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

In the Bloghouse

Pssssssssst I have a secret that I wanna share with you… I have been diagnosed with an illness called FIMS aka Foot In Mouth Syndrome. I’ve tried many times to get over this, with mind-over-matter techniques, herbal remedies and even self awareness classes online, but to no avail. Trying to soothe a friend who was dumped by some loser dude I listened to her rant and rave about his meanness for some time and then advised her with “forget him, there are many more fish in the sea.” Needless to say that was FIMS playing havoc again which nearly earned me a black eye! All she needed was some hand holding during this period and I advocated the “move on” mantra. Since this has proven time and again to be the bane of my existence, I have decided to do something and get this out of my system ASAP. The first step that I’m going to do is curb my enthusiasm about juicy news that I hear and refrain from spilling the beans to the person being gossiped about! Crappy feeling, but I have to tr...

Can You Chill Out with Your Mom? Can You Add Her To Your Facebook List of Friends?

Whoever said that you couldn’t be friends with your Mom is probably thinking old school mother. I am certainly no teenager, neither am I in my 20’s but getting closer to dotage (uh uh). Over the years, however, I noticed that my Mom was one of the coolest Mom’s in school, college, while I worked, in between relationships and when my marital cord snapped. Let me let on how cool she was and has been through the years. When I had my first crush – she was very disappointed, and rightly so, though at the time I was angry that my secret was out. Here was her youngest with a boyfriend, and in her teens! It was hard for her to digest this since none of the older siblings went down this road. When she found out, all hell broke loose, she screamed at me, stopped me from going out, but she also stood by me. The boyfriend went away as did the friends’ circle. She never left my side, and held me while I sobbed away because he was my one true love (at the time). Ah, the throes of the first dabble...

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.

Doctor Hungry

I have been the route meeting with so many quacks that I am fatigued at the way some doctors/specialists don’t think twice about ripping patients off. Having said that however, I would like to point out that there are so many earnest doctors who go the mile and are an honor to their profession. This post is not about the earnest doctors, but the rip offs. Sometime ago I sought the professional expertise of a renowned specialist who had an entourage to handle her every whim and fancy. I paid to consult her but was tossed aside to meet her intern! Being ill and hazy, I had no say in the matter but this left me extremely annoyed that I had to stiff up a large bill… for what? With irate friends, colleagues and relatives who have been shortchanged by a few quacks, I have penned a couple of lines below… Doctors, physicians, radiologists, new life healers, and others we have met Treat us with disdain and mere guinea pets A pill here, blood transfusion there and scans everywhere Set...

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou...
