We, As Human Beings

We as human beings are very naïve and honest and life treats us to exemplify our traits and character to the best of our abilities and objectives. All of us have diligently looked into our past, learned from our mistakes and at least tried to glorify our future or work towards the betterment of the rest of our lives.

We as human beings make mistakes and ought to make it. Reason?
‘Coz we work with our brains & hearts
‘Coz we are sensitive, social & skillful
‘Coz we are credulous, natural, innocent, sharp, dexterous and…
‘Coz we are “Human Beings” and not GODS
"As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves." (Mahatma Gandhi)

We as human beings have desire, passion & are pernicious,
We as human beings have attributes, reputation and moral excellence,
We as human beings have a Dr. Jeckyll & Mr. Hyde within ourselves,
But, we as human beings must appreciate that…
“Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed”

We as human beings…We as people…We as mankind & We as the refined form of the nomadics must and I repeat MUST believe in what Robert Frost mentioned many many years back…
The woods are lovely dark and deep
But, I have promises to keep.
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep.

Very profound and deep man.
But I take issue at the statement that 'Humans are not Gods'.
What is the defination of God - creator, destroyer and sustainer
Create and destroy we definately are putveyors of and sustainers, though thime has yet to tell, we have sustained until now. Tilme will tell about the future. So apart from the supernatural, we infact actually are Gods.
I cannot beleive in the existance of any other God who will let millions of his underlings perish at a concertration camp or a Tsunami or just to hunger and starvation. God should be more benovelent than that, in my humble opinion.

There are really only two arguments in favor of the existence of God. One comes from reason and the other from experience. These arguments are, of necessity, arguments for the existence of God apart and separate from what Scripture tells us about God. Of course, since man applies his reason to everything anyway, the arguments from experience exist in a variety of possibilities. And, some "experience" is necessary even for the argument of reason.

One must also remember that there is no evidence to prove God. Man does not "see" God, man only views evidence of God. Man never sees God. Therefore, all arguments for God's existence must be circumstantial based upon logic and experience.
