A letter to the Almighty
Dear God,
Though
this is a letter, I am not following the conventional method. It took me more
than fifteen minutes of pondering to decide this. For, I consider you like my friend
and I have no idea who I am to you. So the usual formal or informal confusion
was a little stronger today.
You might be wondering who I am? Well, no offense
god, I am just a human that you sent to earth nineteen years ago. Do you
remember me? Perhaps not, as I have not yet accomplished anything worth
remembering (I hope you will recognize me the next time I write to you).
Next, you might be wondering why I posted this
letter on my college blog if this was meant to you. Well, technology has
improved a lot here on earth. If this is the advancement in a place where lazy
humans thrive, then I am quite sure you too have a network connection and a
pretty efficient gadget to check all this. And considering that you haven’t
provided your email ID to anyone here, this is the best way. And you need not worry
about who is going to read this, as this is a very deserted place. And trust
me, very few are going to read this.
Let me now move to the reason for writing this
letter. People here (including me, no one is perfect) are too busy doing
nothing that they have no time to even think of using their potential. There
might be something inside us that you made, some kind of bio matter, which
caused this sloth like behavior. See, I know you are a busy man, but just dwell
over this topic for a minute and tell me the teensy little thing that went
wrong. Some people here have managed to overcome this 'slothy syndrome '(we call it neologism here) and they contributed
excellently to our advancements. Some are under privileged to overcome this
syndrome and some are just ignorant about it. If all of us can overcome this
syndrome then, dear god, it will be a heaven on earth situation, and your
habitat will not be the only heaven.
I am not asking you to change us. It’s actually a
suggestion. Today onwards when you are making new members of our kind up there
in heaven, do consider this. Try to make them immune to this disgusting Slothy Syndrome. Someone dear to me has
said “it does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live”, after doing
a bit modification on this quote without the permission of its owner I will say
“it does not do to dwell on your mistakes
and forget to live”. We just want the next generation active and energetic
by all means. You please try to make them the perfect kind, for it would be
easier for us. Because, a majority of our team here on earth considers it the
best, and perhaps easier to modify our kids than try and change ourselves.
Thank you for reading this dear god. Just keep all
this in mind. We all love you dearly and we hope for the best. See you soon
(oops! I don’t want to see you that soon), I meant I will write to you soon.
With love
Your child
