so far, this day could be included on my own roster of happiest days of my mundane existence. i am not really used to classifying days by what had happened, but today is only peculiarly special. a short, intimate distance to the one you like, and a worthwhile, getting-to-know-each-other talk as a perk will do. i could not help but be flustered by a comely, adolescent lady a few centimeters away from me, while unknowingly sniffing copious quantity of some compatible pheromones coming from her. an internal meltdown ensued, as if my organs desisted from functioning, or the heavens did crumble into obliteration as the Earth imploded. I might fall for her for the nonce, yes, I might probably. Or did I already? her expressive eyes speak of fervent ardor and affectionate warmth I myself do not know. I am ensnared and enthralled on a superb yet delicate intricacy of nature's law- the law of attraction. yes, indeed it was, and i have the right to impute this selfish sentiment to nature, but I will never do it, and I will never be indignant and rueful for being a victim. I want to pursue the path, I want to suffer the inevitable outcomes, i want to enjoy the temporal glee of love, I want her. I like her.

deliverance from evil
The realm of religion had already surmounted human mind for almost thousands of years, incarcerating freedom of thought, learning and philosophy on a pressurized, airtight vessel of pandemonium and faith. Every denomination and sect, all goading their own flock of gullible sheep, can be compared to a herd of bloated hogs wallowing and bathing on a puddle of squalid mud. The only consolation promised to mankind is a definite salvation carried out by an all-knowing, almighty being called God. He, who existed before the creation of beginning, and will exist until the end of sempiternal eons, was very long revered by man and celebrated by thousands of truth seekers.
As we open our eyes to see and relish the marvels of the world, religion quickly abducted us, reared us on an absolute and compassionate world, and spared us from the wicked fangs of sinfulness and immorality. And as we grow up, we will discover that we were breastfed with black, noxious milk that rendered us as helpless and hapless creatures blinded by futile faith and folly.
Wise men and scholars proved religion’s efficiency and influence and they attached it to erudition, wisdom, infallible dogmas and creation of life. Indeed, Man was drawn on a reckless journey of religion for he was in profound desire to know the meaning of life. Apostasies, iconoclasm, erroneous doctrines and fanaticism ensued, caused nuances and raised a portion of hell to intimidate people from all walks of life. These outlandish revelations, insanity and dubious teachings were all pinpointed to highfalutin church demagogues who act as if they already met God face to face. The corollary: an influx of self-proclaimed prophets, ecstatic saints, angels and spiritualists inundated the hallowed limelight. Donning their pretentious white robes, they pretend to be as servants of truth, but in fact they are ravenous wolves starving for obscenity and authority, they are sent to mislead and to kindle chaos, confusion and discontentment.
If we try to look at it on a lighter way, religion is undeniably a result of man’s questioning nature and skepticism. He wanted to distinguish God above the rest. Man wanted to touch God’s impalpable face. Man wanted a panacea— total redemption. But still, it took him ages to discern God’s ulterior motives but to no avail.
Our valorous undertaking to unravel the arcane rationale of existence and death placed us on a vantage point where we can see everything. But our own sights were opaquely obstructed that we end up feeblish and spiritually incapacitated. Whether we like it or not, all religious precepts already impressed on our narrow minds will survive and improve, generation after generation and until everyone will question again the authenticity of life and God. Whoever said that our world would be better off without religion must be having good night sleeps.
Sad to say, we are the unsuspecting performers on a fierce role-playing game called religion, bashing and smashing each others’ heads asunder, with God as the unseen spectator applauding our self-induced lunacies on a muffled thunderclap.
