Greener Grass

The grass is actually greener when one looks at it from an angle, say about 10 meters distant and over the split rail fence separating my yard from my neighbors. This is all to the good. It is also important, not to say synchronistic. For the Decalogue mentioneth not that I might not covet my neighbor's grass, nor the greenness thereof. Thus, we see that the nastiest critics of Islam are those born to the religion. The worst critics of Christianity are those kids who were brought up in it. The crabbiest Buddhists are in Nepal where they went to government schools and had Dharma beaten into them. We who are born into a religion know intimately its dark side. We know where all the religious skeletons are buried. We know where the salami is, where the fan is, and when to have said salami hit said fan. I shall only say that the grass is greener for grass. God cannot be seen through the same eyes that you use to build the world, just as God cannot be praised by the same mouth you use to speak and curse. All life experiences God. This is a real mitzvah!
