It's Not His Fault.

Many times I ask myself if there is role for man in the world. Why God did put us here? Had he planned a special goal he wanted us to achieve? Who knows we will never know but we do know that many years ago man was placed on this earth and started evolving not because of God but be cause of himself. We are used to blame God for the things that happen, good or bad we find ourselves saying “if god wants to” or “because god wanted it to happen”. This is not true, things happen because we make them happen, in the end it is no one else fault but ours.

Pangloss believes how all “was designed for the best” but James did not agree with him and I agree with James. “Men, he said must have somewhat altered the course of nature; for they were not born wolves, yet they have become wolves.” We are not given our role for life when we are born but it is up to us to create one. We have the liberty to choose weather it be good or bad meaning that if something happens, it happened because of us, because we chose to be that way, we were not forced to and no one chose for us. “God did not give them twenty-four pounders or bayonets, yet they have made themselves bayonets and guns to destroy each other.” (Page 31). We have the tendency to create evil thinking that it is for the best. We create guns for our protection but because of the creation of these, war and conflict arises since we have the resources to create it.

Those people that think that the world is a horrible place should think twice because it is in part their fault. As Jean Paul Sartre said “Everything has been figured out, except how to live life.” We were never given a handbook on how to live life on earth still we have to live it some way or the other. Unfortunately men trying to think for the best most of the times make decisions that lead to the worst. I am not saying that everything in life is bad and that all the choices made by men lead to the worst. We have made some great progress and discoveries we should be proud of. The way man has handled evolution is something that impresses me greatly. Nevertheless I cant help thinking how most of the times in order to me precautionary and protective we create ides that tend to shift and instead of proetecting us end up destroying us.
