COLD WORLD

My friend Damon ;

Please hear this with the loving intent I mean it :

You know I respect you , and your poetry ;

This is another example of why , above ;

You are intelligent , talented , and a soul with great heart and caring ,

and *that* is more than enough for you to have gained my respect ;

Yet I must ask why you blame the world ?

Why not blame some demented , schizophrenic god , ( IMO ) , who

created such a world ?

If we are truly made in some god's image , free will and all , that does

not speak very highly of a god if we and the world are that screwed up ;

Why blame it on some devil , satan , or anyone else , as if a god is truly

said to be omnipotent , why create some supposed entity , if it is only

to throw a glitch into the system ?

To tempt us ?

Would a *good* computer programmer do that , create a program just

to *tempt* us to click on some "bad" button ?

So , ( IMO ) , if anyone , I would not blame a "devil" or anyone else , or humanity ,

or the world , I would forgive some schizophrenic and dysfunctional deity for their

creation of a world ( universe / multiverse ) similar to them , then burdening those

it created with guilt , the idea of sin , and carrying the blame for some screwed up

world , and leaving them with no real answer for this ridiculous situation...

Of course , my friend , this is just some person with an opinion , asking their friend

online if this makes any sense at all , in context with your poem...;)

Best to you , my friend , Damon !

The respect is mutual and I agree with everything you've just stated. I sometimes write things in the concept of understanding by others. Meaning I attempt to make it relatable for others to draw them into my poetry. I'm not one who sits around blaming the so called devil for all the evils in this world. Like you stated, GOD is omnipotent and knows what's going to happen before it happens. Therefore he, she or it allows tragedies to occur everyday. I have the same/similar mindset as you and I'm often asking the same questions that you asked of me. Yet, if we're given free will, then some blame must be put on humanity as well for its actions. GOD and the devil may very well be constructs of our minds. We the people may be both godly and demented but choose which one we allow to frequently surface. There are so many beliefs/theories about this topic. That's why I consider myself more agnostic than anything else. The only ones who know for sure are those entities that aren't here to tell us. One day we all will know. Thank you for your feedback, compliments and thought provoking questions my friend.

Best to you , Damon , and good answers !

I never went to formal college , nor did I

study philosophy , or theology , yet I did

attend the school of hard knocks , and

over many years have had many interesting

conversations with many highly intelligent

individuals from various disciplines...


I agree with you as to individual responsibility

for our actions and interactions with others , up to

the point where I ask myself , if this is a program ,

and we are within that program , as subset programs ,

then if we are created as flawed programs , how *can*

we make wise and correct decisions , unless by chance ,

or roll of the cosmic dice ?

I just know what works for me , and choose to live that

way , and if I do not understand something in the program

to question until I do understand...;)

It is "sad" , and to me poorly designed , to see what we as

humans do , with and to each other and the world around

us ; and I am glad , there are those who speak out , and rise

up against injustices we seem to perpetuate in cycles...

Personally , I think well over 90% of the world population is

"crazy" , in one way or another , yet that is but a matter of

perception , due to my programming and imprinting of my

human bio - computer...;)

Keep on speaking your truth , my friend...I believe you , ( IMO )

are one of those souls who can , and will make a difference in

this life , for the betterment of all !

i liked reading this ... it made me think .. firstly i do not feel there is any '' god '' keeping watch of our actions and behaviours , for me thats just not even possible, i guess im not really that much of a believer in a '' god '' as such . but yes it would be right and correct for the good people to go to heaven if there is even a heaven .

interesting how you spoke of a '' cold world '' can i change that to '' cold people '' lol, surely ts the people that are the problem here, not the '' world '' so to speak . the beauty is in the places, the sky , nature, animals , trees, sunsets, flowers.. there is so much beauty in this world but people are the problem. laco of empathy , greed, hate, spite, selfishness, lack of feeling .. if only more people were kind !

Thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, the people are the ones who're cold but they encompass the world. As far as the GOD/devil, heaven/hell part, none of us will ever really know until we perish.

i see your point :-) yes, i just do not think there is anything wrong with the world , imagine if the bad people did not exist then there would be '' nothing wrong'' in this world, the people are the problem and alway will be

you are welcome
