Righteousness

Righteousness has it's own path, but the Myopic can't see it. I think it was Gabriel Marquez who asked - god made man as an 'amenable' creature. Then to test dose the concept, put man in a beautiful and romantic garden called Eden. To add salt on a wound, he pointed to an apple and told Adam not to touch it, after instilling curiosity and vanity in man. Then he put Eve in front of Adam and told him not to touch her either, after imbibing him with knowledge of all the sensuous pleasures.
How the hell can you blame Adam or eve?, God was a possessive and erratic player here. But it seems he won, while Adam got the Apple, Eve, and the Curse!!!

Have always wanted to know why we have so much misery, when god can eradicate it. Why did god have to create bad, evil, sinister stuff? What is the logic in having an imbalance while preaching that to live life the right way there has to be a balance? Why do you create tempting things? Imagine doing wrong things in front of children and then asking them to ignore it as it is bad. First you introduce them to everything that is evil and then ask them to abstain from it! For example, if god actually is fair he should see to it that every man who rapes a woman should become pregnant! Don't you think this will deter them from atrocities towards women? This way there is no need for court, police at all. Every non consensual act should be punished similarly. What is the point of saying it is your karma, fate, destiny? When a man hurts a woman, how come she suffers for his wrong karma? What is the justice in that? How can god claim himself to be fair?
