Thank you for your comments and opinions on the subject.
Each of us is such a miraculous creation by HIM that it may well be,
as you said, ridiculous idea for a creature to try to fathom what Creator has in mind.
However, my attitude is always that of an open-minded student who wants to learn
and hear what other men and women who spent their life times studying, praying and
contemplating about the spiritual entity of humans and the relationship of the creator and
the creations, just as you and I did for medicine.
It is an interesting experience for me as a believer that the more I read about God,
the more I feel satisfied or filled and want to read all the more
in contrast to the opposite experience that I get
when I read or watch the worldly, mundane things.
As you said, at the end of the day what truly matters will be between God, our Creator,
and each of us, nothing else.

That's the way World goes around as it did
and it will be.
This is my trivial thought, sun-bae-nim-deul.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) said that out of all human beings on this earth, 3% of people think that they
think, only 2 % of people really think and rest of 95% of people never think. Only drifting away with water flow, like a dead fish, so to speak. Great Braitain's Samuel Johnson (1709-1783) said what human hates the most is
intellectual labor. With that in mind, this is an interesting article for it gives us a chance to think about human world.
First, author's view as to dividing entire population into two categories are absolutely true, but only from the
theological standpoint. Paul Johnson's view on people of first category is very much biased. They are not any more
morally wrong than the SAINTS. Because of their social status, they are more exposed and more recognizable.
Human being are, when created by Him, moved more by emotion than reason. We are made to follow the
pleasures and interest. We would not move a finger tip unless there is benefir from it.
Dale Carnegie(1888-1955) said , "When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic,
but with creatures of emotion, creatures bristling with prejudice, and motivated by pride and vanity”
I think we have to judge people as to what they have comtributed to the well being of people and what difference
they made to the quality of life of others. Whether you lessened the suffering and pain that is strewn around all
over?
If you cannot say 'Yes' positively to these questions, your mission in this world has not been yet accomplished.
We, one way or another, work for the well being of others through our what we call 'occupation'.
Doctors, army, bus drivers, mail carriers, law enforcement agents,................etc. These ordinary people work hard
in every little corner of our society to maintain healthy social fabrics. To me, they are much more important people
for daily living that we have to make. Saints are not the only people that God intended. No way.
I strongly believe in God myself, but there is more than religion in this world of cold reality.

basically from the viewpoint of our Creator who created humans among others.
Science acknowledges that the human brain and body is much more complex than
the entire universe Einstein and others have explored so far.
I felt that this perspective is quite different from what an average man and woman
nowadays are familiar with and deserves being put on this page.
