It doesn't matter if people are interested. It's about you taking your stuff and shouting out into the void.

A Lesson In Math

January 11, 2012

 

Pondering on my last post, I can’t help myself thinking that probably most of my readers are taking me for a priestly man-servant of God or, worst, a frustrated born-again sectarian guru!  But honest, I’m neither both!  But if only my parents had afforded it, I truly wanted to be a priest!  It’s because simply of my unusual unfortunate fate I suffered in the early stages of my life, which I’ve already discussed in my past blogs.  It’s just that life has some strange ways putting things up and no matter how arduous or enthusiastic you are into achieving a certain goal or dream, you’re eventually only pivoted or shifted into some kind of condition or situation you don’t know if it fits you at all!  Perhaps for me, this is what God has designated.  And surely HE must have some purpose for it, aside from my now very own purposes, of course.  But have you ever really wondered why God allowed such misfortunes befalling individuals without their common consent and instead only placing them in utter discontent and desolation?  Many a great man could have remained great and even getting greater as time passes if only they have added some touch of humility in their lives. 

 

That must have been the main reason why God allowed such misfortunes to happen to humans!  Perhaps these people, even the still would be, have aggravatingly acted on their own accord totally forgetting their solemn relations to God and instead only instigated their own earthly wishes and whims with impunity! The Bible says, “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed”, Prov. 16:3. So anything you do or we do without the sanction of God is literally hopeless!  But perhaps this is undoubtedly true to matured and full grown humans who must have full rationality about the things they’re doing.  So although some of them maybe thinking they’re doing the right thing, but ultimately the possible outcome or results and effects of such a thing or deed they’re doing would not benefit anyone except themselves, so to their dismay and amazement it flopped down to nothing.  And they’re wondering why and unaware it was God who blocked the whole thing.   But for the young who haven’t even the slight insinuation of sin or to commit sin, how come some misfortunes also befall them?  Here, probably it’s because God knows in the long run, or when these youngsters matured, HE knows these too would do things not designed for them to do, so at the very early stages of their lives they were given due reprimanding or warnings to hinder or stopped them once and for all into achieving or getting those unworthy plans or deeds into fruition.  But again how come sometimes some others like those criminals and perennial law breakers already on their prime and fully grown shenanigans, do away with their crimes and even was thriving at some extent?  There, simply God has some purpose for it, literally hidden and unknown or even we haven’t a way to understand at the moment.  But take a closer look at it, in the end you will know they ended up also to nothing and some of them even died a horrible death as if giving them a real dose of their own medicine.  So in a way God is giving us some kind of a lesson to learn and ultimately teach us that any wrong deed or actuation does not pay.  So in all our dealings, big or small, it won’t hurt us if we always try to do it the right way.  No matter if you look so stupid in trying to make it good!  But the ultimate essence about all these is, speak always the truth and do things always with the best intentions.  When these things get in the habit it becomes a code rightfully anyone can happily live by.  

 

So for me I haven’t a tint or slight discontentment why God let me suffered the fate I’ve been thru, because it’s probably just His strange ways to thwart and curb the unworthy plans I may have  in life and now make me fully understand instead the mathematics of life.  “It is not a matter of multiplication of wealth but the division of task; subtraction of greed and addition of humility”, a simple way to lead or live a happy simple life. Kudos to the man/woman whoever he/she is, who concocted this phrase it serves a great deal and means a lot more than words could express. 

 

I don’t really know the man/woman because this phrase was just text to me by a friend lately and it gives too much meaning that inspired me to highlight in my blog.  And quite sadly the sender doesn’t know who wrote it, too!  I would surely appreciate if you could tell me who he/she is to be given due credence and recognition in this blog.  Thanks a lot!
