today on my way home with ks, we were talking abit about the homo issue.
something i've wondered is how much all this hooha will affect the regular layman.
i mean, if i were just a simple postman, going about my simple job of delivering the post to simple regular folks, earning my simple pay to support my simple family... then, will this homo law affect me much if it were altered?
not just this, of course.
will the casino affect me? what happens if ten more pop up?
will prostitution affect me, the simple postman? what if the area i live in gets turned into a red light district? what if i have a prositute for a neighbour?
how much of "my world" will change if all these things happen?
or will it not?
surrounded by 10 casinos, living in a house beside a prostitute's, and opposite a gay couple's, maybe i'll still lead a simple life delivering post?
yes, i know. christians still have the responsibility to defend God's standard of righteousness in a world that is slowly forgetting what it means to have "standards".
but i've come to question the impact such things will have on the regular lay man. someone who is straight, faithful, and not a compulsive gambler.
i thought that it won't really affect me that much. in the sense that i'll still get my job as a postman, still marry my wife, still live in the same house, still send my kids to a good skool, still ride my motorbike to deliver the mail.
there are bound to be others who hold this view too. probably many others.
people who have already, more or less, decided that they won't have anyhing to do with these things. or people who couldn't care less for however our country decided progress in such areas.
such people will stand by and watch as the government goes about implementing its changes slowly over time. they may laugh at silly campaigns, critcise ineffective ones or be completely oblivious to changes that don't concern them directly.
all in all, they will just continue to go about their daily lives, not giving much thought to such issues and adopting a spectator role to the whole silly mess.
heh.
apathy...
how naive.
