Missing Theology

One fine day (while, for some, it might not be that "fine"), one good but little known friend from other planet cracked joke for me. I was trying to get the gist of his joke but unfortunately it never happened. For my friend, he still find his own joke very funny and he laughed all along until the end of the joke. Just to avoid embarrassment, I joined him, though I felt little awkward. Realizing that I was not quite following him, he started to explain the joke. Now, when the joke is explain or translated, it is not that funny as it should be in the first impression. I finally realized that I will never understand my friend's joke until I immerse myself into his community. Now, another story which is happening in most of the Asian countries is missing theology. I don't need to explain the meaning of 'theology'. We understand generally that it has something related to God.
