Let me tell you why I say that life is God.
First off, I know the statement might turn some heads or even ruffle some feathers. It's not your everyday phrase, and it's designed that way. You hear it, and you're like, "Did he just say life is God? Wait, does he mean life is good?" But that's the point. It's supposed to get your attention, make you think. It's a little bit jarring, and I like that about it. It sparks curiosity, conversation, maybe even a bit of controversy.
Now, when I say life is God, I mean the incredible array of living things on this planet. You look at the intricate ecosystems, the mind-boggling diversity of plants, animals, even microorganisms, and you've got to wonder, "Isn't this all part of some divine tapestry?" In my eyes, that's God at work. It's like a celestial symphony, where every life form has its part to play.
This idea isn't just for those who believe in a higher power. It's a call to awareness for everyone. Because if we accept that life itself embodies something divine, then it's not just us humans who are sacred. It's every living creature — from the cows and pigs to the lambs and chickens. That opens up an interesting question: How should we treat this divinity that exists in all life?
Are we doing right by these creatures? Are we treating them as manifestations of the divine? Look at factory farming — animals crammed into tiny spaces, living in squalor, often separated from their families. If we believe life is God, then those practices just don't add up. We're dishonoring the divine, treating God like a commodity.
And it's not just about animals. It's about our own behavior, our own habits. If you buy into the idea that life is God, it calls for a kind of introspection. Am I living in a way that respects this divine presence in all life? That could mean a lot of things, from ethical consumption to just being a kinder person.
So, yeah, saying "life is God" might be a bit provocative, but sometimes that's what it takes to make people stop and think. It questions something that should be self-evident and urges you to reconsider your own actions, perhaps even your diet.
Yes, life is good. And God is good.
But let's not forget: Life is God. And we should start acting like we understand what that really means.
