"I'm losing my religion..."

Perpetually at war we are.

The eternal struggle to prove the righteousness of one decree in Faith. It is the human ego at war. Every man believes that his path in Faith is the righteous one. Once that is established in his mind he will then go to all lengths to make the world bend to his will. That's right "his" will. Faith has nothing to do with it. He will use religion as just another excuse to dominate all others.

There is only one Truth. And even though not all of us believe in the same truth there will come a time when the Truth will become undeniable. Wait for that time with patience and fortitude.

And until that time, let your Faith become hope for humanity and not a means to end it.

Every Man's Prejudice(2)...

Tell a man his imperfections and you will gain insight into his ego.

Man is in denial. An utter state of denial.
His belief is in his mis-understanding of himself. He cannot be anything other than what he believes himself to be: perfect.

But wait for that day. That fateful day and all shall be revealed. And to his shame, he will find the contrary to be true.
For on that day it will dawn on him and a harsh acceptance shall be thrust upon his ego. He may choose to open his mind to it, or he may close his heart upon it forever...or atleast he can try.

No heart can exist forever in candid denial.

Every Man's Prejudice...

I've said it before and I'll say it again; no man is perfect.

Every man has that one thing, that one integral thing that defines his imperfection. It is evident in some but hidden in most.

Human beings don't like admitting to their imperfections. But in not admitting their imperfections human beings do themselves a great dis-service.

All our lives we strive to gain the highest respect in the eyes of those around us and in the process, hiding our imperfections relentlessly. But what we do not realise is that It cannot be done forever. One day our imperfections shall be revealed and on that day we will be unveiled for what we truly are: Human.

Being human is not necessarily a handicap even though it means existing in a state of perpetual imperfection. For it is in this imperfection that exists our true potential.

It is this imperfection that has, over the centuries, created the course of human progress, in which humanity strives constantly (despite the lackings embedded within it) to better itself and the world it exists in. Such imperfection is incredibly valuable; nay, priceless!

See into the Heart of your Enemy.

It's easy to hate from a distance. From afar people tend to appear ruthlessly mean, pretentious, rude, materialistic, cocky and cheap.

But to look at a person up-close is to truly get get to the heart of it all.

The question is, why would any man carry such burdens of evil within him willingly?

A heart must have been through much suffering to force it to carry such burdens just so it would never have to suffer again...

'Tis a very sad heart. A very lonely heart.

I dreamt of the sea....

Blue it was.
Eternally blue.
With depth
that could swallow,
all of humanity.

But it did not.

It stayed in its place,
(blue as it was)
with all its wisdom.
Pondering its own existence.

I asked the sea,
"Why do you ponder so?
Is your existence
not plain to thee?".

The blue sea smiled,
its wonderful blue smile
and answered back to me;

"Dear little child,
you are young and I very old.
I have lived an eternity,
maybe even more.

Yet I still see within me,
wonders I did not know
and I am humbled".

"Is that why
you do not swallow humanity?",
asked I.

The blue sea smiled,
its curious blue smile,
and said to me:

"Nay child,
I would not swallow humanity.
I possess no such power.

For I am but the deep blue sea
and nothing more.

I too shall be overcome."

A Tsunami that shakes the very Faith inside...

You see all the pain and suffering within this world and you wonder: "Where is God", "If He is truly such a loving God, how can He let all this suffering exist within the world."

We blame God for everything.

I do not deny that God has power over everything and everything good or evil happens because He allows it to be. But then we have been granted a will as well. True we cannot always alter what happens around us but we are not as helpless as we like to believe we are.
We have been granted the strength, the courage and the determination to challenge all the odds, to stand tall even in the face of defeat.

Tragedy befalls humanity not to weaken it, but to challenge the very will that it holds within it. When the human will bravely faces adversity, it only makes it stronger. And with a strengthened will, humanity moves forth into that which is the unknown.
Undoubtedly hearts will break and tears will fall by the millions but it must be done. For our own betterment, it must be done

Terrible anguish is suffered by the child when it is released from it's womb. In a state of anger, despair, confusion and so cold is that child, but it must be done.

And do not forget who endures the most pain...
