not moving forward, rather we are still living in the past. How many sins or, humanly speaking, mistakes have we seem made with previos generation and we have not learn from it. I think we all know that no details is required here.
All to say is that if technology is not use for the glory of God, we still have not realized that we are sinners and in need of a Savior.
