Few years ago, I was quite bored & out of boredom, I thought why not look as to what was going on in the world. There were things much above me, but I wanted to know them. To begin with, my curiosity doesn’t kill, so nothing is much of a problem. I went on a cruise of a lifetime & whatever I’ve discovered was there on the map all along.
It’s a place where some have everything & some have nothing. It’s a place where some steal food & some throw it in the dustbin. It’s a place where you could see minds more dirty than the gutters. When the clergy gives order, illegitimate infants are being stoned to death. Sometimes kids are being sexually abused by their best people & such a thing doesn’t exist…at least not in this pious society, to be precise.It’s a place where we see discrimination everywhere. The color matters more than the bloodshed of humanity. We see children of lesser God everywhere or we see people more equal than the equals. This is a place where people are persecuted in the name of religion and color. On top of it, humans with brains do not even spare animals who are being ill-treated, as if inflicting pain is the most fun thing & animals don’t feel pain or anything remotely associated with that sensation.In short, humans & other creatures of God are being trampled on a daily basis. When they say whatever happens, it happens for the good. I just don’t understand how rape victims react to this school of thought. I just haven’t been able to comprehend it as yet & I don’t think I could ever.And then I often hear “My religion is the best religion.” How do people know this? Is this a fact? Or is this an opinion? In any case, opinions, by all means, do not alter facts. Facts are so sacred that we usually don’t discover them. Anyway, God is the Supreme Being & I’m sure He knows the answer better than us mortals who have worked so hard in making this place a living nightmare.Anyhow, if everything happens for a reason, then the meaning of reason is not clear to my mind.
