The gods have always been writing"God is always there."
In the spiritual world of humans, gods were a special existence. They seemed to be at a distance from us, but in fact, gods had always been there.
From ancient myths and legends to modern literature, the image of gods was everywhere. In the traditional view, people walked into temples and prayed to the gods and buddhas in the sky, praying for their wishes to be fulfilled. It was a kind of reverence and anticipation for supernatural power, as if a god was high in the sky, controlling the blessings and misfortunes of the world. It was like the magic lamp in latin mythology, which could summon a god by gently wiping it and satisfy three wishes of people. This was a typical model of the gods satisfying human wishes.
However, in the Japanese writer, Miyichiko Aoyama's " God on Duty," there was a new interpretation of the gods. The gods here were no longer passively accepting people's prayers. Instead, they asked the person who picked up the lost item and had the word "God on duty" on his arm to fulfill the wishes of the gods. This unique setting broke the convention. The characters of different classes in the book, such as white-collar workers, primary school students, high school students, university part-time lecturers, and presidents of small and micro enterprises, did not change their situation because of external material gains during their interaction with this special " god." Instead, they solved the problems raised by the " god." Positive changes occurred in their hearts, making their lives more positive. This shows us that God can exist in our lives in a unique way, guiding us to find ourselves.
In fact, the gods were not necessarily the lofty figures in myths and legends. They could also be a belief in our hearts. Just like our parents, although they were not gods in myths, they were like gods silently protecting us as we grew up. For example, parents always left the best for their children at the dinner table. This kind of silent love was like the blessing of God. There was also the heartwarming scene of a mother plucking her child's white hair. It was a kind of meticulous care. This kind of love was like a god. Although it was invisible, it was always by our side.
Sometimes, the gods are the hope we hold on to when we are in trouble. Just like the person in the flooded village, he had been waiting for God's rescue. Although he did not understand that God had given him a chance to save him through boats, lifeboats, and helicopters, it also reflected the people's expectations of God's rescue. In our lives, we will also encounter all kinds of difficulties, and we believe that there will be some kind of power in our hearts to help us overcome the difficulties. This belief is actually the form of existence of God in our hearts.
We light incense to worship the gods to comfort the uneasiness in our hearts and seek strength from a spiritual sustenance. God was in every bit of our lives, in our beliefs, in our yearning and pursuit of a better life. It had always been there and had never left.
