Heaven and hell on earth

We are created for a very simple, beautiful and wonderful life… that’s an ideology but in truth, life is but a paradox. We have to accept in humility that there are millions of things which we cannot understand or simply on the grounds that we are unable to comprehend them.

What is the purpose of my life? All the trials and tribulations, pains and sufferings… am I suppose to accept it not as a curse or punishment but a gift with a very specific purposes? Can I view my life as a challenge, a testing ground for faith, trust and hope? With unconditional love, one will not be afraid of the windstorms of life. Unfortunately, it may not be just a drizzle but a typhoon that devastates your whole being. We make our own heaven or hell…. yet sometimes it only takes one person to create a living hell for us.

The society in which we live has shredded me to pieces. Why did God allow free will that man could be either Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde? We see the inhumanity of man in which each one of us is capable of becoming a Nazi monster yet at the end of the other spectrum, we also have the ability to become a Mother Teresa. Alas…. life is too taxing at this moment. Sometimes I smile and most of the times I cry….
