Idle Talks


Dear Shiv…

Imagine for a while that God (whether or not in our image) has this habit of hitting those humongous balls of gas and fire that we call stars, against each other. Don’t ask me why, whether it is a job or pursuit – just picture that God does it. God has created this universe, and probably several others, and this is what he does for a living – blowing spaces, suspending them with particles and hitting them against each other. Even if it is for the fun of it. This grand activity would sure have loads of characters, and outcomes. New minerals, metals, gas, gravity, supernova, black holes, galaxies, solar systems etc. suspended throughout the universe, billions of years old, covering large areas. Upfront, pretty drab and uninteresting hobby/habit/job for someone as great as God – no glitz, no glamour or gossip, but hey, that’s the way he likes it.

We mortals however, are presented with unnecessary complications because of this. Guess what Mr Stephen Hawkins just told us? He has said that life is probably an accident in this universe. If that is true, then this would also be true that we don’t feature at all in the grand design of things. Out of those bumping stars, chip goes a fragment, sails somewhere, cools off; and has ideal constituents for breeding life. Would anyone even notice!? Guess not – at least immediately.

Ok, so we probably are not desired – life was an accident. Few thousand years hence, a blink-and-miss period according to cosmic standards, and the way things stand here, with or without a Barack Obama wearing his silk tie talking about humanity and peace, we have pretty much chewed up our planet. This earth is nearly ripping from its seams.

Complication is – corroborating to the above two criteria, what does that make us? A) Accidental beings, not intended in the plan of things, coming into existence and B) Within a short time plaguing the host to near-death?

Virus? Or Bacteria? Or would you like to call a friend?

Well said, I think A and then B both apply..we truly are destroying this planet and it's environment with our self importance and self destructive species..event a tiger who we categorize as a fierce predator only kills what it needs..we on the other hand will kill n steal just for the hec of it and if we can steal from another country / people, bloody hell, even better..I thing we all need to stop and think once in awhile...where is this all going..but then we have stopped thinking as well and just go along with what others say..we are just a couple of steps away from becoming an intel chip..and at the rate we are going won't be surprised if they take over us and become smarter..
