4A Chapter by Amy CowanThere are things going on in
this world which we don't understand, these things you may call inhuman.
Those who try to understand these things shall get no answers. I do not
try to understand them and I do not want to understand them. Whether or not these
things are here to cause us harm or not is unknown. Somehow my mother got hurt.
Out of every family in the world this has to effect mine. I remember her last
moment. A moment where she looked me in the eyes one last time as the life
was sucked out of her. It was as if she wasn't there anymore, as if she was
being taken from me second by second and bit by bit. This has made me think
about all those times when I was younger that my mother brought me to church.
This was before her condition got worse. I used to listen attentively. There
was one session that totally changed my belief, well I didn't really know what
to believe as I was young. The service was planned to be about souls but
when we arrived we found that it was about Karma. The minister told us that bad
things happen to those who deserve it. He said if something bad happens to one
person then that person is a bad person. I peered at my mother throughout this
service thinking this can't be true, my mother couldn't deserve to have this
condition. She didn't deserve to have her husband/ my father disappear on her.
The minister was implying that my mother deserved all of this. She had never
done anything wrong in her life and if she had done something in a past life
then why punish her in this life. Shortly after this service we did not
return to the church as my mother’s condition got worse and she did not like
leaving the house very much. © 2013 Amy Cowan |
