How often do you just wonder, without any given reason, "Why things are as they are?" Some people attribute human nature to the ills of this world, and "good luck" as a strange and fortunate side effect that occurs at times. Others believe that supernatural causes, such as "destiny", "fate", "strange luck", or simply said, "God", are the cause for the events that happen. I just know one thing, for I can not disprove any of the above theories......... "That one can only believe in what one feels, not in what one learns from others......." Oh, you can be convinced of things, but given time, under your own wings, you begin to realize what holds substancial ground for you, and what does not. Ever stop to consider the following: The largest religion in the world is the catholic religion, one to which I pertain. Strangely enough, this religion was the creator of the concept of "The Devil", which makes me think, "Why?" Where I live, many believe you must suffer to reach Heaven....what if you are already in Heaven's playground. Are we not all supposed to be God's children, and does not a parent look over his children. Think of it this way....the world is Heaven's sandbox, and we are barely making our sand castles and mud pies....the ones with the mud pies are the ones always complaining. When we pass on to another life, we are given toys in the House of God, depending on how we played in the "sandbox"..... I do not believe in a harsh God that punishes or that sends devils to tempt us. We all commit our own triumphs and failures, and I suppose that are nature is to blame some unseen, supernatural creature for our flaws and weaknesses. I just want to enjoy the sandbox and play in the house once I pass on...................as always, one must remind people, that this is my opinion, just like it is my opinion that all the gods worshipped in virtually all forms of religion are the one and same "God".......but like children, we have to convince the rest that are "parent" is the best.....when we all have the same parent............. Human, no.......????????
