Comments for Mir Moiz's Weblog http://mirmoiz.wordpress.com Life is meaningful, only when one wishes to make it. We are creatures of time and we'll wither away in it. The little moments of joy we find and create are all that will live with us.

One such expectation is to expect to recieve something in return for something given either in the same fashion or a specified time. One very good observation of this is in the book of Job and the debates Job has with those around him concerning his condition and apparent absense of God. He had done nothing wrong, yet everything wrong had been done to him. He never cursed God as Satan claimed he would, yet those closest to Job judge, criticized and caused him more grief. This experience helped to cut through the malformed expecations of the friends and even help reveal to Job just how limited he was in view of God and all of creation. We may not understand or even be able to accept all that happens because its not what we expect in living a life with God. This is especially true when we hear of or encounter senseless wrongs in the world. One of the things we can learn from Job's experience is that we should call out to God whether our expectations have or haven't been met, and be prepared for Him to answer so that we may have further understanding of how God's will works.

Interesting thoughts. If morality would have been an objective entity, we could have made a lot of use of your pointers mentioned here.

But morality is subjective and sometimes changes with demographics.

And when we get to implement ‘applied Morality’ in a local area, the NGOs and human rights people come singing (or should I say wailing)!
