Killing the Sacred – Bludgeoning the Heart Out of Life

It seems that we don’t see anything as sacred anymore. It seems that life has been stripped of the scared and diminished in the stripping. There are very few things that we hold in such high regard that we stand enthralled by just the thought of them. Not much captures our imaginations or takes our breath away. Very seldom do we stand mesmerized before something that is so vast that we simply can’t take it in. Indeed, it seems that there’s not much that’s sacred anymore.

Yet, it is not the absence of the sacred but our shallowness in seeing it. We are horribly blinded by our need to control and ourinsane passion to possess. And with such a destructively stubborn mentality, we out rightly reject anything that controls or possess us. And out of this posture born of selfishness and bred of fear, we miss the sacred.
