Syrian Catholics I chose the Syrian Catholics because they are being persecuted for their beliefs. I am fortunate enough to live in a country where I am able to express my religion freely, while others are dying because of a simple disagreement. It's sad to think that some people can't even say what they believe just because someone thinks that they are wrong. It's hard to imagine that across the world, many people, including priests, men, and women are getting executed just for professing their faith openly. I feel so bad for these people because I am able to enjoy my life while they live in constant fear and insecurity. For all I know, these Catholics are being murdered by the dozens while I complain about religion class. Just thinking about all of the things in the world that I take for granted, and even complain about, makes me feel ungrateful. God gave me a wonderful life, and I haven't stopped once today to thank him, but adults and children just like me are being persecuted for believing in God. Sometimes I guess we just forget to be thankful for all that we have in life.
