Few days back (read months), I came across an article on web which was about the widely famous quote by the famous German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche.
"God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we
ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"
ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?"
A 19th century
philosopher whose quote in his famous work The Gay Science did literally mean the death of God? No, his quote reflects the idea on which the 'self-sufficient' & self-centered world works. But the question here arises is how true it is?
The 21st century, not only made the man self-sufficient but it also brought with it the infamous greed, the desires to achieve more. It has somehow created the drift in the basic human qualities. Every single man believes that he is the master of his own and he can control the world. It leads to the need of being superior, but he forgets that the world runs by the power who is above all. He killed the God to satisfy his own needs. He neglected the nature and the very need of his own survival.
The modern man acts as if he has the power to do whatever he wants to. He feels that he does not need to follow what is unseen and he can enjoy what he can see. But future is unseen and unpredictable as well. It is govern by the supreme power.
How we killed Him?
We kill Him daily. We kill Him through communism. We kill Him when we fight for him. We kill him when materials becomes superior for us. And we kill Him when we forget that we all are made by Him. It is true that God is unseen but He holds the universe in His hands. He is the one who created and He shall be the one who ends it. The man is like an ant or even smaller when compared to His supremacy.
Today we are self-sufficient, powerful of all living beings. For us, everything is just once click. But, we are on the verge of political acrimony and chaos. We have lost trust in all institutions. People are on roads and they have lost their trust their in government they chose. Vandalism and violence are peaking. If we can make people believe that God is watching and keeping a count then I guess their behavior can be controlled. We fight with each other in the name of religion, gender, money and what not. The rich kills poor and the poor calms himself by thinking that the rich will go to hell. I remember the death of God is when we fight for the piece of land claiming 'our' God was born here. God died when religion has all its influence over people but not the humanity. We pulled each other away for religion rather than embracing. God died when we became God.
Is He really dead?

God is one who never decompose. He never ends. He is as big as universe and as small as He lives in our hearts. He lives in faith, the faith which is responsible for the whole existence. He controls and brings balance. But He is real anyhow. He is not a fool that will watch us destroying His creation. His beautiful world. The belief in His supremacy and His governance shall only bring peace to the apocalyptic world of chaos, fights & killings.
