Stop Waiting And Looking For A Messiah. Do Not Wait For The Gods.
Throughout human history, people have turned to deities and gods in moments of uncertainty, fear, and desperation. The idea of divine intervention and the belief that a higher power can help us in our times of need is deeply ingrained in many cultures and religions. However, relying solely on the gods to solve our problems is not always the best course of action. Instead, we should take responsibility for our own lives and actions, and not wait for divine intervention to make things right.
We should never wait for the gods and take our responsible sense of proactive agency and free will. As humans, we have the power to make decisions and take actions that can shape our lives, steer our future and author our fate. We have to harness our creativity, use our intelligent rationality, build skills, and innovate on resources to create the lives we want for ourselves and for others in a symbiotic synergy, and overcome obstacles beyond zero-sum in compounded efforts even before they may come our way. While divine parables can inspire us, do not mistake the moon and the finger that points at the pen of your own fate.
`God` should have given this heart to someone with brains who can help his herd, or at least give me a brain. - 2001–11.26

We can't attribute the darkness for casting our shadows, nor should we impute the devil for our own evil. - Re: The devil was invented to be blamed, 2003-07.16
What rhymes well with reason may not necessarily rhyme right with reality, neither does what men resolute is…
