# Our belief lies in forcing Others # When I was small, my mother used to take me to the river which is around 19-20 kilometres from our residential area for worship. On the way, we have to cross many other rivers. At first, we used to bathe, and then, join hands and pray. From my childhood to date, that river is the same as it is now, I used to think it was just a river why should I believe it was God. If this river is God, what about those rivers which we had crossed on our way. This is how we transfer our culture and tradition to our succeeding generations. And I know that my parents also didn't ask a question about why don't worship other rivers why this one only? Same way, when we were unaware of God, our parents used to make us to go the temple with them. And again worship there, to some statue. It was not a god it was the fine art of some artist. I don't know why this is going on. Now, I am a father, I have a daughter and I teach my daughter not to worship rather than take them as friends. When I take her to the nearby river, I make her join hands just to greet their friend as we do with our friends. I am never gonna educate her in the name of God. ....... © Lawa1988
