Ok...i just stole the title from Chief Seathl's "A Simple Philosophy"...but its totally different from what he wrote,though i really love what he wrote. I just wanted to put down some of my inexplicable thoughts in my too simple writing that equals to a simple philosophy.
Long story short-For some time i had really been baffled, angry, sad and frustrated and maybe even numb at the world and God...hmm..i felt like the world is just going into nothingness!! Some days back, i saw a poor old man on the bus and when i looked at him, he had such a sad look on his face. And out of no where, my hot tears just came rolling down and i looked stupid. Why so much hurts, injustice, sadness? Then i just remembered my simple philosophy, something that had gradually built up over the years...something i always forget when in doubt and frustration...i was just tracing back the roots of all these evil....So i went back to the Bible...It all started with Lucifer. For those who don't buy this story, just forget it. God had made everything beautiful..Adam and Eve-Pure and Innocent!!! And on the other side, something called evil had started building inside a beautiful and talented Angel called Lucifer and Lucifer wanted more than what he had been given. God saw this tiny black spot among His white and pure Heaven. So He threw Lucifer away....Coming back to my situation, i was mad at God as to why He did not kill Lucifer right away...Little do i know God...i had forgotten that God was too loving...that He is the God of second chances...He must have waited for Lucifer to come back again like the lovesick father waiting for his prodigal son. But Lucifer never came back...:(....had he ever come to God for forgiveness, God would surely have forgiven him.
My simple philosophy is that, evil slowly started creeping, contagiously...the damage had already been done when lucifer seduced innocent Eve with the sparkling beautiful apple. From that moment on till date, evil has ruled the earth and God knows for how long...Evil is the cause for all these injustice, inequality, hatred....and do i think God is just standing, watching, playing dice on us?...u bet i do...but lately i have realised why Jesus came into the picture....Son of God, God Himself littling Himself....degrading himself, by becoming the creation of His own creation....cell,foetus,baby,little boy growing in a normal poor family...and dying for Us....does it make sense?..He did it, so that one day there will be a new world to love, to forgive,to respect and live in total synchronisation with each other....Thats where my simple philosophy lies....
Yes,all of us still have all those questions....God,why do you allow so much pain? how can You,Dear God, watch all these evil and just stand? when an innocent man is killed, when the poor little kid is being exploited, dying of hunger, when the pure virgin girl is raped and dumped and kept silent....the hungry kid looking at the fat rich kid eating chocolate....people losing everything they had and they dont know why......exploitation,torture,violence,injustice.....its frustrating!!
Its too hard to imagine Heaven when you see all these on earth.....Things does not make sense at all...I have no logical or whatsoever answer to my simple philosophy. But all i do believe is that there sure is a heaven,an eternity...though its so hard to imagine!! And Jesus is the way, the Absolute Truth...A King coming to save humanity is no joke, no matter how you Atheists and non-believers laugh at the Jesus' story!! You dont have a Saviour, i do have...i do have something to believe and hope for!! I'd be labelled a fool for believing in God and Jesus...But im too in love not to believe, too obssessed not to hope....Call it madness, Call me crazy but God isn't playing a cruel joke on me or the world!!
