It's been a while since my last post, and during the time I wasn't online (I can't believe it myself), I had a chance to reflect on things. Well, it's not really a reflection but more of trying to make sense of something incomprehensible, at least, in the beginning. For example, what does a bunny have to do with Easter, in which all Catholics know as the resurrection of Jesus and the deliverance from sin. Well, at least, that's what they taught us in school. A bunny on one hand, and redemption on the other. It's not quite balanced, is it. Even if the rabbit is made entirely of chocolate. It is mouth-watering to just think about a big chunk of chocolate, even if it's shaped as a cute bunny-rabbit. It's still not balanced. What other people would say is that it's all a marketing ploy to commercialize something solemn as influenced by a capitalist government. They may be right. Another thing that would bug me is the fact that there are going to be Easter egg hunting events. Where do Easter eggs come from? From the Easter bunny? Since when did rabbits lay eggs?! And people painting over the eggs to make it colorful, it's not natural. There just isn't an egg that was originally made with stripes. Pink stripes. That hen better have pink stripes too. The lies that our parents taught us as true when we were little really had no positive effect on us when we grew up. Luckily for me, my parents never believed in the Easter bunny or Easter eggs. Otherwise, I would have ended up believing in something useless. Think about it. What does a bunny give you besides a full stomach? There is no spiritual, moral, economical or financial relevance to the Easter Bunny. Well, there is an economical relevance. It does help retailers and capitalists to earn from it by selling a 250 gram chocolate Easter Bunny for about $15 to $20, with the only difference from a chocolate bar worth about $3 is that it is shaped like a bunny. The other thing that makes me wonder is that Catholics must refrain from eating meat (beef, pork and chicken). They say Catholics have to fast and/or abstain from consuming meats mentioned above. Why?! Was there a shortage of meat back then that we have to mimic what the early Catholics consumed? Or were they just trippin when the Church told the Catholics that they should not eat meat or they will burn in Hell? Will I burn in Hell, now that I ate meat (a spiced Ham sandwich)? Do I get a lighter penalty in Hell because I only ate spiced Ham and the others ate steaks? Is my God that strict? And now it begs the question, if God is Love, why would God smite me if I disobey one of his "policies?" I think the Church has to get their act together cause a lot of people are getting confused already, myself included. I will not dare nor even think about daring to answer this question. If you want an answer to this question, you're better off asking the Pope, or at least a priest in your parish. If I were to answer that question, I wouldn't give an answer but a philosophy: "Live and let live." This is what happens when you get a lot of time off and all you did was sleep.
