CHAPTER 10: Finding a Better Life

(Reflection Paper)

As a member of our society, we must abide by the requirements of the economic,

the political and cultural institutions. We should be involved in advancing not only our

personal but also the welfare and development of our fellowmen to have a socially useful

life. It is written in the bible that Christ said: to make the blind see, to make the lame walk,

and set the captives free. To make the blind see means we should enlighten those who

are still hunting or searching in the dark on the need to restructure our economic system

to have an equity in our place. To make the lame walk is to encourage those who have

fallen in despair to rise again and not to lose hope to make our country better. And to set

the captives free is to let prisoners or the victim of economic injustice and social

oppression understand that their liberation from everything not by mere creative thought

but by political action. To deduced the author’s explanation, it means that we must help

each other, guide one another in the path that were crossing.

As a christian, I think we should rely on God for our liberation. His words would be

a great basis on how we should live our life. We must start to read more His words or the

bible, and understand it not literally but figure deep meanings in its words. And with this,

I presume that it will help us for our liberation.
