The Math of it all...

I recently came across a funny pseudo philosophical explanation of God. As i am something of an agnostic, the whole concept of God and His doings remain a perpetual mystery to me. Is He there? If He is there, then why does so much sh*t keep happening around us and everywhere? If He just allows good and bad things to happen, does that then make him any better than a dictator, to whom we have to keep showing our reverence by praising and worshipping him? That aspect of things has never appealed to me anyways. After all, i dont think true faith is something to be made of as a friggin public display.

Anyways, this funny book i was reading. One of the protagonists comes up with his own explanation of God and why so much Sh*t happens. It seems he created all life, and left everything to be governed as a mathematical equation. Like how both sides of the equation should be equal always. Pain and suffering to equal joy. Poverty in equal measure as wealth. Love and hate. So basically, everything plays out to an equation. If there is a poor labourer here who struggles for his livelihood every meal, there will be a fat rich corporate on the other side of the world, as well as everyone caught in between. If there is pain at one time, there will be limitless joy another time. And this goes for the soul also it seems. Depending on this life, the next one may balance it out!

Well, i dunno about how seriously you can take that, but in its own way, i felt that it was a funny but inventive way of looking at things! Especially for the skeptics (including me) who may always be wondering...
