A book gets written, rules are built, dogma is made, all for the name to bring people together. But do any of them bind man to the faith?
How did it come to be?
As tedious rules can be to read or follow, they were created in the name of holding people together. So the faith in people will never budge facing the strongest storm in the world. As life goes on, we do face quite a lot of trouble in our lives, each one seems to be stronger than the last, it can be easy for anyone to break in this situation. And some unfortunately do break under pressure, and some meander around to find purpose in their lives once again.
The idea of hope to see or I should say expecting is quite phenomenal. A human that is beaten down to its last bone, but he still found courage to stand up and believe once again. It is something amazing to see in real life. And some people will be blessed to encounter these miracles. The twisted game of fate works both ways, while it opens the doors to many who are looking forward to getting their way out of life.
While most seek the quickest path to freedom, and they are happy to pay any price to the toll gatherer. The toll is not about the money, it has always been about the weight of your soul. The question asks how far are you willing to go to achieve something that you perceive as success?
There was a rare time, I saw the question being asked to the follower of a certain faith. The answer he chose, none the wiser but different than I had expected from him.
What happens?
Followers of any cause tend to differentiate from their core beliefs to stand out among their peers. A sense of superiority always follows after the creation of equality of any kind or form. Man and woman they both fall into the same pit of ambition, that ambition is about to be different from the rest. Even if they preach to the choir every day, their eyes and action behaves differently. Anyone can read a book that spoketh the word of god, but it is the action that judges a person's ideals, values.
But human beings are built the same, for some weird reason, they all have the same amount of sins as others, but some do pretend to have none of it. It is down right impossible for a human being to have no sins or immoral values. Since we both step on the land of snake and feather, that's who we are in life. Every human being is rotten in a way, you might not observe it, but they are. It is impossible to act perfect, since the word can only be applied to a person, if he is a character in a fiction.
Only imaginary people are allowed to be perfect, since they are nothing but the idea of the people. The extremes of one kind tend to be perfect, and the other would be evil. This idea of perfection and evil created the world of religious teachings. The words seem to be much more focused towards the visualization of characters and places than the message. Even if the message is being spread in the hall of holy, the message bearers do cast a shadow with their words.
Even amongst the devotees, I can see the cracks in the rose tinted walls. The glass wall that has the picture of the prophet is made of different shapes, colors, and perceptive. They are all standing on the same stage, holding the same old book, yet I see a massive difference in their tone and eyes. They seem to be hungry, growing a strong appetite for something more.
I can see some of them starting to resent the idea of being in part of equality with others. As they can't even grasp the idea of how they are being added with others that they deem unworthy.
Where does it take them?
The objective of the group gets casted outside, as the equality brings nothing but the feeling of ubiquity inside the heart that seeks nothing but eyes. They want the eyes to be in them, all the time, even a slight thought of eyes blinking causes them paranoia.
Human beings are more or less the same creature, woven from the same thread as others. We all share the same appearance, but we all act differently to stand out, but eventually most of the people will meet the same fate. The messages left by the people who came before us imagined a world of purity. The idea itself deserves to be noted, but the concept is flawed. As human beings are the perfect and imperfect creatures.
The pursuit of being different leads many people to adopt a deeper narrative (fabricated) of the dogma. People deep inside know the skewed variation of the dogma is a lie, but the idea of attention by believing in a lie and spreading it makes more sense.
On surface, the followers will live their life alongside the messages left on the pages of their religion. We know war always follows after a momentary peace. Over time, some of them will try to lean on to the more deeper side of the religion.
A heart that once sought the world of equality will easily give hand to the loudest voice in the room, in the name of being different. Here a new person is born as he rips the flesh that once believed in the truth.
The idea of being a perfect child is not something new, a child does everything it can to grab the attention of adult. Same reasoning is also alive in adults, it is one of the prevalent facet of religion followers. The idea of pleasing the god as much as possible, leads people to create their own twisted version of the dogma, where a fascinating game of reward and punishment follows.
Reward gets granted for the people who follow the skewed version of the story and seep the rules to every part of their life. A simple mistake gets frowned upon, as they live their life to be perfect. They live their life as if a sculpture is watching them all the time to create the art of perfection.
To a point, where people will have to insert the fundamentals of religion into nearly every aspect of living. If a person fails to implement religion into all aspects of their lives, they will not earn the right to be part of the special group.
The last thing any human wants to feel is being neglected from the people they admire the most in the world. So, they would see the mirror and act on what they see in the mirror.
This tells you how people act under one eye. Even if a book is written to bring people together, people will always try to go outside of it, to be different. Different not in the name of bringing people together, nope a dystopian version of different, where more emphasis is paid to power and punishment.
Failure to believe in the twisted version of the religion always ends in punishment. People will always be different even if they read the same words as you.
