What makes today’s
civilization think we know any more than those great civilizations’ of the
past? Fact is we still can’t even figure
out the great accomplishments of the remote past.
The questions we
ask today about where we come from, where we’re headed, how we should live, and
for what reasons should we die are age old questions. It’s quite obvious that
the answers have always been based on the belief of a higher entity regardless
of one’s religious preference or lack thereof.
As I think about
this, I can’t help but remember the elementary school exercise in which the
teacher whispered something in the ear of the first student and the process was
repeated throughout the class until it reached the last student. The lesson was
simply to teach us how the original story changes when passed on from one to
another!
What mankind has
always known is that we are born into this world, and die on this earth. This
is simply because while living on this earth we have all stood witness to these
phenomena’s. It’s ironic that our belief
from the very beginning has always been the MOTHER of our faith in our FATHER.
