Blogchatter A2Z 2022 - Fine Thought Five Liners : Day 18 Religion

 Preamble:  I participated in the A2Z challenge 2021 on the theme "Random Thoughts on Random words" wherein I wrote an article each day on a random subject starting with the specific alphabet . Since it is expected to be more challenging this year as I would be travelling, I have decided to write  everyday short 'Five liners" on similar lines but  with a twist that they would be providing some insight into life in general and the focus would be on  "Fine Thoughts" meaning, no dwelling on negativity or pessimism.  According to  the dictionary, "Fine" means   'Superior',  'high grade choice', 'excellent', or 'admirable:'    

Day 18  Religion   

Underlying principles, the nuts & bolts

of all religions is love and compassion

yet, in the hands of the wrong people - it can spur differences, ego, hatred, violence

Like the knife in the hands of a rowdy is a tool to kill

but the same in the hands of a surgeon, is a tool for healing....
