Em and the Big Hoom

by Jerry Pinto

How could one create desire and then expect everyone to pull the plug on it? And if God were capricious, then God was imperfect. If God were imperfect, God was not God.

The only change I made was in my recitation of the creed which I boiled down to four words: I believe in Jesus Christ. Because I did. I believed in him and the Buddha and Krishna and Allah because you can believe in anything if you look straight at the message. Love one another? Good idea. Detach yourself? Good idea. Do your duty? Good idea. Submit to the will of God and go with the flow? Good idea. In a perfect world, you could even play with permutations and combinations of the above. Submit to the will of God because he wants you to love everyone and do your duty. Or, alternatively, detach yourself from everyone as an act of duty to God’s will and you will experience perfect and equal love.

Victories evanesce quickly enough. Failure hangs around you like a cloak and everyone is kind and pretends not to see it.
