…We often wonder why there is suffering and pain in the world we live in. Each individuals anguish is like a dagger thrust inside them. We all empathize with them, pray for them, hope for them. But what will happen shall happen. Why nature does this to us is never resolved or answered through centuries of questioning. We all live each day to face and perhaps find solution. Some are fortunate and find it, many do not. Those that do, feel blessed. Those that do not feel tormented. This juggle, this jigsaw is the worlds greatest mystery. It was because of this mystery that we were drawn and attracted to the supernatural. To a force that we did not imagine or believe to be true, but knew it was there. This force then took on the shape of our God’s and from then on grew the strongest manifestation that the human ever embellished – religion !
Today it is the cause for war, for separation, for belief, for disbelief, for gaining strength, for gaining territory, for destroying and capturing. Religion was designed to glorify the force of the unknown – God. To be disciplined to a belief ; on conduct and prayer, on rituals and in celebration. But look around us and we shall find that there is not a single space of turmoil where religion does not play a part. Is this the reason it was designed – to divide us, to bring us into conflict and confrontation ? One likes to live in hope and prayer for a better tomorrow, but would it come, this tomorrow. Would it ..??
I like belief. I like the thought of believing even when there is nothing to believe. I am not an agnostic. I would like to give the argument that yes, there is a force that moves and binds us. But what it is and how it functions is something that I am completely unaware of. We live in hope forever for its benevolence, but we do not know its functions. In a modern world, a world where science and technology has an answer for everything, it is ridiculous that we still do not know much. In fact we do not even know that. Many desire that they should be in the knowledge of knowing what abounds around us, many wish that that knowledge be left alone. Who knows what lies in store for us as we get closer to the Almighty and who knows what path we need to take in the matter. Great philosophers, scientists, technologists and so many qualified personnel spend hours and hours of work to come to any credible answer to this, but fail. Maybe it is better to accept failure, and give way to rational argument. But where does argument ever become rational. There is always the matter of the other side, or the other opinion. So at times it is best left alone.
The Almighty has His ways and they may not all seem very encouraging, but I believe that there is reason in its execution. So help me God...
O ! Lord of the Heavens, celestial Benefactors, and the Angels of all that is as serene and gentle and kind and caring as the feathered wonders of the upper divisions of the Earth, where the Makers reside … make me o dear of benevolent clime, a voice that can be powered to instill within them, a message of well being and peace !!
How do they manage to do what they do, without conscience, or feeling, and continue to live a peaceful life … or whatever kind of life they live !!!
If then you shall excuse me, I would like to go and strengthen the ties that exist between the fresh law and those desperately wanting to believe in it ..
Love to all...
DiL.
