It’s been interesting to watch this scene in the last few days. Some are celebrating him as a hero. Some could care less. And some have a lot of disdain for him based on his history. And then I started thinking a bit.
If Billy Graham died today, would the response be the same for him?
Soldier after solider died. There is no parade or memorial of any true magnitude.
How much money that is being made on his funerals and memorials and sales could be better used to feed homeless, irrigate the waterless, and feed the hungry?
What all did MJ do for humanitarian efforts in comparison to, say, Bill Gates or Bono?
What is the legacy, the real legacy, he leaves behind – the sum total?
Not trying to be cynical or critical here. But it seems to me that our world is so skewed in the balance of all things.
