The Supreme Court's Decision on Gay Marriage

The world has changed very fast, and why not? Life is change and is life. While there are different feelings about this decision, it is my opinion that everyone is entitled to how they feel and it is important that we learn to respect others view. We live in a global world with different many things. Different values, different colors, different opinions, different religions, different classes, different food, different clothing, different environment, different styles and wow, we should appreciate these varied opinions which remind us of the reality that we live in. 

One thing that is worth noting is that as long as we work at not oppressing, abusing, discriminating, and marginalizing anyone for the simple reason that they are different from us, I am okay with this. In this case, it was the Supreme Court that handed down to us what they believed to be the right thing. If we live by the law of the land, well, we have to abide by it in spite of how we feel about certain things.  

What is marriage anyway? Marriage is a social institution created by society so family members can express love to each other in it. It is a way to love, procreate and be better humans. If some can enjoy it, all of us should be able to enjoy it. It would be really sad and has actually been sad to see that some had the opportunity to express love to those they love while others were denied the opportunity to do so. 

 It is good to see that a group that has been marginalized for way too long has finally received the right to operate like other fellow beings. It is good to see change free that burden that many have had to bear for a very long time. I see this as something Jesus would do- ask that they should be left to live their life the way God made them. And hey, the Dalai Lama with his compassion teachings, He would be on the side of the oppressed. How about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)? He was a champion of social justice and I believe he would always stand with the oppressed to advocate for social justice. 

Well, God created us all to serve him. Let us serve him by loving his creatures, all of them. 

Peace!!!
