'Miracles' we are tired of

Iftekhar Sayeed, On e-mail
Rationalists have long claimed that miracles never happen. I beg to differ. In Bangladesh, miracles happen not only every day, but every hour. When we get electricity, it is a miracle. When we get water, it is a miracle. When we come back home in one piece, it is a miracle. I spent a week in Bangkok in the middle of a raging flood, and there was no power failure, no water shortage. What a dull place without miracles! When will our country get rid of miracles, and become dull? The Lord only knows.
