An Interesting Situation !

If God exists, am sure that he/she(He from now on for simplicity) is having a hell of a time sitting in heaven seeing the chaos and confusion in His creation. This world could be his playtime, and we could be puppets in His hands. But interestingly I feel, he would have to have uncountable hands to puppeteer the world. If He is in control, if He is fate and destiny, then what does that make us? An entertainment factor for His amusement.
Amusement is the only 'emotion' He'd feel by having a look around. If He can feel that is!!! I sometimes wonder what characteristic a supreme being would have? In the language barrier that surrounds me, I would have to say that we haven't thought of His characteristics. Just acceptance of His existence is what we believe. And ironically does He even care about what we believe?
Why does everyone expect Him to be fair? Why should He? And if He has to be what we expect Him to be as, wouldn't the circularity of His puppeteering and our expectations create an interesting situation? Think about it!!!
The way I would look at someone who is all powerful, will be someone who keeps himself at a distance, does not interfere in the going ons of the world. Just watches and has a jolly good time. Why would He want to interfere? Why would he want to care? If He loves us, then it gives him a bigger reason to not care, cause he can't be partial or unfair (supposed characteristic).
Then why do we pray? If we believe God to be fair, then the question of fulfilling any desire based on praying is absurd. Then this constant scenario of praying does seem to be a self created illusion. And the reasons for praying are even more absurd. Prayers for humanity and mankind must definitely make Him feel foolish as to not understand what the homo sapiens best interests are. If we believe Him to be all powerful then how can you not expect him to understand what is the best thing to do? Why is this process of praying involved?
No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to fit the Ultimate Spirit into my scheme of life. His existence is of no primary importance because it won't affect my process of living!

Life : One Moment at A Time!

In the current context of life around, there is no present, only the recent
past and the immediate future.
The mind lives in tomorrows whereas life is possible only in the present.
Lagging behind or rushing ahead is the problem. Live the moment, as it
is and as you are.
We can never have two moments in our hands, only one single moment.
The choice is ours , to live it or think. Subsequently, life reduces
to small moments that 'take our breath away'. The moments are not
special. Its our choice of living those moments that make them
special.
Life is an artistic journey through time. a symphony, a painting, a
poetic treat ... a free flowing dance piece.Every moment is a
different musical note, a different brush stroke, a different verse and
a different step.A miss of any of these creates disturbance in the
respective art. Same is with the journey of life. Each moment is to be
lived to make life a beautiful master piece.
Life is not a 'to-do' list.Its a celebration of existence.This does
not mean stopping and pushing work aside.Work should be a part
of that existence, very much like singing and dancing.Work is not a
burden on our existence.Flowers bloom, birds chirp and rivers flow.
It is not a burden they carry.It is a part of their celebration of
existence.
"Life is a celebration, a festivity. It is really a great feast, a
blissful festivity. It is not a homework, not a task that has to be
performed. Every moment is a celebration!"
