I came across a quote yesterday, that said 'what if God did not believe in religion?'
I was impressed with the thought because for one, I hate the discrimation that is done to people in the name of religion and second I am troubled by the way some really profound and meaningful intracasies of religion are misused for the benefit of a few.
Think about it.. What if God (the one that you believe in) is sitting up there and laughing at the exchange offers you have for God. What if God is upset by the way we humans are treating lives. What if God is disheartened to see humanity steep lower and lower everyday.
What if God was devastated seeing the death of truth, honesty, care, respect, kindness, brevity, compassion, imagination, generosity and such other traits that formed the core of humans.
I am not writing this one to blame anyone, the idea is to simply throw light on the real purpose we are all here for - Life..
We are here to live, support, nourish and fructify life. The trees around us, the animals around, the variety of species and humans are all nothing but different forms of life.
Let's make the most of this life because although few religions may talk about life after death, we don't really know what happens after death.
Incidentally, the Corona outbreak and the lockdown happened at the time we were all taking life a bit too seriously and for granted substantially. All of us have now registered the value of self care, importance of exercise, benefit of rest. We have rediscovered the worth of love, family, friends and harmony.
Water plants around you, feed homeless, show some care towards animals and be truthful to every relationship. Take on problems bravely and be content with all that you are blessed with. Cherish the love you have got and accept that those who came and are gone were never meant to be.
Life is that simple indeed. It has become our habit to exaggerate little issues and then worry about them. Many times there is no problem but we seem to be hunting for one always.
Have you noticed, when you see someone in a situation, we may advice a particular reaction but behave the very opposite when the same situation applies to us??
That is why someone has said 'Easier said than done' now let's work towards turning this quote exactly the opposite, 'Easier done than said'
Perhaps then, hurdles like appearance, age, gender and above all, gender will never influence how we treat other forms of life around us.
Respect and Foster life.
