The other day I was watching this movie " Gods Must be Crazy" and inspite of the movie being so funny , I cant help thinking about the whole story. The story talks about bushmen in deep desert of Kalahari and one day somebody dropped an empty bottle of coke from a small plane and it dropped where these bushmen were living. For them it fell from the sky and thus it was a god's gift and thus they started using it , and they put them to so many uses as the bottle was hard .They created music, used to design snake skin , smash foods etc etc.But slowly this one bottle created differences and finally they started fighting over it, and so one of the bushmen father decided this was enough and he started on a trip to the end of earth to throw that 'evil' thing away which has taken away their happiness. And thus the story unfolds like that , with the bushman finally managing to throw that away ( from a cliff which he felt was end earth as there was no more land to go for).If you haven't seen it , I strongly recommend , you try to see this movie.
But the movie did strike a very strange thought in my mind...with all the things that god has given us and all the things which we have created for our own well being and convenience , we have actually forgotten what god has actually given to us. We pray to god about money , houses , wealth , riches , etc etc...but if you can give a more deeper thought , none of these things god has created , so arguably I am sure he has no stock of these things and thus we never have our prayer's answered and all these results in unhappiness. The bushmen were happy with whatever little they had , even drinking water from the dew drops and they were so happy in their small world...more we expect things to happen and more we create things for our own convenience , we do not realize but we march towards more unhappiness in the event of creating one. Having said that , I am surprised , why God let create all these things , he could have bring down calamity before humans thought of creating wealth , money and all other machinery for its convenience.He must be crazy to let his own creation destroy his resources...or shall there be end..be it may be even @ 2012...
One of my friend Anil (I am taking name, i guess he wdnt mind) mentioned a very similar but again a very valid question. How does God handles all the prayers or rather how does he actually distinguish between , which needs to be answered and which not, does he have kind of email system like we saw in the movie " Almighty"..could be , again how does he track performance criteria of all his creations..is there a score card, I suppose there is a score card..man!!! He must be crazy to create so many things and try to manage it , or has he left managing it , frustrated by the current trends and so many modifications , he has left all to the destiny..but isn't he who creates the destiny , if he is creating destiny then why he is allowing so much of violence , guilt , sin to happen every second..or has it really gone beyond his managing capability and soon all will end..just like that!!!
Just imagine , if a small empty bottle of coke can bring the whole tribe to fight against each other..there is no doubt with so many things Man has created for himself , they will fight till eternity and it can never stop. I am sure God is damn crazy to allow such thing to happen and still allowing or may be he has given up and he is sitting in a nice cozy place and having fun seeing us humans fight for each and every little thing..
Can it be ever possible we go back to those era where we can survive on only the natural resources ...like the ones still there in these deep deserts, jungles , and the himalayas, and have no shame to say 'we dont wear clothes as we dont need them' , 'we eat what reaps in trees, and we hunt whatever can be hunted, we survive on whatever God has given us'..i doubt , even I cant imagine living without all the luxuries in life......lets go and watch the world cup soccer in television...yeah!!!!!
