Perth Streets

After leaving the gym tonight I walk to the train station in the City. There was no-one around except drug addicts, alcoholics, the mentally ill and fanatical religious worshippers. They all either wanted my money or fo me to follow Jesus. As I walked I chatted with a nice Christian who had found god and Jesus and he prayed for me that Jesus would enter my life in the next 24 hours.

After leaving the Christian I plugged my Ipod in and could only hear beautiful love music as I passed stumbling drunks as they put out hands in front of me begging for money. I looked straight ahead as though they were not there and felt a little annoyed with them. Why are they throwing their lives away? They could have so much in this Australia the land of plenty. People from other countries die trying to escape to Australia.

I then also wondered I am I bad for ignoring them? Heartless? Perhaps one was even Jesus testing my compassion for the world?
