| 214: Greatness |

To be great, is to be misunderstood.
Hm. Yeah, I'll get behind that one. I know one being, one Being rather, who is what I'd call great. And yes, He's pretty consistently misunderstood...
I mean, it's not like it's His idea of worship for two groups of monkeys to wipe each other off the face of the earth, but historically you guys seem to, to like doing that. Fighting over which of you is doing it right, which of you has the, the right, to worship... like you owned Him. Like you could lay claim to something like that.
Sometimes I think maybe He went about it... wrong, with you guys. Tried to speak too frankly from the start. I think maybe He's too. Too big for you guys. The prompt says great, okay, yeah. That works. He's maybe too great for most of you to handle, too vast and all-encompassing and infinite and simple. So you complicate, you fuck Him up if you'll pardon my French. With all these arguments, all these boxes you try and put Him in, try and make him just another version of you...
He is bigger than that. I don't want to say He doesn't care-- He does. Every sparrow that falls to the ground. But oh, you want to make out like you're the centers of the universe-- children, you are specks of sand tumbling on the beach before the ocean that is His presence. Busy grinding against each other, never seeing the water itself. Busy twisting His words down into a list of rules you can fight over.
On the other hand, I can't say it's only you humans who have, at times, failed to... understand.

Oh VERY nice!!!
With all these arguments, all these boxes you try and put Him in
Forgive me for my streak of humour, but this piece reminds me of another fictional character's line "You people and your quaint little categories."
... so totally out of context, and yet so totally fitting...
Again, I love it!
On this, Gabriel, I could not agree with you more.
