    I guess it depends how you look at it. Do we all need to be flowers? Can you find happiness as a earthworm?

    Also, what is wrong with being in the dirt? Is it just looking up at the flowers and wondering why you aren’t there too? I imagine the flowers look pretty lowly to the tall oak tree. And consider that neither the flower nor the tree could not exist without dirt to support its roots. The problem is often just a matter of perspective and comparison. I would imagine if you looked closely at your life you would find you are already at least in the position of the flower, if not greater.

    I absolutely love what you have written here. In my mind this is so true and I totally agree that we are already in the role of the flower. I am totally fascinated by flowers because you can say things without using words just by giving flowers. By giving flowers you can make someone you love happy and tell him or her that you think of them. Most of my friends and family do not live nearby me so I love to send flowers in UK in order to make them happy. Due to this I am totally happy to be in the role of the flower like you wrote in your post. ^^

    I would have to say no on this one. I dont think that the God I believe in merits you for what good you have done. But rather, he gives blessings to everyone just in different forms and time. Though He sends tests to see how well you are able to keep up and if you are going to drift apart with your faith.

    That will then decide if you are to change or stay.

    The worst part about religion is that you are molded to believe it since you are born and you are given very little options to work around once you finally figure out what you want done in your life. And though you can pretty much change it as you grow up, there is that sort of responsibility to follow what you are bound with.

    They are 2 separate entities and whatever is bound in politics does not always translate to be bound by religion. What I mean is whatever things is accepted in governance does not always stand to be accepted in terms of the church. But tha sort of speaks much about how the church moves and works with what is bound by law.

    Well, people are really bound to experience certain things and we can just do much to avoid them. Thare is no measure as to how things are going to happen to you as most of them work through chance.

    And even though you have practiced to be a good and following person all your life, you might still end up with some bad thing to happen to you.
