Hello everyone.
I've been pondering on something lately.
Why are we here?
Why are we living on this planet?
Why do we feature in existence?
There are no simple answers to the questions about purpose. This life itself is something we itdon't fully understand. But then, these are serious questions that help us figure out how to live decent, meaningful and productive lives.
The fact remains that life ain't easy. We face a lot of challenges while still trying to figure out a way to live fulfilling lives.
In the process we make decisions and face their consequences.
All my life I have lived with people – relatives and non-relatives. In my experience, I can tell that about 99% of all the problems we face are caused by us. The remaining 1% is just circumstance beyond our control. 🤷
The universe is a complex system of relationships, and Man is the center of the universe. Everything seems to exist because of us — including God. And one basic principle governs our relationships — cause and effect.
Humans are fundamentally flawed. Laden with the “knowledge of good and evil”, humanity is a bundle of conflicting, and problematic extremes.
Extremes that manifest as selfishness, envy, malice, greed, covetousness, intolerance, ingratitude, manipulation, oppression, victimization, hate, and murderous tendencies toward one another.
Life would have been better off if there were no humans. Nay, there would have been no life.
Family, religious and educational upbringing were meant to shape our minds and direct our hearts towards better ways of living with one another. But the structures and systems of the home, religion and education are systematically infiltrated by moral instability.
Throughout history humans have proven to be the greatest threat to life on Earth. Through pompous ambitions and desire to play God.
When I first saw the Artemis II photographs of the Earth released by NASA — a beautiful blue ball hanging alone in the dark vastness of space — two questions came to my mind:
“What do humans really think they are?”
“What are we really doing on Earth?
Because none of it is showing from space.🙄
Or is it showing? 🤣
It doesn't even look like over 8 billion people are living here. 🤣
Just a blue ball revolving and rotating in space. Probably the way it has been right from the beginning.
But here we are causing problems everywhere.
I-better-pass-my-neighbor mentality that is not showing from space. 🤣
Even all the Principalities and Power, dem no show. 🤣
And here, some people are thinking the world belongs to them and their kind alone. Other people have no right of occupancy. If they do, their survival would depend on who shows them mercy.
Vain show of madness with no eternal bearing. Just strongmanism with expiry date.
Alicia Keys sang, “We are here for all of us.” And I can't agree less.
No one should be allowed to run rogue around the world in the name of racial, religious, economic or military supremacy at the expense of other people's right to life, dignity and freedom.
Everybody has a right to live and a duty to let live for everybody to live.
What we truly seek is a world where we can live in peace, good health, shared values, moments of happiness and solidarity, and a deep sense of fulfilment in our work and relationships.
The Earth has been here for billions of years. No hurry. No pressure. No tension. Just a beautiful blue ball revolving and rotating in space.
Even God is not in a hurry. If God wanted to dissolve this planet that could have happened a long time ago. But Baba is not in a hurry. We are the ones in a haste.
Where are we racing to exactly?
You may not fully know your purpose on this planet. But you must decide for yourself or the world will decide for you.
What do you want to be remembered for?
Because the Earth has a memory, and a reward system.
