The Symbol Of Gods

When we think of God we think of religion, yes God is the one omnipotent.
There are others that see things a litttle different: the American Indians
Know god as a powerful totem and errect totem poles as ceremonious gods.
They are unaware that their gods are not the real God that gave life to us.
Then there is the Buddist people who worship their god Buddah, and they
Bow down to this god as it is so real to them. We also have the Egyptian
Culture in which people worshipped the Sun as their god, seeing it's
Powerful rays of light shining in the heavens. But not all gods are of a
Religious nature: There is another god that seems to have amazing powers -
The god of money. Yes, the rich people look on this god as a god of substance,
Wealth and real power; it can make men very powerful or it has the
Ability to destroy them. Money is without a doubt the root of all evil.
We all need it to survive in this world, but we should never treat it as a god,
Because doing so is a terrible sin, and in the end the real God would
Somehow punish you for worshipping this god of evil - money.

We all tend to believe in a God as such, and for each person they need to find out what makes sense for them and what to believe in.
But yes sooo many people make wealth their God and forget about faith and trusting, and yes being comfortable and not stressing about money must be wonderful, but when we live to always make more and more and are never happy its sad.

Balance is always what we should look for in life.hug kiss
Well written my sweet friend wine

Hi Danesh, Thanks for your comment, you are quite right, I could have made it longer the ammount of false gods in our world today, but I felt it was sufficient at the time, I have a brilliant mind for poems, but even writing poetry it becomes tiring at time, I wanted to be a novelist not a poet but the three poetry competitions got me started around 2000 to 2002, which featured my last poem or so I thought, I wrote 6 more for making presents with, then stopped till 2012, when I wrote my first new poem "My Grandfather's Grocery Shop", and have been writing since. All the best. John cheers

I think the plan is to get rid of money ,,, one world currency a chip!!!eventually, and use a chip, its eventually gonna happen but getting back to the gods....I look at it as where you come from is your natural, envornmental belief system. Its only natural that , in a culturally diverse world our concept of god, is different ....ty for your thought-provoking topics xx cheriepeace

Dearest Cherry, Too much money corrupts and can change a person's outlook in life, making a god of money is almost blasthomey as it is putting a false god before the real God, They could own the whole world and yet lose their own soul. Just because of money, they may be rich with wealth and be poor in spirit, is it really worth it, they can't take the money with them when they go to the pearly gates of heaven, This is food for thought, so reflect on what I have said, thanks for your comments Cherry. kiss bouquet heart wings teddybear
