GOD??!

Now, how would you feel if your coach forbids you forever from playing your favorite game, just because you cheated in your last game? Or how would you feel if your parents tell you that they won’t buy you a bike when you are truly in need, since you fell and damaged the cycle that they bought in your childhood? Now that feeling of denial is nothing in its magnitude. Read on....

Before i begin to proceed with my weird thoughts, let me be given a chance to put up my own humble proverb...

“GOD IS NOT ALL THAT GOOD"

Two weeks ago, i had been to the hospital to get my hand treated off some minor bone problem. As i sat there being given the last appointment for that day, i saw a father speaking compassionately to his baby. I think she was being suffocated inside the waiting room and wanted to be taken out. And then, when he turned and headed towards the door, with the baby girl couched in his arms, i could see a scene that i had not witnessed in such proximity till so far. The baby had a huge and deformed head and very small eyes. I do not know what medical syndrome she was a host to, but it really made me cold that day.

I like watching Johnson and Johnson’s baby soap ads. For me, It is surely titillating to see a baby smile and play happily being totally unaware of the world around it. But it hurts back thousand folds to see a baby which is physically or mentally challenged. I still can’t digest the fact that god can punish even innocent babies, if he wills...There is an old adage that everything in life is a fruit of the actions performed in the previous birth. To add to that, it has made its appearance in numerous historic serials that i have watched.

How judicious and lawful is it for god to make humans suffer or enjoy the results of their deeds in previous birth? Why are babies born with disabilities? some blind, some physically challenged and some sayamis? Well ,it might seem insignificant, for we selfish humans as long as we are safe, but when we put ourselves in their shoes, we get a tinge of all their bitter experiences. Not only is it excruciatingly painful to imagine being born blind or physically challenged, but surely demoralizing in its own way. How can such a feeling of injustice by god, inside them, be effaced when they grow up? What does life mean to them?

I am not leading anyone into thinking that we can commit as many sins as possible and demand compulsory forgiveness from god. Let it be a fair game.... coz at the end of every day in life, we already get what we deserve. The judicial system in any country today is strong and merciless anyway. The media is also unforgiving, unveiling the crimes committed by any Tom, Dick or Harry. More so, in the long run, we are surely loaded or burdened by the fruits of our deeds in the same lifetime. Then i question god, why carry it on to the next birth?

Does the wheel of time really turn tables? If so, how often does it do? When does it do? Will the downtrodden and depressed ever live to see a moment of revelry?Or if the entire dogma about previous birth deeds is false and unrealistic, then why is it that some are born in rich families and some born indigent? Why are some people beautiful and some ugly? Or is birth a matter of pure chance?

I need answers.

PS: I strongly implore the readers to make me happy with answers or even suggest how or where to find the answer
