SCRIPTED?
SCRIPTED?
Is not our particular life's pageant pre-plotted ? Are we not merely jets and wisps afloat in the will of God? Are we humans not blessed or burdened, as you would, with such a sense of self-ideation as to presume inner presence of "free will?" Free will being independent of and apart from the will of God?
Or flipping the script, are we gods ourselves ? Unlike all else on earth and in heaven whose routines are set with seasonal, diurnal, hourly consistency, we stand apart alone.
Did we create, call forth ourselves?
Putting it squarely, if all else here is scripted, then we too are scripted.
Scripted to be here, to work here, to live, love, to reproduce here, to die here; as all else here must do.
