God's Creation,
following George Carlin

According to one belief, God created Man in his
likeness; God created Man as the supreme creation.
However, when I examine human beings, myself
included, I come short wondering if that's what God
was able to do best!
Man has looked inside the heart of atoms, man has
looked into the vast galaxies of the Universe but
fails to look inside his own heart and soul; man has
achieved remarkable feats, from scaling Mount
Everest to creating microprocessors but man has not
yet overcome his desire to destroy things around
him, from other human beings to the atmosphere he
breaths. Man is indeed unique, for we know not
another beast like us but to say that we represent
the best work of God is a bit assumptive. George
Carlin, a famous comedian, who died last year but
wrote a remarkable piece before his death that I quote here because I can not
write a better one.

Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we
have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider
Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,
but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
bigger houses and smaller families, more
conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees
but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but
less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too
recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get
too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
