To Judge or Not ....?

I am not a proponent of anti God activities – au contraire I try to follow a narrow path.  However, there are so many ideals and thoughts that are being shoved down our throats that I am rather confused about what people are trying to get across.  A couple of months ago I happened to meet someone who does not believe in religious segregation. Hearing the individual chalk out various aspects pertaining to the why’s and why not's I was brought back to reality.  Jesus came to save everyone not just a few.  It is a few of us who follow Him.  But in the bargain, we get blindsided in trying to get our points out there by force feeding many to convert to our belief.  Christianity is love and force feeding is not the idea.  If we love God and follow His Commandments then we are on the right track.  However, prejudice across various hues is not right.

So back to the enlightened person I met.  He is of the opinion that we live in one world and we need to endorse this so that equal privileges are allotted to everyone. But who can follow this road?  I happened to watch a program on telly a couple of days ago and saw a ‘devout’ person sitting on the dais incorporating mass hypnotism.  It was really amusing watching people move about like they were puppets!  I guess we are like lost sheep and when we notice someone wielding a wand we believe that we are reformed and follow the leader with blind faith.  

Sometime back there was a well known preacher who visited our city.  I was advised by practically everyone I knew against this as they considered the individual to be a fraud.  Now there is a part of me that hasn’t got rid of the rebellious streak and it tends to get out when I am told “not to do” something.  So instead of following the many who claimed fraud, I decided to go there and attend the worship gathering.  I must say I was pleasantly surprised and felt nice after attending the meet.  No doubt the helicopter drop on the pulpit made a great entrance and got the crowd clapping… but all in all, it was a nice show.  Yeah I call it a show because that is what it seemed like.  However, to give the man his due, the meeting was peaceful and the audience calm and prayerful. 

With many people opting for same sex unions, we the straight ones take it upon ourselves in denying these individuals a right to live.  But who gave us the right to judge anyway?  By condemning people because they do not fit in doesn’t constitute that they are going down.  What makes us - the ‘righteous’ many think that we are going to heaven anyways?  Only God knows that.  If this post strikes you that I am endorsing this form of life, heck no, far from it. 

So I guess what we are trying to seek here is the way to God - the staircase that leads us to heaven.  Along the way, we make mistakes. While all of us slip along the way, how can we sit in judgment about another human being and ostracize them because of xyz.  Live and let live.  Accept and we will be accepted.  Judge and you will be judged.   Look before you leap, think before you speak… try and try until we achieve a spotless glow. 

What do you think me darlings? To accept or not to accept that is the question isn’t it?

XoXo

It Is Election Time - No Chance of Watching A Rerun For Sure

Just another day in the life of an average person who wants to watch a rerun of Friends but has to make do while flipping from NDTV, Tiranga, India Today, Times Now, Mirror Now, and the rest. I live in hope that I can watch my reruns again! Will have to wait for the 23rd! Okay, I get it, watching television is not everyone’s cuppa today, though many of us mere mortals still turn on the television to watch a program or the other, especially the news, at this point of time, with elections going full gusto. In my life, while I would love to watch reruns of old comedies, Mum watches the news. When I asked her the other day, why not watch WWF instead - I explained that it is way cooler than the mudslinging, she looked at me as if I had lost my mind. What can I say, Mother I replied. My thoughts were, aren’t we slowly losing the plot while getting drawn into debates? I avoided saying anything more, or I would have been drawn into a debate! We are gripped into this frenzy based on rhe

Will We Change?

The tears, sorrow and pain on His face we ignore Pretense with - that’s a picture, are you so sure? Nonchalance is the stand that we take When will we change and stop this act of fake? He was born to a simple innocent virgin called Mary And His foster father Joseph a poor carpenter Something that we could never ever do It is so difficult because we so love this zoo! At the chosen time when he gathered His disciples together to join Him By His example they embraced His commandment When questioned about this by the learned many He simply replied 'love one another' is the best of plenty. Joining the people, scholars and clergy at a general place He taught them simple parables many did not embrace The idea was to get Him out of the way To pave a road to riches and make their day. They plotted and planned and chose the easiest betrayer Who kissed Jesus his Master, The Savior Thirty pieces of silver was their solution The end result a conscience - a rope so in

Remote Rehab Watchers

What really annoys the sibling, are the soaps and serials I’m hooked onto. She’s like ‘why can’t you watch something informative instead of the usual jazz’ that I (supposedly) watch. What can I say - I’m a couch potato and love the title. She waits for a while and once she notices I am away from the remote she pounces and grabs it. I was too slow for that one! I hate this situation. Makes me feel so helpless, but I have to stay put otherwise you know the drill. She’ll fight and I will retort and cold shoulder treatment for a while. The poor sucker (the remote here) will have to face the wrath. I placate myself with the ‘anyway we have another television’ so I rush towards it and see the remote in the hands of the other sibling. I never win! But I have a new idea I will hide the remotes so that they don’t put me in this situation ever again. I wait for a suitable opportunity and hide them only feel two pairs of eyes watching me (like hawks). Why people are so sexist with the

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.
