Now that the precautions are done, let’s move on. The reason why I picked up this topic is because I was under a deep thought regarding the issue of religion and hate and whatnot, and to be honest I was in oblivion until recently when a brainstorm swept me away.
To explain what I have thought of(It’s not that extraordinary, do not get your hopes up)I had to come up with a story, hope you enjoy it, try and read it in a Morgan freeman voice, it sounds nice that way.
Once upon a time, there lived a hobbit in the deep mountains who was very dear to god, he was living a simple life praising the lord, one fine day, God said to the man “you are quite a young man, I like you, so as a gift I would like to offer you wisdom, to attain wisdom all you have to do is that you have to cross the cave that is under the mountains and do not worry I will give you a light as a help which will lead you out of the cave”. The man was overjoyed at this declaration so he set out for the cave,
Once he reached the cave, he saw a light so he started following it without much delay. As the man started to venture, he started thinking, “If I follow the light, I might not receive the complete wisdom, so I must take things into my own hands”. So the man closed his eyes and started walking, and obviously he started walking the wrong direction.
As you might have figured it out, the ‘man’ was the entire humanity, the ‘light’ was the teachings that we were taught. since the dawn of humanity, humans have been walking in the wrong direction all because they want perfection, control, dominance and if you ask me ADAM and EVE were the perfect example.
(quick realisation-what if the story of ADAM and EVE was the story of humanity in a quirky manner so that we may understand it)(and obviously, humans have misinterpreted it)
Humans have this unending desire to be in control, and as a result, they have a pseudo-control over the world religions, they believe that they are in the right path but honestly, they are blindly following something that is long gone.
We have interpreted, created and diminished whatever was taught to us by “GOD” and now humans have become the GODS. Loss of faith, violence, retalliations, branching are considered bad but we have never put a step forward to understand why is this so, instead we just blame it on the DEVIL.
Let us all try and become what we were supposed to be and not let ourselves fall into our own traps and not be the Devil under the garment of God.
Thank you.
