or REGRET
A person has two main aims in
life:
1 - To keep himself safe from
harm.
2 - To achieve something good.
As a matter of necessity "Keeping safe from
harm" takes precedence over "getting something good".
This "keeping safe" from what is harmful and evil
however, would be different for different living beings,
depending on the maturity and complexity of their
creation. Even among the human race which is seen as the
most mature creation on earth the concept of safety and
achievement would be different for different individuals
depending on one's understanding of what is evil and
harmful for him and what he considers as good
Every sensible person recognises that this
life would eventually lead to one of the two
consequences, success (safety from evil, and achieving
the good) or failure; therefore every sensible person
must answer the following questions before deciding his
route to safety and achievement, and must answer them now
lest he dies before tomorrow comes for him.
1. Is there really a Creator?
Have you ever seen a chair, or a table, or
a car being made by itself?
If not, what about a man, does man have any
control over the process of his birth? Have you ever seen
a man who has created himself outside his mother's
womb?
Not even the mother who carries the child
in her womb knows how food and oxygen reaches her child,
neither does she have any control over it, let alone the
control over if the child will be free of defects and
will be born alive.
Then what about the tree which grows from a
seed, shadows which move through a set rule every day,
the day and night following each other and the creation
of the earth, sky, stars, moon and the sun.
Have you ever heard of the sun rising from
the west instead of east? Or a man being able to decide
exactly how long he would live and what date and time he
would like to die.
Indeed the answer to all these questions is
"NO" and any sensible person would recognise that there
is a Creator who has the power and wisdom to create,
organise and sustain not only human beings but the whole
universe.
Even the atheists, communists and
(disbelieving) scientists cannot avoid this reality, but
substitute the term 'Creator', for phrases like 'Mother
Nature' and 'the amazing way nature' etc... Once a man
was asked about the evidence for a Creator's existence,
he responded, "All praise is due to God! The camel's dung
testifies to the existence of the camel, and the track
testifies to the fact that someone was walking. A sky
that holds the giant stars, a land that has fairways and
a sea that has waves, does not all of this testify that
the Most Kind, Most Knowledgeable exists"
2. Are we in need of the
Creator?
Having recognised the existence of a
Creator any person with a bit of common sense would also
recognize how dependant the life, the universe and
everything in the universe is, on it's Creator. Can a
complex and majestic system like the universe and all
that is in it, run without a controller? It is strange
that the one who thinks that good management is so
essential for any small 'project' on earth would doubt
about the necessity of a management in skies and
galaxies, absence of which would surely result in an
unimaginable disaster.
