[edit] Part One
"Why do you suffer all these cruel and unclean things?" asked Peter.
"You don't like it?" said the Lord God, without any sign either of apology or explanation.
"No," said Peter.
"Then change it." said the Lord God.
"But how are we to change it?"
"If you have no will to change it, you have no right to criticize it," said the Lord God,leaning back with the weariness of one who had to argue with each generation from Job onwards - precisely the same arguments.
-H.G.Wells' dialogue between Peter and God.
[edit] A prophet is always ahead of his time
Opinions of our Jungle's Great Leader are many. Usually, they are a curiously alternating vocabulary of praise and criticism. As his talents and gifts are many and unusual, so are some of his defects. They tell on the way small ppl view him when in their different moods. When ppl are angry, they forget his merits, and when they are happy, they ignore his faults. He then becomes the only barrier between order and chaos. He's glorified to a point where it is said that since God has forgotten to endow the jungle-Island-country with any natural resources, he redressed the over-sight by giving the great Lion to our Country.
Some are caught in the moral dilemma because as they condemn of some of his shortcomings they cannot easily overlook his outstanding contributions to their material well being. He has not been a mindless despot like some of the 3rd jungle world leaders.
Some, however are thankful they are, still find it hard to morally excuse him for treating his political opponents with an almost neurotic disapproval and condemnation. He is accused of binding everyone to his system while he himself stays out of it. Isn't that god-likeness? got see dubya"not playing God?"
Even the Godless think he play God. However, they do not say whether God is a dictator! Will he be chuffed by his admirers’ adulations? Will he be stung like Prometheus by the diatribes [[1]] of his critics? On the other hand, does he have his hopes pinned on history 's final judgments?
A prophet, it is said, cannot be instantly analysed. More to the point, a prophet is said to be always ahead of his time. This Lion have great foresight, mind you!
