The Difficulties of seeing the World as a Whole and how we all might or might not be part of God
lavender lacrimosa shalott, 18:32h
Hey everyone, again I had a few thoughts I wanted to share with the world.
So recently I was thinking about how I perceive the world. Namely, I never actually think about the things that don't affect me in some kind of way. I think about things that happened to me or people I know or know about, things that will happen to me or them or things that could happen to me or them now or in the future. But I never actually think about the things I don't know about.
For example, in exactly this moment, there are women getting raped, children getting killed, criminals getting imprisoned and dolphins are happily jumping around in the ocean. But as we have no certain image in our head of this happening right now or in the future and as we don't know if it will ever affect us, we probably don't think about it, or at least don't do it often.
My next step was to try to imagine the world as a whole, with all those people, animals, etc on it, all of them minding their business and doing their things. But this didn't work, it's probably just not possible for the human brain to imagine the whole worlds population with all the aspects of their characters all at once. So I thought, if God exists, how does he do that? How is he able to actually look after every single one of us, always knowing what we're doing, thinking and being able to still look after everyone else while trying to help somebody?
Well, maybe he doesn't. Maybe, we are all just part of him and he knows that we exist, but doesnt actually know every single one of us, like we know about the cells our body is made of, but don't actually have a clue about what is actually going on with them, except for when theres something going extremely wrong, like cancer. That could be the reason for so many prayers not being answered and for this world being such a bad place. He doesn't know about everything going on on earth, but for example when Hitler was busy leading wars and killing innocent people, God may have made the right people do the right things to end this horrible episode of our worlds history. In the end a lot of people died, but nazi-germany was beaten, just like when a human being has cancer and you manage to heal it and defeat the cancer, the body still got highly damaged.
Some people say this world is a miserable place and therefore God, if he exists, is a bad person. But I don't actually think so. He just wants us to solve our problems on our own, because he just can't help everyone, we are just way to many people in the world. But if something is going extremely wrong, if the whole world and humanity is in danger, then he will help. Maybe we won't notice, but he will at least try to do so. If he exists, which we can't know.
I hope you enjoyed reading whats going on in my mind again and as always I'm curious to know, what's your opinion on this.
Have a nice day <3
