We can’t escape responsibility. Each generation is responsible for inheriting
the world, modifying it and then passing it on.
We only have temporary custody of this planet, but what we choose to do
with it will have eternal consequences.
Pondering the profound and ambiguous may seem like trying to read in the
dark – a futile attempt to extract meaning in a sphere where our senses are far
too inadequate.
“YOLO; Live for the moment, as long as
you’re happy, it’s all relative.” The acceptance
of this apophatic existence may be mere excuses that justify living the way we
want to. “God may or may not exist...who
knows, so why let it affect your life?”
See it can’t be a black and white
issue. Either this
Entity/Force/Being/Power exists and the structure of things is the way that the
prophets, saints and mystics have said it is…
…Or it’s not.
Like C.S. Lewis said, either Jesus is a
madman or real. If he’s either then a
vague respect for Him is inappropriate.
Sure there can be variation on what you see
God as, but all the major religions advocate the fact that, since God exists,
our lives should be rearranged fundamentally.
That’s the path to true peace. The
amazing thing is that this God, although infinitely bigger and deeper and
transcendental, penetrates our lives. Hello
there ants, let’s have a cup of tea.
Boil that tea so that the substance transmutes to a higher state - from liquid to vapor. Please. If not, then ditch the tea and get your kicks from drugs.
“What is man that you are mindful of him,
the Son of man that ...you set him a little lower than the angels”. But God prefers human worship to that of
angels because we have free choice.
Yes, I know you’re Mommy’s little
angel. Now what are you going to do
about it?
