I believe I doubt I believe I doubt The doubt of believing!
Is it fair to give a God, a power greater, the Universal one, credit/ blame for all tragic events that happen? Should we not apply common sense and logic in the natural order of nature? Simple logic says that if you live near water, you may get your feet wet! However if you live near a Mountain you may get struck by a rock! Cold climate may bring snow and blizzards!
Human beings have struggled with the notion of a supreme power for ever and will until it's finished and complete. Try to imagine a world without the notion of a Power Greater than humanity!
Nature in it's infinite wisdom stands and watches the human race struggle on a daily basis in it's quest for power and wanting to be the supreme one.
In our efforts to be God like, God given, God sent, God said, God should, God would. This is a lot effort and brain draining exercise that may cause harmful effects? By it's own hands the human race has been killing one an other for centuries. Nature only by virtue of it's being has taken an insurmountable amount of life! A God at the center of nature or nature at the center of God?
Mind boggling as it is, we insist on blaming an entity that we have not seen or talked to in a tangible way! This will cause a negative reaction in most people, however insecure you may think the writer, the writer is secure in the reality of common sense and logic!
The greatest gift to humanity is the ability to think and process those thoughts, having the choice in choosing with whom we share our logic. Many would believe that others have the ability to read an other human mind! The keen mind may read body language and interpret it as being able to read what one may be thinking!
Do we give to much credence to the human intelligence? Feelings and emotions should not be part of the intellectual equation. Thinking with your head as opposed to thinking with your heart may cause personal terminal damage! Science has made great strides in figuring out the fluids that drive human nature. The human skeleton along with all the internal mass and fluids that keep it breathing is short of a "Miracle." I would prefer using an other idea or thought that may explain the human animal.
Is there any spiritual value in the human skeleton? Is there any spiritual value in the human mind? Is there any spiritual value in life? Man made religions may try to teach us how to reach a spiritual axiom. Taking the breath of life out of any living organism does offend Nature in it's purest form? Nature functions without malice and forethought and does not destroy with purpose. Where does that leave the blame?
We are back to common sense and logic. Could applying those principles be the most spiritual awareness one may have? Science and religion has spent an eternal amount of time trying to figure out what is already there! How important is it to know why and how it functions? Many minds have lost touch with reality and have created an insecure society that does not know what to believe! How much does luck play in our personal survival? Is luck spiritual?
Human natures instinct is to react emotionally to personal and worldly tragic events. Pain and personal suffering is what keeps us equal. Fame and fortune is not exempt from pain, loneliness, insecurity and all the trappings that human nature is threaded with.
Nature will continue to evolve with or without the human animal. Nature is not aware and cares little of what the human animal is doing on the earth. The balance of nature will not be disturbed, contrary to what the scientist may want us to believe. However as human beings we may learn and live by natures perfect balance and live in harmony with our surroundings. Nature does not wage war against humanity, however humanity has waged war against Nature!
It is not my place or purpose to prove the existence or non existence of a supreme being that may sit at the head of all nature and the universe. We as the human animal in our minds and spirit will live in a belief system that gives us comfort that will carry us until such time we return to the arms of Nature.
