ultimately, as the fruit fly is to us, we are to G-d

Oh?

How many fruitflies have you created? How many fruitflies have you created from nothing?

Enlightened fruit flies see me as a "loving and personal human" who can hear and answer all of the fruit fly prayers in the world....Wait a second...I need to send another banana to Equador...And a rotten apple to a trash can in Amsterdam....Wow...Am I ever busy!!!

I am in no way suggesting that I possess the power of G-d to create anything, the only power I have to do so is the power that he has given me to have children, and try and mold my tiny little corner of the world. Without him, I am nothing, that is not to say that without me, the fruit fly is nothing. I'm merely trying to use my limited human brain power to try and comprehend things. Just as the fruit fly cannot possibly comprehend it's own existence within the scheme of things, neither can man possibly comprehend his place within the kingdom of G-d. No matter how much he tries, ultimately, we are given only that knowledge from G-d that he sees fit, and nothing more. I suppose that is where we reach that point that spiritual enlightenment is all we have left. Remember, we are incapable of using our brains to their fullest extent. We cannot possibly comprehend the scope of the universe, nor the scope of G-d's kingdom. Is it possible that G-d has given us a simplistic interpretation within the Bible that we as mere humans can all understand, when in fact, the meaning of the Bible is actually very very much more? Absolutely. G-d bless you all.
