It appears that we are witnessing an increase in devastating disasters occurring daily.
Indeed, the live coverage on television presents a greater display of life and death nowadays than ever before; historically, tales of the past were typically shared through storytelling or firsthand accounts.
Both methods could be susceptible to questions regarding their accuracy. However, with today’s technology, don’t you think there’s a higher prevalence of tragedies?
Reports from countries across the globe highlight issues like viruses, earthquakes, hurricanes, and various weather-related challenges. Moreover, we must acknowledge the ongoing rebellions in an increasing number of nations, resulting in bodies scattered across the ground. Literally, when a world virus isn’t present, conflict arises over earthly territories with pirates, ransom demands, famines, droughts… all compounded by flooding and storm damage.
Certain religions forewarn of apocalyptic events, while others claim that divine punishment is descending upon humanity for its wrongdoings.
I’m uncertain if any scientific evidence supports these claims. Nonetheless, if a divine providence exists, then this entity—be it he or she—could be a contributing factor to the escalating chaos.
Is it not worth contemplating a pause in the choices we make that might be inciting this punisher’s wrath?
If you were in God’s position, what actions would he/she take next?
History reveals that doom and devastation often follows when we provoke the Gods, as seen in the narratives of the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Jews, and Muslims.
Whether true or merely speculation, it’s never wise to tempt fate!
To all those passionate about history… consider this a cautionary tale.
