God, a Boundation or a Belief?

As a child, I used to dislike people who were biased. I had seen some bias at the hands of my school teachers. And I don't know if the teachers were genuine. I've never indulged in sycophancy. Well, it doesn't naturally come into my behavior.

Suddenly, now all grown up, one day, I realised, I've lived on a thought of foolishness. When I see beggars, when I see bad things happening to people not doing anything wrong, just at the wrong place or even otherwise owing to circumstances, my thought is that even God is biased. I have never questioned on the existence of God. Believe me, I love God for what I have and how "beautiful" the world is. And I will never question its existence. Some say, it is karma that leads you to what situations you're in. But would I ever be able to know what wrong I did in this or previous life? Then, how fair is it when I don't know mystery behind my own soul?

Religion at most places is decided at your birth. That decides to the "types" of God you may have. I believe (and many do) that God is one. It is a power that is making even a leaf fall from the tree. But because the society at large is praying, even if I pray in my mind, I should visit the temple, this is told. Now, here, it becomes a boundation. And even accepting a religeon from your birth is another boundation.

My trust in God is firm. It is in every creature I believe. But I don't feel everyone is good. So, how can God be all positive and without mistakes if it resides in its creations who are us. I believe more on the messenger of God, the modern day gurus.  The busy modern day doesn't make me calm and at times lonely. They help you think positive and make you feel that you are not alone.

God is certainly a belief for me. But, if you ask me as to whether I learned about the idea on my own, then I would say, I read stories sometimes told by my family and sometimes by reading books. I went to temple. During childhood, I did not think much. The idea of God was given to me. I could believe myself more but I believed in my God at some instances.

These thoughts that I share on God would be there to continue. I've seen some people becoming religious all of a sudden in life. These people accept whatever little good they have and are grateful to the creator. Waiting for a change to see in me. Waiting for a miracle like always.
Love God.
