A Silent Prayer Is Enough

 
" Do not speak of your happiness to one less fortunate than you are."
                                                                            -Plutarch - 



        Terrorist attacks ....
        Airplanes crashing ...
        Hurricanes lashing ...

         If you or your loved one  survived a disaster   --- and others did not --- a silent prayer  should be enough. Don't go to social media saying " Thank God  for saving me . " or " Thank  you Lord  for  taking care of my son ! ".The families of those who  died --- how  are they supposed to feel  when they read your posts ? Are they less loved  by  God ? Are the victims not deserving of a second lease on life  ?  Many questions on human existence  will never be answered , like " why God saved one person  and  why  he let  a child  die a horrible death ." We'll never know the answers. But one thing is for sure :  God can hear everything , even the silent prayers we utter to ourselves .  Therefore , there is no need for Facebook  or  Twitter. Pray in the privacy of your heart . Respect other people's grief.
