I once believed in god...quite diligently that too.I believed he was there just out of reach but always close by like a father teaching their child to ride a bicycle,letting go but lways making sure that he was there to catch us if we were to fall.But life threw up many surprises most of them unpleasant some seeming so merely through the eyes of a 'troubled' teenager and some tangible pain whose effects stayed long after its cause.And slowly i found my faith ebbing away not quite gone but from strong belief becoming a faith of mere convenience which is the norm of the adult world as it seems.I would still atleast blink at the idols if not join hands,before i leave for an exam and before the results...forgetting all self restraint pray ferverishly and shamelessly to the same god who is forsaken for the rest of the year!Still,when the shadow of ill and misfortune falls upon us or our loved ones we betray a pleading look towards the skies.But is someone really there?Has there ever been?
Such are the times that on one hand more and more people are losing their belief in god and on the other hand more and more people are embracing it.those who lose their belief do so for they think that if there truly was a god he wouldnt let all the bad things that are happening to happen.While the other group seeks solace in the belief that perhaps there is a greater purpose a greater plan.I for one am a self professed pessimist and i believe-this is the plan.Everything in this world made complete sense before Man came to this world to create havoc..dinosaurs were also too hard to control they wre too big..too ambitious..and they met their doom.One man Caesar had to fall too his only crime being that of ambition..it is only natural that mankind too should follow suit.
The world is in a self destruct mode now and the countdown has begun.Nature is forsaking the human kind..humanity is forsaking the human kind..so is it wrong to suppose that maybe god is forsaking the human kind?So what do u think?Does He exist?Does He have 'a plan'?Do You believe?People who know me must wonder why this sudden wonder about divine...then again people who know me know what strange and sudden things so often cloud my mind..
