Countless Centuries of DEAD

Every time I think of the end of a year like twenty twenty which is also the end of a decade as well, I also think of the countless people who have died that I DO NOT KNOW and WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN regardless of the lives that they led.  Some of these people live in the US but a vast majority of them live in other countries.  Some were wealthy but a vast majority of them were poor.  Some were adults but a vast majority of them were still youthful innocents who had not learned of their place in the world.

Americans are arrogant in that we don't give a rat's ass about other people who live in other parts of the world, nor do we care about those who live in other neighborhoods or in other parts of our State...  we just care, if caring is the correct word, about those who are immediately living around us and perhaps a few spread out families...  but, nothing else...  nor will we ever, even though we talk about relatives all the time in the form of spreading gossip.

• Millions have died in 2020 from COVID
• Millions have died in 2020 from natural causes
• Millions have died in 2020 from fight wars
• Millions have died in 2020 from accidents

AND...  as we approach the end of 2020 and the end of a decade all we can say is WHO CARES???

Why is it that those of us who actually believe in a CREATOR do not express our concerns for all those we do not know who have died this year?

Is our faith not that strong?

Is our faith not supposed to cover those who believe differently?

Does our faith not cover ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN?

I would be incredibly surprised to discover that GOD DID NOT CREATE all of mankind and not just CHRISTIANS....  of course, I am sure that many Christians could quote scripture and verse proving me different...  but, in a universe as vast as our universe is and for God to have created this universe and MANKIND that HE only wanted to pay attention to a group of people that paid attention to HIM.

We lost millions in 2020 and we need to be mindful of all of them...
