Does It Matter ?

 

I propose that it should and does! 

 Some of you may have heard of the expression: " God-shaped void " So though I am not a philosopher nor a theologian  nor a physicist in the professional sense....

Here are  my thoughts. 

What is a God shaped void?  Since we all experience lack, how do we satisfy that scarcity? Since basic politics is about providing everyone with happiness (in part ) how do we achieve that? So, since we all live on this world, how can we satisfy the wants of us all? Is that even possible? How does someone fill it up without God?

Filling it up with God, how does that work ?  Which begs the question, does God even exist? 

These are Big Questions that many ask.

 

 Eventually everyone asks these questions while they live and move and have their being.

 

Of course,many of you,ask is there even a God ? When many are taught that the Universe " helps." What was  once a fringe belief,now it is in many persons' belief systems in Western cultures. Even existing in traditional Eastern cultures! 

 If an impersonal ( consisting of 'suns' or stars unlike ours ) but apparently infinite universe " helps?"  How do we realistically know or measure that help ? Was it just plain chance " dressed "  like that lucky break movies portray  or the universal " help " one rarely but we may encounter ?

Where did the universe come from anyway ? What makes a person believe that the " universe " can help ? How does a cosmos filled with galaxies ( trillions of them ) "help " a tiny backwater rock and water planet like our earth?  

Are we alone? Are we being watched ?Are there any alien civilisations, when the SETI project had not detected even a real or intelligent signal amid the  vast noise of the cosmos?

Does it matter? 

In a world where individuals are monumentally, more important, aren't we over-prioritising the  outer space we are surrounded by, to a futile degree? 

 

These are legitimate questions for us all.

Getting from a dismal,bleak existence to a vibrant, whole and purposeful life-journey isn't necessarily easy.

Life on our watery planet can be hard and its hopelessness is evident in  a myriad of ways.

 But if you are wise and determined to break through the harsh reality of dire circumstances oft encountered. You can. But as you move through  your journey, the more you invest in others, the more likely you find your life lifted from your own challenges. 

 

So how are we lifted ? 

 

This comes from a sense of purpose, by reaching out to the strangers and others in need who are our ( divine, as some say )  opportunity to find meaning and hope. Don't delay in investing, seeking and supporting others in the domain you travel daily.

Something like a smile shared to a random act of kindness to a  charitable and mindful event for some in need.

Getting back to my original theme, a

a void is a synonymous expression for the emptiness in the middle of our psyche, mind/ body or soul. If many reckon that most live a desperate life on our tiny planet, how do we transform that into a environment that evolves most or better,lifts, most from a poverty of satisfaction into a meaningful surfeit of a life shared by  billions  enhanced by love, untroubled spaces and prosperity!

 

But 

Isn't this a socialist Utopia or a communist/ capitalist dream? Like isn't this just the Chinese utopia that Xi JingPing appears to be developing? We have heard about or read about other places and times, utopias have been tried.

 

What do you think?

Can we fill a void or emptiness with things?

Yes! We can and do. 

 

It's believed that is-- according to the Bible-- when we were created, that God created a God-shaped emptiness in us!

 

 A void that only He can truly occupy. 

Of course as humans, we fill our internal void with things, like material goods, money, fame, power, position, sex- worship and a host of other like things 

 

But only God will truly satisfy. I believe that. And when God is present in a  knowingly yet realised way, in your life-journey, all fragments of your life catalyses into wholeness.

 

Here is when you can present your alternative view or complete my thoughts with your own? So go on...
