i just finished watching the movie Paradise Now. This film was very interesting. I myself have negative views on martyrs. I do not like how martyrs say how it is Gods will.. God does not want us to commit suicide. This is considered a sin! How do they think that committing suicide is considered being heroic or courageous. to me committing suicide is the cowardly way because that person does not want to deal with life and its struggles. Another thing that i do not understand is how martyrs or people in the middle east are mad and angry with the system and then go and commit suicide and kill others with them inst that the same thing as what they are mad about to me this is considered as being a hypocrite " do as i say not what i do" How does their idea of settling something better than what they are mad about? Why end your life trying to make the world better and thinking that when you do commit suicide that things will change. If things change don't you want to live through the change.There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. When i think of martyrs the first thing that comes to my mind is 911..All of those innocent people died so that the martyrs could make a point. i am just so lucky that no one i new was in the building or the planes. i thank God everyday that i am alive and living. I live life to the fullest each and every day because i know that is what God wants me to do!
