[lace-chat] Re: "The LITTLE Things"

[Martha Krieg]

I agree. If one is a Christian and believes in life after death being 
better than life here (which some of us do), one could also ask why 
it would be considered an unmitigated good to survive, and an 
unmitigated evil to perish.(Note: this is not intended to be 
flippant, nor is intended as any kind of derogatory or disrespectful 
comment about those thousands who died that day). This sort of list 
seems to imply that God only cared for certain people and not for 
others... which given my theology cannot possibly be the case.  < And 
I don't mean to start a theological argument on lace-chat either, 
merely to comment on the shallowness of that type of list >

Maybe the best thing to take from such a list is "You never know what 
will make a difference, or when your time will come. Always be ready 
so that when it comes, you are caught doing the right thing for that 
moment."

And I wonder if it's a Polish trait to be a bit pessimistic, and a 
bit too pragmatic to permit oneself to "feel good" easily, in case 
we're bamboozled... :) Because, *my* immediate reaction was somewhat 
similiar to yours: I remembered that, for every person who missed 
the plane which crashed later on, there was someone who took that 
seat...
