Foumanews, Maybe you just did a "savab" or made someone happy by giving a gift to a loved one. Maybe you donated something to a charity. Or just the opposite, you have committed a sin that may not be considered a crime where you live but your conscience may be bothering you. Don't think your good deeds are wasted or that your sins are not seen by anyone, there's some system that records everything from A to Z. A system more sophisticated than anything man would imagine but working similar to a photographic memory. What life means is quite different than our individual perceptions. And it is quite broader than most scientific models. Humans are main actors of a simultaneous, multi-vision sequel called life that we know very little of.
At the time when holy books were descending to guide us, it would not have been unimaginable to think that one day devices will be invented by man that would record picture, motion, voice and so many other things because man was aware of the functions of his own amazing brain. But the idea that our lives are just a sample of what is promised as after-life may be difficult to believe. Think about trees that almost die in winter and revive in spring, as an example of life after we die.
A child steals a candy from a pile thinking that nobody has seen him or nobody would find out about it. He may well become a shoplifter or a thief or a politician stealing from people without ever being caught. It may be true that humans can cheat each other. But there are examples like this one from the Bible telling how Adam's son Gain killed his brother Abel and hid his body but the blood on his hands did not go away. It means that even if we change the scene of a sin and pretend nothing has happened, that won't clean our sins. There are many other examples in the Holy books that tell us our every deed is recorded. Even one leaf does not fall from a tree without God's knowledge and that everything is being recorded somewhere. Think of a compact disc with unlimited capacity.
For humans to believe, some prophets had to show miracles ranging from a newborn baby talking (Jesus Christ) or opening a passage in the sea (Moses) but then again people deny because the material world is what we see and evil is always there to steal our souls. But we need to look at things differently to understand how things work. Unfortunately throughout history religion has fallen in hands of profiteers that have changed the texts and misinterpreted the meanings for their own sake. For instance, the clash between church and science has had a reverse effect. Still there are people who want to push the Intelligent Design into schools. There are uncountable signs that guide a human to the creator and there is not really a need for people to advocate the creator trying to take credit.
Today, there are thousands of man made satellites circling the earth, taking pictures, sending data and giving us new information about the very earth we lived in for millions of years. Today, we do not know how many planets like our earth or stars like our sun or galaxies like our milky way exist in the system we term as our expanding universe. The physical universe is just one of the seven systems that is there to explore. From smallest particles to the depths of the immense universe there are unlimited puzzles to solve for us. Every question that we answer creates millions of new questions therefore making our challenging lives more interesting just like an endless game. Then, the more we know the less we know! Once upon a time there were masters of all sciences in their time. But today, it's impossible for a human brain to know everything. Collective thinking and sharing information has proved to be the key to success of every society together with safeguarding individual freedoms in the frame of a universal law.
Some basic facts have remained unchanged throughout man's written history. A man's peace of mind can not be achieved just by satisfaction of materialistic needs. Whether if devil comes to us from inside our body as lust or greed, or enters our brain through provoking our eyes or ears, or as a scary mystical angel from hell, we should be aware 24/7. We should stay away from sins if we want a better life and after life for ourselves and our children. Last year, the Tsunami and other natural disasters were just an emphasis to the fact that nations may be destroyed by wrath of God in seconds.
Let's think again when doing something bad like posing naked in front of a camera . Be it Osama Bin Laden's niece or the cameraman or the editor. Even if you're simply posting some meat on the internet or sneaking through pictures That is your mother, wife, sister or daughter. Watch out, you're always on camera!
