The Cold

Posted on 03/02/2012 by admin

According to the news two hundred homeless people are now dead in Europe from the cold, frozen to death on various streets along with a few tragic people too poor to heat their homes. More are going to die, thousands are suffering. And all governments can say is this would not happen if they had had money, been rich.

Everything needed to make a heaven on earth is here from clean skies and clear waters to all the necessary elements and human beings have the brains to tame the wild creatures and soften the excesses of nature but instead all we can do is long to be rich. The only thing not given to us was wisdom, that we have to learn because learning shows a willingness to tame the wild beast inside us, but we cannot even do that.

And I realized that imagery is very important to us, and so I can clearly see now for the first time in my life that if there is a god he turned away from this world centuries ago preferring to be hung on a cross to bleed to death than live amongst this crippled intellect called human kind. We could have had it all and instead we poisoned our very souls with a show of ego that has rubbished an entire planet and deserted common kindness.
