Thought of the Day: Lazarus (29 Dec 2011)

Opened my door to go to office this morning. Staring at me just outside is this cat, with cute eyes and as if the cat is talking to me.

It dawned on me that the rich man in the parable treated Lazarus as if he was an animal sitting at his gate. The rich man did not pay Lazarus any heed nor feed him, because he is of no concern to the rich man, Lazarus is just another animal trying to survive.

How often have I treated others like this, ignoring people around us, like what we do with strays? I am not concerned for them, passing them by while I continue on my life.
