The Creator’s Perfect World
The Creator looked upon his creation. A world that contained everything needed to sustain life in human form. It was an achievement no human will ever accomplish in a lifetime or a millennium. It had beauty, life, and balance. Surely the humans that were to inhabit such a place would be happy and joyous existing in such surroundings. What else could be so perfect? To sustain life, human’s need very little and the earth has everything required to provide them with long-term sustenance. What the Creator provided was Heaven on Earth. What could possibly be more desired by the inhabitants of such a place?
It was not to be though. The Creator also offered humankind “Free Will” freedom to manipulate the land, utilize the resources, and develop societies based on various human convictions. What the Creator may not have realized in his infinite power and wisdom is he gave humankind the ability to destroy his creation of Heaven on Earth. Why the Creator would have done this has perplexed me over the majority of my life.
A world created for human inhabitation could not have been designed for us to destroy and misuse as we see fit. What do our educational intellects, religious aristocracies, and government bureaucracies have in mind for the long-term development of our home on earth. I’m sure it is not to fulfill the Creator’s wishes and desires, or they would have done so.
In my limited existence on this planet, I’ve yet to see or meet an individual or an institution that fully adheres to the ideals and maintains a lifestyle that their beliefs espouse. What I see are actions based on rationalizations. In order for the reigning aristocracy (whoever they may be) to sustain their existence they must attempt to prove that what they believe is right for all of humankind.
May the Creator of our planet forgive us all for not doing better in making this world a better place and help provide us with the strength and courage to seek out our true purpose in which to become the best we can be as humans regardless of faith or culture.
