Trend

Nowadays trends are confusing and irritating, also contain stupid (in my personal view, if you think it’s okay; then so be it) philosophy.

Movies and books today have similar story, they put the darkness creature (vampire, werewolf, witch, and blablabla) as the main protagonist.

While Harry Potter makes people (especially children) think being a witch seems cool and fun, Twilight charmed the teen (especially girls) by the cool image of the vampires and the werewolf.

Looking at the past when the people despised the darkness creature so much, it is such an irony for the world indeed.

How come hunted witches whom believed to be servants of the satan now being admired?

What the heck is wrong with this generation?

People used to afraid and see the vampire and werewolf as dangerous creatures, now they are adored because of their new look?

I admit, as a writer I had experienced temptation to write something new, absurd, and trying to rebel the common thought including the faith and belief. (truth is I managed to finish one dark story, romance between a Devil Lord and a noble princess that cast away her humanity and God, duh~) After all, in my study (literature) we were taught to think out of the box in order to create a new work.

Again, in my old condition, I would think these kind of absurd stories are okay; yet I am a new person with different mindset now.

I’m not a hater of Harry Potter and Twilight,

I used to read Harry Potter in my junior high time and I wanted to learn the art of magic then (I even made a list of spells from the books). I believed Hogward existed and wanted to join the school, I was so absorbed into the story that I forgot about the truth.  

 Then the Twilight, I bought the book before the people noticed about it. I read it and yeah, mesmerized by the romance. A love (especially to a pretty vampire) that able to makes people to throw everything away (no offense, but I realize Twilight is a two-bit story). Enchanted teens then dreaming for their own vampires or werewolves, worshiping the darkness creatures, some even want to be vampires (I was…).

The conclusion is, those trends are teaching this generation to worshiping the darkness creature (the mister satan and cronies…) instead of worshipping the Lord. Showing that darkness is not scary and evil at all, it’s full of adventure, joy, beautiful people, and way more fun than following God.

The world is indeed crazy, to see people prefer the doom by following the trends and the satan than salvation by surrender your life to the Lord is tragic.
