GOD and SOCIETY


As known to all, in the primtive era, we humans were uncivilized. Man was living..just for the sake of living. There were no rules n regulations, no customs n traditions..there was nothing like society. There were miseries, bloodshed, violence as there was no fear and no respect for each other. However, man was afraid of the forces of nature - rain, wind, sun, etc for which he had no solution.

Mysterious and unanswered questions were termed as God which were basically forces of nature. Things for which there were no logical reasons were God. Things beyond human-control were God.

And from this evolved the concept of religion and society. Society was established and rules were set. People have to follow them to make world a better place to live. Otherwise, Might is Right would have ruled and ruined everything.. God was considered as the pivot and goal of each was to do good deeds so as to make God happy. Because ultimate aim was to attain nirvana..that is to reach Heaven, the God's abode. Else God will punish you.

As science started answering those mysteries, faith on God started shaking. More number of people turned into atheists.

I dont know whether God exist. And there is nothing much to prove his existence also. But still his presence is must. Like
* A drunkard wont go to temple drunk
Faith in God stops him from boozing that day.
*People celeberate diwali,id,chistmas and other religious festivals.
God brings the people together to share their happiness
* There is lot of charity on God's name
God make them philanthropic

God gives hundreds of reasons to people to unite, live happily and smile !!
