If Your God Asked You This Question, How Would You Answer?

 

Let's get weird.

Imagine if your individual "God" or Prophet stood before you tonight & asked, 

‘What have you done with this most precious gift?’

Or in other words, what have you done thus far with this gift of life?


I thought this was interesting because we often tell people what they wanna hear even if and when we resist doing it.

But if the One Infinite Creator, who knows not wealth or poverty, material things or pomp were to ask you what you've done thus far with the life they gave you, what would you say?

It is here that it becomes oh so clear what and why we're here.  The Bible said "do unto others" and Ra of the Law of One said, live a life "in service to others".

It's all the same and I think most of us will answer this question with all the ways that they helped others while alive.

When I used to be made to go to the Confessional once a month or however often it was, I usually made shit up because hey, I really wasn't a bad kid.  I'd say I'm sorry for lying, swearing, and bugging my sisters.  In other words, borrrrrrrring.

If this question is a definite one I will be asked, it almost makes me wanna get busy so I don't have to grasp at straws answering this ultimate question of questions.

I desire to help more people and I know I can.  I'd like to make the list soooooooo long that we'll need extended time.

Thoughts welcome!

Today I Rest --Will Take Up the Fight Again Tomorrow

 

It's easier to be selfish, to not care about others.  They've made it so.  As I sit with the anger settled in my chest, I realize that the system is rigged to infuriate, frustrate, and finally knock those down who only want to serve/help others.

Once again, I've tried to discuss the empty subsidized units with those on platforms of influence.

I stopped into my Mayor's campaign HQ on Thursday yet have received zero calls.  He doesn't wanna talk about housing anymore.

I think the homeless is now a demographic that will always be so they wonder, 'why try to change it?'

Two weeks ago I discussed housing with one of my 6 councillor hopefuls who argued that "a home" isn't a human right but "a shelter" is.

What, we're now horses & cattle?  

Livestock deserve shelter;  humans deserve homes.

So I sit here on the precipice of diving into the abyss of selfishness.

This fight is bigger than me.

In campaigning for my chosen councillor, I told people that he was going to try to "fix" housing.  You should hear the chuckles.  Even my buddy that's home-challenged and lived here his whole 70+ years tells me that Housing has always been corrupt.

To feel better, all I have to do is NOT CARE ABOUT OTHERS.

Such is the world; such have we made it?

In the words of Holden of Catcher in the Rye, the world is full of God damned phonies.  

Mayor Paterson says he's a Christian but I think he's a phony.

The Churches say they wanna help the homeless but they're phonies.

The Pastors, the MP's, the Mayor, the councillors .... all phonies as far as I can see.

So I might set my cares aside for a day.  I might concentrate on myself and my garden, my plants, my hunbun, my future ... just for the day.

And then take up the fight again tomorrow.

Love & light to all.

We got this, but we're gonna be mighty pissed off in the end.
