The Snowglobe (02-11-07)

In my generation snow-globes were something that passed through the hands of a child at least once. They were real-scapes or cityscapes locked inside a plastic dome of water and fake snow. One would shake them and it gave the appearance it was snowing as the heavier white particles settled. They were a fixed and closed environment that could be effected by outside forces. In this way it became a type of what I see in the comments here. Our world is really a small fixed environment that gets touched, shaken, or moved by motives bigger than it. Those who judge me here fail to know this. This is the danger of judgment from eyes trapped in a snow-globe. First I deal with ethics. Their entire ethical system of good and evil fails to account for the motives of one greater than them that is outside their world and immune to their judgment. It is why Abraham, Job, Moses and even Jesus fall under criticism. They can say they know this Jesus who professed to be the one above this world imposing its will upon it, but without recognition of superiority and authority they are bound to their optimism of dread and despair. Like the character Glum they are always saying, “It’ll never work.” Even when the snow is falling those of this globe may have a dialectic or polemic discourse on all the reasons why but if they fail to recognize the hand and will not subject to, influenced by, or contained within their limits they are only to gain confidence in their delusion. Simpleton equations of pain = evil, wickedness receives wrath, God = love blah, blah, blah should not be tolerated even by the most average in intelligence. Only having a relationship with the hand behind this globe can give you any hope of wisdom, any understanding of His motives.
