What follows destruction isn't always good.

As a student, I learn about all sorts of things from the mind to the mind's eye. I'm currently taking a religions course and this week we have had the opportunity to work with Hindu's god's, while I was boldly choosing mine I came across the God of destruction. Shiva is his name and one thing that caught my eye was "Shiva represents the most essential goodness" It seems that no matter what religious belief one chooses to practice the beliefs stay the same in one form or another.

Reading about Shiva just showed me that there is beauty at the end of the rainbow that from great destruction comes goodness even if we don't see it at first, the universe has a plan in place so that when things need renewing (i.e< all the crazy that's been happening with humanity and mother nature combined) there will be beauty and the good that follows. Then again I believe that if we are to follow the universe's path then we need to trust and respect the flow of the world. Too many times we have abused this and the beauty has not come after the destruction, here as of late, destruction as followed destruction.

I think that if humanity is to fall into this same pattern of abuse the good might not be seen in our lifetimes. We need to take a step back and realise the damage that we have caused in more ways than one. I'm not trying to push anyone to change their habits and ways of life but think about what I'm saying all the discrimination and gaps that we have put against each other, where has the love gone?

The Hindu's believe in may different gods and deities, each come with a purpose towards a person's life and the way that they live, as Shiva may destruct but he also repairs the damage he has created. he is the model deity for renewed and forgiveness the shedding of old habits and attachment to bring forth a better you.

Okay, I'm done.



Thanks, guys,
