Hello Hivians,
This is a result of my artistic struggle on the subject of "infantilization of the divine hand". It's a topic I've been thinking about a lot lately, and still am.
Being a very spiritual person, I never hesitate to talk with other people about the universe, to be or not to be, faith and destiny. Often, I love the ideas, thoughts and concepts that other people think and talk about. Most times, they are a great source of boundless inspiration and dreams.
But especially now in these increasingly hard times, I meet again and again people whose world views consists of nothing but pure pink strawberry clouds. My toenails roll up more and more often, the more often I hear something about God-sent saviors, or some "great devine plans" which would just come true, or light warriors, or love would conquer evil all by itself. All the victims of our time were only be a divine test for all the living.
And I then always think to myself, "how infantile do you think the divine hand is?".
Not hard to guess that I see it a bit differently. I believe that the universe (gods, god, etc) has created us, with all our abilities to adapt to whatever comes. It did not create us so that we then crawl into our virtual strawberry holes. No savior will come unless we save ourselves, no divine plan will work unless we plan it and push it forward. The only test for our souls is how we live life and whether we are responsible for what we do.
