وليس التوحيد مجرد إقرار العبد بإنه لا خالق إلًا الله وان الله رب كل شئ ومليكه, كما كان عبًاد الأصنام مقرين بذلك وهم مشركون, بل التوحيد يتضمن من محبة الله والخضوع له والذل له, وكمان الإنقياد لطاعته وإخلاص العبادة له وإرادة وجهه الاعلى بجميع الأقوال والأعمال والمنع والعطاء والحب والبغض, وهو واحد سبحانه في ألوهيته. فلا يستحق العبادة إلًا هو ولا يجوز التوجه بخوف أو رجاء إلا إليه, لا خشية إلا منه, ولا ذل إلا إليه, ولا طمع إلا في رحمته, ولا اعتماد إلا عليه ولا انقياد إلا لحكمه. ↗

The speech fascinated him. His ear caught the rhythm of it and he noted their idioms and worked some of them into his patter. He had found the reason behind the peculiar, drawling language of the old carny hands—it was a composite of all the sprawling regions of the country. A language which sounded Southern to Southerners, Western to Westerners. It was the talk of the soil and its drawl covered the agility of the brains that poured it out. It was a soothing, illiterate, earthy language. ↗

This is where you first failed us. You gave us minds and told us not to think. You gave us curiosity and put a booby-trapped tree right in front of us. You gave us sex and told us not to do it. You played three-card monte with our souls from day one, and when we couldn't find the queen, you sent us to Hell to be tortured for eternity. That was your great plan for humanity? All you gave us here was daisies and fairy tales and you acted like that was enough. How were we supposed to resist evil when you didn't even tell us about it? ↗

Your pain is not prescribed by your creator, He is the healer thus not giver of misery. We are victims of others; lay the blame where it belongs. Mankind is responsible for its environment and culture, the earth was in its purest form when Adam arrived (blessing on our first prophet) Culture created by man for power. The day we take responsibility for our actions, will be the day God walks through the door smiling ↗

There is only one salvation for you: take yourself up, and make yourself responsible for all the sins of men. For indeed it is so, my friend, and the moment you make yourself sincerely responsible for everything and everyone, you will see at once that it is really so, that it is you who are guilty on behalf of all and for all. Whereas by shifting your own laziness and powerlessness onto others, you will end by sharing in Satan's pride and murmuring against God. The Brothers Karamazov Book VI - The Russian Monk, Chapter 3 - Conversations and Exhortations of Father Zosima. ↗

But the widespread existence of bias, misinformation and lack of knowledge (…) militate against the effectiveness of dialogue, (…) by the most subtle and one of the most effective of instruments, the subconscious, almost the subliminal, introduction of hostility. ↗
