Tacit Hindrance.

so they say, God helps those - who help themselves. Does this mean god doesnt help those who 'cant' help themselves? Can't is a key word here. It implies that there are many who cannot lift themselves out of sheer enormity of the burden which they carry on their shoulders. Will god be indifferent to those people? Or shall i say , is god indifferent at first place?

So if god created this world , does he take any part in the scheme of things as they unfold or he is letting it all unfold on its own? No one really knows how it is. What is think is of little importance but - i will still think. So if i say god does take part in the usual affairs , it will only imply that he doesnt let humans take control of this world? Afterall he made them , i am sure he wouldve had greater knowledge of how they are by nature and hence can fix the system in such a way that it never falls apart.And if he is consistently interfering , then to me , it looks that he didnt know what he was trying to make. Result is that he has to keep re-constructing the system. My underline assumption is that he is omnipotent and he has all the knowledge , hence the question of his inability to read a situation before it occurs doesnt hold valid. Conclusion? To me , he isnt interupting the system ,atleast not as frequently as it is stated. However , i will imagine there is absolute nothing injected by him.

Second argument is that he doesnt control the world at all. If that is said to be true then it will be a havoc. He mite not be controling it as the term itself is , but he mite have set the system up the way that it is already indirectly controlled. Suppose there is no control by him , each human is allowed to do whatever it wants to do. We can well imagine it will be a chaos with no direction and stability. Everyone will react to the samething the way they want to. Now , one can argue that by classifying humans in different creeds , religions etc the control is already there. But it surely is evident that there is no complete freedom

My argument is , its a bit of freedom and a bit of control. To me its a smart move and a brilliant system. I have already stated what couldve happened incase of a complete control or a complete freedom, but lets say if i am allowed to be somewhat free and somewhat in control - i will never be able to go against the system and damage it. Control is set by the system which enables itself whenever someone or some specie tries to go against it. But the freedom to go against it still lies with the creature. So , we all make a choice but how that choice unfolds and collides with the system , called control , determines what will be the end result. Hence to me , there is neither a complete freedom nor a complete control.

Lastly , its not a simple matter of making a choice and going through with it. Its a responsibility, which a choice carries with itself , that matters. Traps are already set , but choices to avoid them or not are ours.

May God help those , who help themselves - and also who cant help themselves , for they deserve more of it either due to their ignorance or incapcitation due to all the unknown factors of life.
