right wing fundamentalist of all kinds [ political , religious , or whatever ] end up causing trouble for the masses in the middle of the mess . but you will find them in all religions and all politics . it is a good hustle and can be a well paying job . stir the pot , keep the masses off balance and attack the OTHER . doubting dhobi and doubting thomas . keep them out of the kitchen and do not let them feed the elephants . and vote against them when they run for election . and as a member of the masses in the middle of this mess that is life i try to remember that the world is always in balance , even when i can not see the balance or see the reason for the mess . i just keep on trucking in the direction that leads to good food , good friends and good conversation . follow the menu . . . . . may we all find what we need at our dining table , no matter who the cook is .
the glass . half full OR half empty ?
i do not believe that the planet earth is made for humans . the planet is . and not all humans can be accused of making a mess . and if in the end humans are gone then so be it . the rats and the cockroaches and the crabgrass will not miss us . i do not think that the worms will either . when the planet is not in balance it will explode or implode or dissolve or burn or drown OR . . . . . . . . but if you [ we ] believe in the all powerful god then we just have to trust that he knows what he [ she ] is doing and that is that . our perception is only that . perception . someone somewhere is always happy . and someone somewhere is always unhappy . such is life . and the happy and the unhappy are not always the same all of the time . the adaptable among us may be able to be happy more often than not . but the swing and flow of life is such that we have to take the good with the bad most of the time . if it does not kill us it should make us stronger . someone said that some time ago .
in my opinion god is all powerful . and in my opinion god does not care . he does not care who wins wars or football games . he does not care to mind us and he does not want to be bothered . as heidi says he built the divine in us and that was enough . for him and for us .
i do not want to get anyone started , but i do enjoy a good conversation . i enjoy it as much as i did enjoy a good drink . and as i do not drink anymore conversation will have to take its place . i will leave philosophy for the hindus and for the educated . me i just follow the path and see where it leads . and as water i usually follow the path of least resistance . the hard path i will leave for gandhi or martin luther king or nelson mandela or for those that make up the 1 or 2 percent of humans who do not believe in god .
and god does not care is not my idea . i heard it from kurt vonnegut . some book he wrote that i read in the land where a phone call to god is a local call . INDIA
