"God, in his elaborate game of dice, has given man the gift of reason, of choice of which he many have more than one.
But every man has but one destiny"
This man. He journeys from cradle to grave in pursuit of his destiny. Lucky are those who find it earlier than most. Lucky are those who don't.
The pursuit is a measure of the man's temperament. Adjectives range from laid-back to feverish to describe his quest to unravel his plan for him.
Life quite unlike in the movies, has a script of its own. Each mans life observed independently, each life stand-alone fits into a larger puzzle. A jigsaw that needs a macroscopic perspective. A perspective that you and me are far too insignificant to have.
Here is an analogy for the analogists, what if god is just a naughty kid out to have fun?
What if we are guinea pigs in his basement box?
What if we are running through life in much the same manner those rodents run on circular discs?
What if he is trying to understand us in much the same fashion that we are trying to understand him ?
Like how we are trying to 'know' him.
What if our god is answerable to his parents ?
What if he has his own god to pray to every Sunday ?
What if there is no god ?
Then again what if... there is ?
Would it change the ways of our lives ? Would we be any different?
Would you have hugged your parents today ?
Would i have scored more in CAT ?
Would the hungry in Sierra Leone be blessed with a meal tonight ?
The list is endless.
The answer is mostly no.
So where does this take our discussion. God is an idea.. a very comforting idea invented by Man. His invention became something that he could no longer take control of. Like in those creepy robot movies. His instrument became his destiny. God stood for everything good, noble and correct. Till divinity began to be indoctrinated into a charter to benefit a selfish few majority.
All things detrimental to intellectual progress and more importantly to their own branded ungodly.
There are questions that don't have answers. And then there are questions which are pursuits in themselves. A pursuit of destiny. The same one that took our man from cradle to his grave.
Many questions.. more doubts but there is one certainty.
Each man has but one destiny. It is the scale of his being that separates a saviour from a non entity.
A NEO from a MORPHEOUS.
The capacity to change the world lie in the corrugations of our palms.
Hence... you and not he who has the whole world in your hands.
make the most of it... while your still alive.
"For he can only show me the door. My faith must walk me through it "

consider this analogy...suppose humans had never developed the power of vision except a few..they would tell the others about colours but obviously the others wud be incapable of even understanding the existence of such a thing n its up to them whether they choose to believe it or not..but it does exist as they wud find out after they evolve more..the situation cud well be like that n God may be more than just an idea...God knows :)
