novelty.

as human beings,
we nvr fail to yearn for more.
we nvr fail to desire for something new.
we nvr fail to wish for another wish..

there is always a need for change,
to keep us motivated and excited for each day.
fatigue and bore set in,
when the constant suddenly look mundane..

was it the constant that changed,
or us that changed?
if it was the former,
the whole line would be an oxymoron, isn't it?

so that scales down to us,
being the 'constant' variable..
did we choose to be inconsistent,
or are we wired to keep changing?

i believe God knew we were 'near-sighted',
God knew our attention span can nvr exceed a day.
and being the loving Father He is,
He made novelty, a pleasure.

just like how He knew eating was a need to us,
He made eating enjoyable.
just like how He knew sex was an intimate form of one-ness,
He made sex a pleasure too.

but being greedy human beings,
our ways have since perversed the pure intention of God!
how audacious we are,
to claim that "God made us desire novelty anyways."!

for food was a pleasure,
gluttony wasn't intended by God!
can we indulge in binging and at the same time say "God allows."?
what temerity!

for sex was a sacred union between MARRIED couples,
pornography and masturbation wasn't intended by God!
can we indulge in those perversion
and defend our folly by saying it was God who made me dis way?

the world we're living in today,
haf strayed so far away from God.
so much so that wif our intellect and affluence,
we try to oust God and protest FOR His cruxificion again!

back to the point of novelty,
and God's intention for it.
i wouldn't know for sure what was God's idea
for the good He saw in novelty.

but as i've mentioned above,
i do know what is obviously NOT from God.
we don't need a priest or a reverend to tell us,
that perversion itself is a disgrace to God..

but i thank God for 'hints' He dropped
in the very nature of this world.
these seemingly untouched creations,
that men had not or could not distort.

an example of the balance of novelty and consistency.
a rhythm..
how beautiful isn't it?
such great wisdom envisaged.

a rhythm we all know,
is the essence of any forms of music!
sounds without rhythms,
are just noises.

the consistency of rhythm is incontrovertible.
and the change that we human beings desire,
and the change that God graciously pardoned,
is the tempo that varies btw the verses and choruses.

a rhythm keeps the beat in check throughout,
at the same time allows variations to 'enhance' the music.
such profanity,
such beauty in music!

another congruent example would be,
our heartbeat.
it beats fast and slow,
but it is ever constant at the same time.

it doesn't beat 2 beats in a sec,
and 3 beats in the next sec.
even if there were changes,
it is and will be gradual..

these are changes which hinted that God
being a reasonable and just God,
allowed such novelty in our lives.
to maybe make things more enjoyable in life.

but we as human beings,
tend to twist His intentions around,
and turn the tables to our favour.
dis isn't the way to say 'thank You..'

Lord, i thank You for dis sounding reminder.
Father, purify our hearts, minds and souls.
may our ways be pleasing unto You!
may our ways be in tandem wif Yours!
