The God and the Devil
The age old
convictions designate God as the creator of earth and of the life on earth. We
believe that during the descent of god even the devil had put its feet on earth
so as to counteract the good and the right way. According to Christianity, God
surely did not create the devil but he did give the options to Adam Eve to
choose their own path or follow the path of their creator. This was the time
when devil showed up and created a deception of what really a human could be
without the chains of restrictions, thus abandoning the very words of god and
in turn creating a conflicting world with rivalries over light, life and
liberty. There’s always a necessity to know what truly the human beings deserve
and why they victimize the devil to be unpleasant and cruel???
To put on with a
layman’s words, god was personified by our forefathers to help build a positive
approach towards life when someone was hurt and the devil was an illusion
created by the people to protect their interests and create an expression of
fear in their minds so as to keep them away from the easy access of treasures,
secrets etc… The world is jam-packed with the conflicting ideologies like
light-dark, right-wrong, good-evil and god-devil, all of them indicating the
same source of origin that’s human beings. It’s true that both good and the bad
retains in one individual as of the god and devil in the same world. The devil,
also indicating the bad side of the society fills the voids created by the new
sense of human beings so as to counteract the force of good.
As we human beings
grow, we start to nurture those habits which are thought or influenced by the
surroundings that we live in. Since both the qualities persist in an
individual, it’s obvious for him to easily switch over to different
personalities depending upon the extent of influence he has undergone with the
good-bad qualities. It’s never late for someone to change his attitude, habits
because all these qualities that we talk about are primarily controlled and regulated
by our soul which has the ability to manipulate the adversities. Its human
nature to commit mistakes and sin, but it’s the nature of devil to allow his
regrets die and influence his cruelty to dominate over his good thoughts. His
consciousness would never accept the reality since it is the contrary of what
the human beings are really valued for – Humanity. The god being benevolent and
the devil being malevolent are always contradictory to each other but has
anyone ever thought what made people think the devil as a bad creature? What if the devil was something else?
It has been the
nature of human beings to criticize everyone for at least those who come in
their way. Religion, politics, society has created a bias between the good and
the bad but what if the bad was a dark side of good? And what if the bad could
be easily handled and corrected? We all worship god in specific places called
temples, we compromise ourselves that there are messengers of god who could
heal our soul out from the devil and we also sacrifice loads of money over
these places simply to purify ourselves. But finally its inside us that we find
the god and the devil, it should be our practice to praise and harm ourselves
for our good and bad. The philosophy completely supports the belief in god and
the devil but it does not quote for the extraordinary activities that deities
take up…
