We are living in the most interesting
time in human history.
Did we choose it? Did God make a
mistake by allowing “Original Sin?” Can God make mistakes? Would perfect
eternal life that never ends have been better for us humans, considering what
we have now?
My favorite question about the entire problem
is, did the woman cause our eternal problem by listening to the serpent instead
of to God? When I read the bible in Hebrew, I feel women are blamed for things
perhaps more than they should be, considering all the stories. We forget they
are the mothers, mates, life-giving humans doing what God tells them to do.
They take a tiny bit of material, light in this case, and convert it to a human
who obeys or ignores the will of the creator. The most important person in my
life is a woman and I remain alive because of her love. Yet I never have found
a satisfactory explanation for the question of what is love. To understand
“Love” we need a story. A human mind creates stories. The story becomes
reality. Go ahead. Think about it. Thinking makes you and me human. A rock or a
tree may think also, but at a different speed. We only deal with what we can
compare to in our environment. Figure that out.
Why do I think we exist in the most
interesting time ever?
I was comfortable in the time of the Cold
War. The Soviet Empire and the Capitalist nations were close to equal on the
world stage and no one had the upper hand. People started weaponizing money and
hurting each other’s economies. War and military industries took over and
resources went to killing instead of improving life. Russia lost Afghanistan,
the Berlin Wall collapsed and Putin took over Crimea. Everywhere poor migrants
attempted to find a better life, and many died. The Soviet block was starving and
well-equipped armies faced off, like Iran against Iraq. The world became more
dangerous. Even family units fought to get on sinking boats and human smuggling
flourished. Many people realized that there was no safe place for them to go
to. Can it get more interesting? It did. Human extinction loomed around.
A beautiful world that has all we need is
being wasted while not just humans but also animals are suffering pains worse
than death for so many, who mostly have done nothing to deserve it. Some are
fighting often just to get on the top of the pile. Most of them don’t need to
do so. They want to win or be ahead, enjoying their addictions and not even
trying to break bad habits. They lost their moral compass. I am watching a
world in danger of destroying itself. I call it “Interesting.”
I am a human and I fear living in such
interesting times. We, the people that after the great wars wanted to give
everything to our children. The children didn’t appreciate the gift and simply
wanted more. We gave to other people, to people who selfishly took what they
could without considering how or when to pay back. They lost the honor that we
tried to instill in them. Some attempted to copy us and make sacrifices, while
many considered cheating to be good business. The leaders gave a bad example.
Not a world to envy. My fear for the world increased. Russian armies attacked
Ukraine, while Israeli armies demolished terrorist camps mercilessly. The
innocent, easily led by religious ferver, died in the thousands. They still do.
They can’t defend themselves, so resort to lies and deception, which weakens
their ability to hold the moral grounds.
My world is unpredictable and interesting,
but there is not much holding it together. We humans set some of it up against
the rest and the peaceful valley that I hide in is in danger of breaking.
People use Social Media to attack each other. Some level of evil filtered
through my perch, causing my ability to use the power of God to diminish, but I
desperately need it while the world is in turmoil.
My body is facing extinction from the inside.
Doctors, technology, and God himself seem to fight for me, but something inside
me is not lined up. I need perfect harmony with the universe which I can’t get.
The world is moving on its own, motivated by
a force that I do not understand but fully trust to do the right thing. Will
there be a world for me after this life is over? I believe so.
Others will bury or cremate me and say the
right words. The “I am” with my name will not know what has changed. If you are
dead, you don’t see yourself from the outside. At least that is what I think.
