Too often people lose sight of the communal benefits of religions and get caught up with their own personal wants and desires. They want and desire more and more it is greed in faith. Often times their desires and expectations are not attainable, and this leads to grief, and misery.
I love the undertones in the Simpsons, like when homer will say something like, "please God, Let me get that doughnut, or let me win the lottery" But I think this truly does happen, well maybe not the doughnut..lol
Or how about when a sports player will thank god for letting them win, I mean come on is god a patriots fan?? god had nothing to do with it...sheesh
Cheers,
One with the tao
