An apathetic world

I was walking past a bakery with glass walls and saw a small girl waving at the passers-by. Unfortunately, no one noticed this poor child who was trying to get their attention. By the time I wanted to wave back at her, she had lost her patience and had gone back to her seat.

This little incident showed me how the world is so busy with its own activity that it fails to notice the needs of others. Jesus came as a baby 2000 years back but if He were to come now, I am not so sure if He can catch our notice, what more obtain our love. The world was simpler and more tranquil back then.
