No One Practices Heaven

People have turned to greed instead of sharing and making a world a better place.

Not enough people practice the idea of goodness in their lives. Seriously, heaven is just a place that is mentioned in many holy books, and people adore it. Still, the actual engagement of practicing this heaven idea is not being practiced on Earth. Just about everyone in this reality tries to be good, but, when it comes down to the real deal, people opt out. Of course, this is not done consciously. For the most part, most people are not even aware that they are not practicing righteousness.

Basically, people shoot for the norm or, at least, what has been established as the norm. The person will basically go to school, learn their craft, and then go to work. Yes, the whole idea to work hard is very holy, and it is sold as the number one action that must be done by all human beings. This is very agreeable, but hoarding the benefits can be a bit of a silver lining when it comes to questioning in being a good soul.

The US preaches Capitalism, and it is one of the best systems that seems to keep most happy. Of course, the wealthy benefit very much from Capitalism. In saying this, the system demands that hard work reaps profits, and it holds true for the most part. It all depends on the outcome and decisions made behind the push for respective individuals or companies. Anyway, most humans that reach a stable position in the social class like to protect their fortune. There is nothing wrong with protecting one’s fortune, for it is a convention that has been taught to all humans since the beginning of time. However, this convention has turned into greed, and greed comes in many levels and in many different ways.

It is greed that puts most humans in a position that righteousness is not practiced. In reality, we as humans, the smartest beings on this planet, are supposed to act as protectors of the planet and humanity. Instead, greed has made humans gain value through the materialistic lifestyle. Wealth is hoarded and made into numbers placed in institutions that supposedly protect prosperity for individuals respectively.

See, all the saviors from these holy books that man has created to control the masses preach sharing wealth. When one is in need, the person with more must help. It is written in the Bible, Quran, Tanakh, Sruti Texts, and many others that one must give to ones in need. As a society, man does try to establish this notion to give, but the individual does not practice this at all.

Every single person puts their money in a bank account. Yes, sometimes, some is given to the ones in need, but not enough is being done. The evidence is clear! Poverty prevails throughout this world. The wealthy are numbered and the super rich are only a small percent of the population. While holy saviours written in holy books, like Jesus and Muhammad, preach wealth sharing, people will never practice it to an effective level. Of course, these same people, get offended when one speaks badly of their saviour, but they do not practice anything that their holy idols preach when it comes to sharing.

Maybe that is why it is said, “life is hell.” The fact that people do not follow the preachings of the holy books that govern them could be the reason why this world is so maladjusted.

People love to go to church and listen to the beautiful and idealistic words of what should be practiced, but, instead, people opt out and shoot for the opposite. It might not be man’s fault, for the convention of hard survival is taught and prevails any act of goodness. Maybe that is why “Heaven” could be just an illusion or just a fantasy.

In the end, if man did practice more goodness, this place called world could be a place of heaven. It already has the beauty. Yes, life depends on death for survival in this realm, but the hoarding of wealth is not a natural way of doing it. It is the main vice that is practiced by man throughout the world, and it is destroying it. No one practices Heaven on Earth and no one is innocent.
