Hi Wind
I am confused about this "worship" thing.  Who taught us to "worship"?  Why?  I'm afraid I don't understand the point of worshipping someone or something. 

One of the meanings in my dictionery of the word worship is - extreme devotion or intense love.  How does one force another to love something or someone?  Love can't be made to happen.  It comes from within.  Extreme love or devotion usually ends up in disaster, because the person who so fixates on another person, usually ends up killing them or causing them harm. I don't know about anyone else, but I think the deepest, most abiding love, is the love of a parent for a child.  The love of a man and a woman for each other is wonderful, but it's easily shaken - witness the number of divorces!! 

Do you see what I'm driving at?  What is the point of chaos?  What is the point of phoney admiration?  Admiration gained on false pretenses?  It doesn't last.  So what's the point of it all?
