Chicken or the Egg.

Chicken or the egg? It’s a classic conundrum. Whichever answer you choose—whether the chicken came first or the egg—rests on an assumption. So, let me pose another question: did God come first, or the human being? Before you answer, consider this: in today’s world, assumptions won’t suffice. Someone will always dispute them. Instead of assuming, let’s focus on what’s truly significant.

Imagine a chicken laying an egg every day. It’s evident that the chicken is the more productive of the two, as an egg can only hatch one or, at most, two chickens. Therefore, logically speaking, the chicken holds greater importance.

Now, let’s apply this logic to humans. Like chickens, if we reproduce, our population grows. We, too, are essential because we’re all diligently working to fulfill God’s purpose. So, the logical conclusion mirrors that of the chicken. But, hold on—not so fast. While an atheist might readily accept this, I can’t help but feel that attributing everything solely to ourselves is overly simplistic. We depend on a complex system, including the very air we breathe, which we barely comprehend with our limited brainpower. So, who’s truly responsible for what’s happening around us?

If you’re egotistical, you might claim credit for everything. But it’s not that straightforward. Credit should be given where it’s due. Personally, I believe in fairness and giving credit where it’s deserved. Are you fair, or do you claim credit for everything?

Consider someone who is disabled but alive. While it might feel gratifying to achieve grand feats like amassing wealth, gaining fame, or wielding power, have you ever contemplated what happens as age creeps in and steals everything you’ve amassed? Despite our knowledge, we often fail to grasp this reality. We’re conditioned by society, religion, and even our parents to follow certain rules without question. But should we not question the education that leads us to sacrifice our happiness and inner peace?

In the mortal journey of life, one might assume that wealth and health lead to success. However, without happiness, both are meaningless. Just ask someone battling depression about the importance of happiness.

If you’re the one laying the eggs, doing the real work of God, shouldn’t you have the authority of a CEO? Indeed, you should. But the politics ingrained in the education you’ve received may prevent you from attaining that status. It’s up to you to break free from that indoctrination and reclaim your self-esteem to become the CEO of your life. It won’t be easy, but it’s worth the effort.
