Proving Heaven 2.0

"Seek to understand so that you might believe again. When you believe, faith, trust, and wisdom follow." Have you ever felt like things in Life aren’t right? You work hard at life and try to get as close to perfect as possible, yet things often fall apart? Do bad things happen to good people, no matter how hard you try? It seems that too often good things happen to people acting badly. Liars manipulate things to get their own way, promising a better life, yet never delivering. It seems like life is insane. We want a utopia, a place where everything is perfect and we work toward it. We believe if we work hard enough, do the right things and cajole others long enough, we can make the world a better, maybe perfect, place. We try and try, but the Good Life seems to elude us. A lot of people just don’t “get” it and ruin it for everybody else. For some, social and environmental consciousness, eating vegan, loving all living things isn’t as popular as it should. For others, following their inner guidance and trying new things without interference from others is their goal. Some want a god-like government to enforce utopian ideas; others idea of utopia is to be left alone to live their lives in peace and harmony, as long as they don’t interfere with the rights of anybody else. People seldom agree for long. Something isn’t right. But what to do? We see ourselves as unique and wonderful individuals. We revel in this distinctiveness that sets us apart from all others. We feel separate, yet acknowledge a bond we would like to strengthen, at least with some people. How can we make a better world when so many are obnoxious and despicable and don’t want to change?
