dear life 23

dear life
today was considered an important religious day for Shiite Muslims, and our country as always was up front in holding memorial ceremonies. people gather in mosques and even set up tents around the city to hold preachings and mourn for their loss, they cook food that is believed to bring God's blessings, they march in the streets with symbolic performances, ... all of which seem of great values. but it is so contradictory to see how in their namingly spiritual festivities, they forget to somehow observe the rights of other humans. they cause traffic, they make noises, they sacrifice animals, they cook food to feed the well-fed people, they leave trash all over the streets, ... as such, do the ceremonies really help them find some spiritual meaning, or are they again some means for achieving more and more of the worldly part of you? isn't there any better way to use the festivities in better ways?
i was wondering how God sees and judges such matters? does these really mean something to him, considering all the wrong involved, all the wrong the same men commit day in, day out? i would be thankful if you could ask him for me about that, and i am all ears for an answer. thanks.
