... living in the sky. Who watches everything you do

he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire
and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever,
and suffer, and suffer, and burn, and scream,
until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you.
He loves you and he needs money.

but never even in their dreams thinking of dominating,
thinking of enslaving the other person.
- Osho (Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh)
Life is a continuity always and always.

they want to find someone to be "responsible" for what happened.

Important ideas can come from unexpected places.
We tend to label people - Genius, Idiot,

merely because we respect that person's
other ideas or accomplishments.
