My Encounter with GOD

I have reasoned with people all my life.
I have had worthwhile conversations, learned to understand their point of view and respect everyone’s opinions.

But in my head, I have a million lingering questions, doubts about people, about myself.

The only valuable conversation I have ever had is with God,
I do not follow religious practices,
I do not pray daily.
But my most heartfelt conversations are with God,

When I cry, (Oh God Why?)
When I am angry, (Why God Why?)
When I am happy. (Thank God!)

Knowingly or unknowingly god is a part of my life everyday,

What would it be like if I ever encounter God?

In my head, the way I imagined, there are millions of questions I would like to ask him.

Questions to which there are no answers yet,

I would start by,

Why are humans calling you with different names?

Why is there violence when you teach us just the opposite through your stories and excerpts?

Why are people preaching and minting money using your name?

Why is power in the hands of Rich Goons?

Why is the Bad prevailing and the Good labeled as “Naive Fools”?

Why is there so much hate among us?

Why am I judged by my race and color?

Why are there millions of innocent lives taken in the name of caste?

Why are human relationships filled with lies and deceit?

When will you fix this, God?
When will you fix everything that is wrong with this world and its people?

The truth is, God cannot answer these questions, It is not in God’s hands, He is our mere creator.

He gave us life and resources to survive and we are surviving, but at the cost of other people’s lives.

Is it really worth it?

Think about it, if we try and find answers to the questions above, we succeed in discovering the path to a better tomorrow and restoring faith in humanity!
