Lets assume all you guys believe in God. I dont mean the super natural or a higher power but a God as in a God! You know, the kind Jim Carey was for 1 day in that movie... Yeah you get my drift now! Now that you are a believer, it follows that you also believe that "God" watches over the entire world and manages everything. Everything we know, everything we see, hear and pretty much everything that we dont even care for!
Reality
We know that a lot of things are absolutely broke in the world right? Darfur, University Shootings, Africa famine and Starvation, Crime against Women in India, Amount of Terrorist Organizations, Climate Change , War and Poverty! So we stay in a place where everything is bad and there is no good. True? False? I'll leave the answer to your interpretation but here is what i think.
It is obvious that a lot of things are going well too. For instance, we all grew up or was that supposed to be a given? The world has developed so much that information is accessible at the press of a finger? The world has become smaller, we're all traveling and seeing places we'd only read about. Even Doordarshan is improving. India has changed, we are a developing economy now and developing fast at that. We will host common wealth games soon, we'll have a Nano car even sooner.
I guess someone is doing a darn good job somewhere!
Bottomline(s)
- In the work we all do, there is more good than bad. So give yourself a pat on the back for doing what you are...you deserve it.
- We tend to focus on the bad and take the good as granted.
- If it works for God, it definitely works for us:)

Good post Shaurya, I agree there's more good than bad around us..A story I heard recently when Ajahn Brahm (a famous monk from Australia) in his younger days used to feel ashamed of a brick wall he had made, only because there were 2 bricks out of line..until one day when a visitor told him that all he saw was the 998 'good' bricks. And events like this change your view. Change your life...be good
