Here I begin with the
sentence “The World is so funny”. The world was created in such a
way that God himself could differentiate who were who and what were
the responsibilities assigned for? Among all his creations Human
being was created to take care of the entire being in this world. But
the question here again, did human being really take care of the
entire creations?
I thought God made human
being as one approved existence in one family. To my retrospection
human being were named as “my son in one” by God. But to today’s
world view we could not meet one another unlike God created all of us
in one. Looking at the Aristotle’s Philosophy in regard to “form
and matter” where he said form come first. To Platonism is based on
idealism which idea comes first. Which one do we emphasize? God
created human being or human beings are creating God in today’s
context?
The whole world talks
about the peace existence. Do we think that the world was created in
peace from the beginning? Or the conflict came into existence in the
process of the Heraclitus's theory of a perpetual flux world? To this
quest you have to answer from your metaphysic. The answer will jump
up from different perspective from different folks with own
“JUSTIFICATION” which will appear so funny to one another because
of “SELF JUSTIFICATION”. The argument begins here where one don’t
agree with the other. It hears so funny seeing what the world is
containing of. Here I oblige to all human being to think that we
makes world funny or the world are funny to us?
From the philosophical
perspective it is said that we need to think and create some thinking
out of our rational power. The rational of one may not be true to the
other but for the one who rationalized is true. Then we pose a
question here, is that not so funny to say that it is right when it
is not right to others? From the theological point of view what we
think is not authentic unless it comes to the will of God. Then why
God created Human being with a thinking capacity? Is it only to think
about good and not the bad? And again what is bad and good for you
and me? Why God created black and white people, why handsome,
beautiful and ugly? I wish a cow could climb the tree, dog fly like a
bird, a monkey being husband of a beautiful wife and an elephant
under the command of an ant.
Societies and cultures
are so funny when it comes to comparison. My country does not have a
single wine shop because Biblically it is claimed to be a sin.
Socially it has declared to be pollution and physical destruction.
But look at the other side of the country, wine is made as a medicine
and healthier resources compulsory to take every after meal. One boy
traveled somewhere around the world and he was precautious to be
aware of his dressing. No half long is entertained the moment you
enter the particular destiny because it is considered to be the funny
dressing and negative. But, what happen to the culture of those
people? They can lift up their cloths name “Lungi” beyond the
mini skirt which people could see their VIP. What a contradictory
cultures which make the world so funny again.
Millions of religious
people talks about their own religion, the truth, heaven and earth,
hell and paradise who will lead to what and where? When one man talks
about the truth from his religious perspective what is the
understanding for the other person from the other religion? It will
be a funny talk, why because we have forgotten the theology when we
have an inter-religious talk. People talks about the poor and the
rich, who are poor and who are rich, why the world not exist totally
with poor people neither totally rich? What and how the world could
have been if there is only rich people or if only poor people? Don’t
you think that the world looks so beautiful with these two diverse
ways of life? Can the coin be made with one side? I don’t think so.
Then why people fight for the equality? Hence to the Stoics
philosophy both pain and pleasure, poverty and riches, sickness and
health, were supposed to be equally unimportant, which means it
turned to be important.
Half of the world is with
the conflicts and half is with not fully peace. Who is fighting for
the conflicts and who is fighting for the peace? It seems so funny to
see the world in this form. Why it is funny because the one who
create conflicts is committed and sacrificial because peace is so
destructive for them. Who is authentic and who is not? Who fights for
what and who is not? What a funny argument and hard labor world.
Albert Kammu’s philosophy of life relates to the absurd world. Many
countries are inventing several atomic weapons, are these because
they are highly intellectual or because they are insecure from others
attack? Many arms groups, many factional, many terrorists have their
own right fighting for. It looks so interesting to view because it
functions like toys play and children’s kitchens play. What is
wrong there to against? Yet, there is.
How is your
contextualization with other culture and religious practices? Are
there any possibilities where you can easily contextualize? I don’t
know and I have no idea.
The idea here is “WHO
IS RIGHT AND WHO IS NOT RIGHT? WHO IS NOT WRONG AND WHO IS WRONG?”
It leads to the funny world when the world consists of a dialectical
human being that never ends.
Therefore, as a part of
this funny world, can you make this funny world into no funny world?
Can you make this world and the nature a harmonic
unity in Multiplicity?
