Frankly, I don’t think most humans are able to conceive of
the idea of Gd. Most humans are either to dumb, idol worshippers for the sake
of popularity, and/or smart people jaded by their own abilities.
1. With respect to people
that just aren’t smart enough to faith, it is not that I do not believe that
there vessel, meaning their body, is not permeated by holy Light, but it is that
they simply do not have an IQ high enough.
That might sound small minded, but I have
had a professional IQ assessment of my intelligence, and more than just knowing
that my intelligence is superior, I know that others must not have been able to
give correct answers to questions I thought most people knew the answers to.
Thus, because I know these answers, I am baffled by the prevalence of those
unable to answer such simple questions, and that gives me the idea that animals,
and some humans may not be intelligent enough to conceive of the idea of a Gd.
However, that is not the only command, as I will show that there are commands
other than faith below.
2. With respect to
popularity and idol worshipping, this is something that Christians do.
Christianity suffers from the belief that Jesus is Gd (heaven forefend that this
is the case, but nonetheless it is the case). These idol worshippers are living
long lives though because outside of idol worship many of them are good people,
and Hashem only knows their heart when He visits them on their death bed, as it
is said, “Gd visits the sick.”
I, myself, feel lucky that Hashem visited
me when I was very sick, and not only that, I got hope that my condition could
improve and it did. I believe Hashem visits the sick because only when one is
so weak and humble is he or she ready to receive the message of the L-rd in its
fullest sense. That is, I would expect most people would take such information
lightly had these visits come during others times.
3. With respect to
intellectuals and the intelligent, and here mainly I am speaking of doctors,
especially those whom are atheists, it only makes sense to me that because they
heal and experiment with their very hands, as if Gd did not exist that they
actually come to believe the existence of Gd is not necessary. This is because
it is said to act as if Gd did not exist when healing, and not to send someone
on their way with only a prayer if at all possible.
So coming back to cats. I like feral cats. I like to
heal, and by their actions feral cats show that they believe in a cruel harsh
existence far different from the well taken care of domestic cat. Don’t get me
wrong, it is not that I don’t like domesticated cats. I hope that there is a
warm and loving home for every domesticated cat, and I own two of them, and
they, these kitties, continue giving and have given so much love. However,
there are many cats out there that only know of a cruel existence, and though
perhaps there is no hope for the adult feral cats, meaning that love can’t
pierce into their hardened hearts, I have hope for feral kittens.
Sometimes a feral kitten can be taken in and shown that
life doesn’t have to be quite so hard. In that way, when cats are able to give
up their predatory diet of blood and guts, in favor of more humanely slaughtered
meat, in fact dry food, as in Leviticus it is a blessing to eat old produce
(Leviticus 26), it is as if they have chosen Hashem’s way, where lovingkindness
is central to the harmony, and foundation of seeing the less cruel side of
nature. That is, we as humans, like cats, especially those who take Torah
seriously are able to live idealistic lives, and it is only because we have
chosen and continue to choose the way of Hashem.
Do cats believe that we are Gods again...I can only ponder
that.
