Q. Why did man invent God?
Ans. To get to the other side.
This is perhaps the best joke I have ever heard. If you missed it, "the other side" refers to the “afterlife”.
This joke questions the basic idea of a social life. You can replace the word “God” with anything like Government, System… If we did not invent God, we would not have suffered from another burden. Our ancestors would not have fought by his name. We could have taken some epics as great literature.
Just think about your regular life:
You have been working for a few years. Did you ever ask why you joined a job? I know; you wanted to earn some money. Did you ever ask how much you need to fulfill the cause of joining the job? I know; there is no limit. But did you think about why you need to earn money? I know; you wanted to live a dignified life. But, today are you really living a life? Who is driving your life – you or the job schedule?
You often take a break from work and move out to enjoy a vacation. Think twice about the approach – your job is still a priority. You want a break from your job. You never said that you need to live a life.
Your workplace is developing into a life. Is it possible?
We developed a system to work to earn food. Now the system is moving us. How many years are left in your life?
I am yet to see someone who is living to live. Everyone is living to die.
Why did we develop countries or boundaries; to fight or to conquer? Someday, we had the whole world as our mother land. So what are we really fighting for?
I am yet to do any justice to the joke. I will appreciate your thoughts.
BTW, do not forget to read the fun part:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
