All I ever wanted in life was to be able to understand. I have spent many hours searching, reading, talking and learning. Why is the only question never to be answered. Something even a child knows, I remember my children used to think it very funny when I gave an answer they would reply why. This would carry on no matter how many answers I gave them, followed by bouts of laughter.
Life, nothing ever made sense to me, I could try to explain it but because I did not understand what I was seeing, it was hard to put into words. Many people that suffer in this world will ask why, worst of all our children. to which I will never begin to understand.
I am not a religious person, I believe in one god yes, I don't belong to a church and I don't preach religion but I do get annoyed when I hear people blaming God for our suffering. My reasons are very clear to me, all too often man/woman uses him as an escape goat. Responsibility for our health and lives lies with us. People who hurt others must accept their responsibility and their friends, mothers, cousins, brothers or sisters must stop giving them excuses. Lenient sentences are dished out on a daily basis in our courts because perpetrators of crime can give so many excuses as to why it was not their fault.
We accept these excuses because as humans we cannot face up to our own kinds ability to commit such vile and cruel acts. I thoroughly believe that God does not make monsters, responsibility for that lies with us.
Totally RIGHT ON POINT!!!! Thank you!
ReplyDeletePeace, Nico
..And what monsters we have become. God must weep.
ReplyDeleteI weep.
I don't want to have to weep anymore.
Or to shout and cry and beg and question.
But peace comes at a great price, are we willing to keep on then?
To take responsiblity were others will not?
I can't do it on my own. Can you?
Please, please refuse silence.

I am not religious in anyway but i totally understand your point.
ReplyDeleteThe blame lies with the monster and no one else. They need to take responsibility and be held accountable for their actions.
What upsets me sometimes is when i hear people say 'god forgives all, jesus died for our sins, ask for forgiveness and you will be forgiven and allowed into the gates of heaven' - this annoys the hell out of me (and i guess is a reason why im not religious) how on earth could this be true, that no bad deed will be punished if you ask for forgiveness? I dont know makes no sense to me. Same as if i hear people blaming god for our suffering. Removing the blame from the criminal onto a god. NO the blame lies with the criminal! I'll stop talking now as i could babble on for hours about stuff like this that upsets me. I just wanted you to know i understand a lot of what you said

YES and AMEN!
ReplyDeleteI believe God gave people free will. I also believe people use that free will in their own way. Perpetrators twist it into something without giving a second thought to another human's well being or feelings.
