Now that I’ve managed to get a hit out on my name with the above title, let me explain what I am talking about. Hopefully I’ve got enough time to at least explain the statement to myself before I am hung drawn and quartered.
The idea of a God or Higher Power is a comforting and scary one all at the same time. Now before I continue I am not stating whether I do or do not believe. I am merely thinking out loud irrespective of my personal beliefs. As the whole idea is based on belief it has always been open to questions. Irrespective of whether you’re a raving lunatic believer or a raving lunatic non believer you will either take or not take responsibility for your own life. Then there is the question of destiny who writes it, is it based on fate, do we have free will. There are all these different branches of thought that come back to the following question.
Whether there is or isn’t a God, why do we as people still want to be God?
We spend every waking hour trying to shape, fix, make, change or influence everything around us. You can be a believer or not yet manage to blame everything and everyone around you, including God, for your life. Before embarking on anything in your life we hear a voice that tells us not to do it or to do it, however we let worldly influences i.e. parents, friends and spouses influence what we choose to do. There are certain things in life that I and everyone around me thought I would never do. I had seen the results on everybody around me. Guess what I did them and realised I was right in the first place. I was the God of my own destiny but I let my life take a different route to what I had originally planned. It was all well scripted then I decided to improvise. God must be totally alone as that must be the only way we can actually do exactly what we wish, without having to consider the other people involved.
We listen to fellow workers, spouses, bosses, political leaders so called religious leaders and even idiots tell us what is going to happen. How many times have listened to the person above you in some shape or form and you know they don’t have an ounce of your intelligence or charisma. Yes I hear you, far too many times. Some of you go through this every day. Does this mean you are more intelligent and charismatic or simply upset as it’s out of your control to change anything but God knows if you had the chance you could solve all the world’s problems?
That is exactly my point; we could all make the world a better place if everybody just listened to us, if you all just listened to me. We have no real reason to believe this apart from our ego, and our ego makes us wanna be God, without even realising. The moment we start tearing our hair out and thinking... Oh God if only I could just... what u really mean is, “I am God and could solve it all, but you are too stupid to let me take control.”
I do it every day; you all do it every day. However I have learnt that instead of changing the world by being a God to everyone else, I will simply live as I please making changes in myself that I want to see in the world.
