What's Going on Outside?

This late morning I wanted to grab a bite, so went out to the supermarket. But on my way, I got caught in the rain. I was carrying a book under my arm... I was kind of worried because it could get all soaked. After all, I ran at full stretch back home, and my book was safe.

A mass hostage-taking broke out in Afganistan. Most of the captives are from South Korea, and the Korean Ministry of Foreign Affaires estimates there are about twenty of them. They were all members of a volunteer group from a Christian church. However, though the goverment have warned the public many times not to visit this dangerous area before, the volunteers ignored - Some reports even read they'd already written their own death wills before takeoff. And to make matters worse, they left as "missionaries" toward an Islamic country! That's why they're now blamed by their compatriots, for their being insensible.


Well actually a sizeable number of people here bear a strong grudge against Christians. By and large, some of the Christians in South Korea (I told you, just a portion of them! No offense to the entire Christians) don't seem like "Christians" - they're rather like a CULT. Too fanatic beyond the limit... they occasionally threaten other people, saying, "believe in Jesus Christ, or you're going to burn in hell." It seems, at least to me, that they're completely unaware of the freedom of religion, which is well reserved by the constitution. The clique keeps impairing the image of their own churches... No more than digging themselves into a hole, as far as I'm concerned...Yeah, I know my opinion may be immature - and even way out of logic - as this is just from my narrow point of view.





At 8 p.m.,(I'm not sure. I didn't take a look at the clock) I arrived at a local bookstore to delve into HP7, and I've finished two chapters until ten. That means I had to put it back shortly after, disappointed... I HAD NO MONEY TO GET IT!!!


But I'll continue reading later on... again at the bookstore.
The book isn't available at library.
