Paradise Here

by Jan Goopta

Overview

Paradise is right here on this Earth. Money has made us insecure, greedy and selfish. It has put such traits into us that are not natural to humans. Our greatest asset is our conscience which directs us to be humane and therefore anything that goes against it is not our natural self. When we are not our natural self, we lose sight of Paradise. This book does not pontificate, but points out the various problems we are facing, some of them we have been criticizing for long and know them very well, but there are many other aspects which are not so apparent which have been pointed out in the book. Some people are fighting, what they choose to call a religious war. Our systems do not allow us to be truly religious. Their war should be directed against the systems that deprive us of our freedom to worship in the manner we desire. If the systems are changed, there would be no need for any war. Merely pointing out a problem is of no use. This book leads us to a way we can solve all our problems without even breaking our step. It is meant to be read by as many people as possible and a tome has little chance of being read. It has therefore been made very small, but with well reasoned statements. The goal is Paradise and such a big goal needs all our patience and dedication

About the Author

The writer is a retired businessman who came up the hard way. A time came when all the pent up feelings found a practical way to resolve things which had troubled him as though an inner voice gave instructions as to what was to be done. The result is this intentionally small book. He felt that democracy is the best way to govern us but its shortcomings are a great source of our worries. Resolution of problems by reasonable arguments seem to fail and the ever present greed appears to be perpetually present in all aspects of life. He felt that it is unjust to allow people to go hungry and there was an urgent need to cut the shackles that bind us and to be truly able to hold our heads high. Wars, we know, have not improved our situations and have only brought sorrow and destruction and yet we continue to build killing equipment as though they would bring us peace and happiness. In spite of all the goodness of all religions which we have been following for thousands of years, our divisive ways keep on multiplying. He felt that there has to be a break somewhere otherwise situations are going to make us so very individualistic that we will become truly lonely in a crowded world. The dangers we are facing from climate change, possibilities of a 3rd world war, financial conditions where we live on loans, all gave an impetus to the writing of this book. The writer feels that this is possibly the only solution we have.

Breaking away from something is never easy. The writer, a firm believer in God, also believes in the goodness of his creations including mankind. He feels that circumstances will one day make us take a better road to our happiness. This road has perhaps been laid out in this book.
