“Letter from a
West Texas Constituent”
By James. B. Lee
Jr.
Ⅰ. Reflection
After reading this story, I
felt bitter because I realized that this world has put money only. The
government is demanding hog raisers to quit their works because of money. For
us Christians, we have to put godly things first before we put worldly things,
but it is actually hard and difficult. If we are not really aware of those
things, it is always challenge to live in this world as a Christian. We have to
focus on godly things even though this world is demanding us to chase worldly
things first.
Second,
I thought that all government are not working well. When I was young, I expected
that the government of my country would be a good government, but I realized that
it is very hard, including Korea. Korean government were not working properly
as many people know in the world. They had not functioned as a government of
one country, and finally the big scandal happened in Korea some months ago. I
feel shamed about that. As we can notice after we read this story, we need to have
a good government as well. We might think that it is not our fault when our
government is not functioning well. It is correct, but it is wrong also. If we
have attention to our government, watch and blame them, they would be careful
to work, and there would be more possibility for them to work cleanly and
properly. We have to pay attention to our government, if we really love our
country. I will pay my attention to my country, and I will be able to criticize
our government.
