The Secret We Never Found Out

Man first walked on this earth

A few million years ago.

Then came the lies, deception.

It's astounding to think as a species,

We have an incredible capacity to deceive, not just others but ourselves.

Whereas other species use deception survival and access to food and reproduction,

We on the other hand have assimilated

It is our shadow,

Making it almost second nature.

The question then arises,

Whether we are born with it

Or eventually, learned it?

You see, it's not so easy to answer.

Because

Lots of arguments can be made for

Both sides.

But I'm going to go

With the previous.

Now, if one believes

That there is a creator

Who made us,

Which by the way can easily

Be argued against,

But we must resist the temptation

And instead, ask another question.

By looking at us,

What does it tell about our creator?

Omnipotent , omniscient , all -

Good are the words

We usually associate with our creators.

But we haven't even got a fraction

Of that.

Every now and then we do see

Some actions

Which we deem godly again muddles everything.

Then there are things done by humans

Which are just unspeakable,

In some cases in the name of

So-called " religion ".

Then there's the case of presence.

" Faith is all you need," they say,

To experience god.

If so, then why humans developed rationality?

If God wanted unquestioned obedience then why create the illusion of free will?

If God wants complete devotion,

Then why create temptation?

Now some might say God created us

With good intentions

But

When we came to the world,

We became bad. Like us,

The world is also created by him,

So why did he let evil thrive?

There's another argument that it's all

An illusion.

If it is, and there's only one way out,

Then why create so many conflicting religions

(Assuming he is involved in this process) ? Atleast the end goal and the path

To achieve that goal should be clear

In everyone's mind if they want to follow.

This brings me to the final argument,

If we can't solve these questions,

Then why not ignore them?

As plausible as it sounds,

I'm afraid it's easier said than done. We still have lots of phenomena

Which are beyond our ever-expanding explanations,

So it's not easy to toss it up and go.

We have some satisfactory explanation

For some ...

Sure,

But there are many

Which are unexplained.

So,

Are we destined to be Haunted

By these questions forever?

Or

Is there an answer

But we will never find out?
