Different variations in life pretty much form a myriad of problems for the toughest of men. Factor in the issue of life after death and you got a serious case of scrambled thinking. But one fact that holds sway is that death is surely nearby. The time it strikes not yet decoded by the most sophisticated technology available to man, unless some cynics will say that doctors can almost accurately predict death in cases of fatal illnesses like cancer. Mind you, some have cheated such predictions by a mile and even outlived the person predicting. Whatever the cause of such a 'miracle' isn’t the point of my genuflections.
My primary concern is the establishment of the force behind this gigantic titan called the globe or the universe. Scientists have definitely given us a lot to think about but I want to home in on Charles Darwin. Cant say am a great mind in the theory of evolution but the basics I can grasp. Got a question for this school of thought. Why hasn’t man gone further in evolving into something else or is this the last stage of the evolution process? Too bad the father of this school of thought can’t address this but I hope someone else will do.
Zeroing in on the issue of the being behind this phenomenon, earth, religions come into the fore. So many religions, sects, ‘ways of life’, etc exist that some have chosen to go by the way of using different gimmicks to carve a niche for themselves in advancing whatever cause they uphold. I have my views on this but for the sake of trying to be open – minded having found myself in the 21st Century, I wouldn’t argue for my belief. But the poser I got is this, no matter the nomenclature it goes by, any religion, sect or whatever it may be called that preaches peace, love, selflessness, devotion, tolerance and all the other goody goody virtues, isn’t it logical to follow same and leave the fight of supremacy to the God or gods involved? If the worshipped is worth its salt, it will fight the other pretenders without help from us. The act of killing, maiming and disregard for life in the name of religion, goes to show that the god being fought for, is but a weak figment of the imagination which has been imposed on the unlucky followers. Bottom-line, leave the fight to the supernatural beings, let the living live. After death, we will find out what actually is the way forward, either the God or god comes to us, or we go to them.
