I came to my computer tonight to find many messages and pop-ups informing me of a very powerful virus attacking my computer. Windows believed the best way to solve this problem was to download the latest windows antivirus software which would find the virus no other spyware could pick up and then once i purchased the product it would fix my computer.
I couldn't help but think that perhaps there is a lesson to be learned in this. A moral of this story. It reminded me of the talk Amy Hay did on viruses at the OBY camp a few years ago. The Computer being us, the vessel for God's work as he sits on the computer and types out the complex formulas for the growth of the sunflowers outside my bedroom window, the labyrinthine blueprints for a 35 degree sunshine, and the intricate designs of a gentle wind. But yet through some means or another the foul stench of iniquities plagues itself into our harddrive, through our software, and into the depths of space we are unaware we have. And thus today howling winds father fires and burn so much life to nothing but black smoke rising in the sky clouding the warmth and light of the sun. Could it be that these viruses are like the propaganda of false friends? Or the misinterpretation of advice? The reality is, it doesn't matter how the virus finds it's way to us, but moreso how we strive to destroy it. Another almost irrelevant fact is by whom the viruse was sent. A friend? An enemy? A Family member? So back to the question of how to destroy a potential black plague, for this virus i find i have, i see no means to destroy nor a conclusion to even finding it. So the first thing that is imperative to do is to find which part of our lives this wreched infestation has befallen upon. Not always is this possible in this case and thus i am at a loss of what to do. This is not only upsetting to me as the computer, but also to the User. God. What is he to do? Go downstairs and watch some boring old dvd on an outdated movie that probably never hit the big screen? Listen to Creed as they scream at the top of their lungs "yea yea, somebody told me the wrong way"? You see neither of these catalyse an outcome and thus are useless both here and now and in the future. No we must enlist the help of a friend, someone who is able to use their talents of mending computers (which we don't have) to help solve the catastrophe we, and God face. You see if we give in to crowd, to purchasing the product that costs more than it costs to get the computer fixed and is without guarentee of being fixed, then we are falling subject to the virus' intent itself, for viruses were created to create the industry of antivirus software, and although it is essential to have such software these days, it is not essential to purchase something when only one programme that can track the virus, for it will be that the only purpose of such a virus is to make money for the company that is able to fix it. You can fill your trash can with the nauseating affliction of this virus simply by relying on the help of your God-gifted friends, whether they be a prayer warrior, or a computer specialist.
