Don't question the will of God and surely don't contest it.

I woke up today fairly early to go get some medicine or what-not (hanyak in Korean) but my grandparents are running late.

It's so strange to me how there's so many blips of Western culture influence here in Korea. Everyone speaks or attempts English. Every public sign is posted in Korean and English. Also, I want to thank my mom for forcing me to take Korean. I speak just enough that I can easily deceive a native as being just one of them.

Today I'm going to visit the National Museum or somethin' like that.

Now for an editorial cartoon I came across while on The Onion that infuriated me:



Now WHY does this make me so angry? FIrst of all, isn't the purpose of all these endangering acts and preservation to save lives, regardless if they're human or not? Life on Earth should be beautiful and not be ruined by preventable things, such as hunting and toxins in the air. Secondly, how can anyone pretend to know the thoughts of God and rightfully say that the intent of the animals was to be with him in heaven and that human intervention of prolonging their lives is against His will? What if our role in the process was actually part of God's will for these animals? Last but not least, why would any mammal see a long life as hazardous to its health? I'm sure (most) humans would do nearly anything to live as long as they would. I'm sure the animals would like the same. I mean, why in the world do they have a fight-or-flight response if they didn't want to live longer?
