How do we know there is a heaven or a hell? Or for you Hindus (I hate using that word, will outline the reasons in some other post!) how do you know that someone is rewarded for their good karma and punished for the bad ones?
Really how do you know? There is no way of knowing...just like whether God exists or this universe is a garbled mix of gases and explosions....
Think of it there is no way of knowing!!!!!!
I think this dichotomous concept is a way of moving on with your life....you see some assho!e going through life as if it was a party. He has the money, the women (or men), flashy cars, big houses, good enough family but deep down he is an assho!e. He is the guy who makes millions out of other people's misery. He is the guy responsible for thousands of sweat shop workers or the billions of poor immigrant women being sold as sex slaves.
And then there is you!
The guy or girl who means no harm, wants a decent house (nothing too big), wants a car that gets you to work and you want to eat a decent meal in the evening. Hell, you even think that if you won a million dollars you would donate it to some charity. And you get treated like crap by life.
(Image by Mark Parisi, www.offthemark.com)You go on living this life saying this assho!e guy will go to hell or will come back as cat (normally I would have said dog but I love dogs!). Really it is only you and people like you who have made up this idea, me included. It is our way of going through life and hoping something out there makes it worthwhile to live a good life.
Here is my question - what if that's all it is? What if there is no reward system designed by god? What if we all go to the same place...good or bad.
