Notes About The Poem

" CREATIVE LOVE " MY PHOTO, ©

My Reply To Friedrich Nietzsche

" There is not enough love and goodness in the world to give any of it away to imaginary beings. " *

 ~ Friedrich Nietzsche, German philosopher, 1844-1900  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



No, dear Friedrich,

God is not an imaginary being 

But
 
The most real of beings to whom all other beings owe 
Their existence.

He is omnipresent and omnipotent and manifests himself in 
Our hearts in the form of love.

Now,

Since love is from God, it follows that love is divine, and as 
Such it is infinite.

As we very well know from mathematics, the infinite divided by any given number gives us infinite 

Thus

Dearest,  Mr. Nietzsche, love remains intact, no matter how many parts 
We cut it into

For that reason, 

You should never worry that there would not be enough love and 
Goodness in the world to go around.

One more thing, my knowledgeable friend: 
Love is never wasted because it comes from God and whatever 
Comes from God, is eternally useful!

* Friedrich Nietzsche, is one of the philosophers that I admired and wanted to write my Ph. D thesis on his philosophy, however, taking into account his views on God and on our religion-an example of which we see in the above quotation - I wrote my thesis on the philosophy of the Greek philosopher, Heraclitus, 544- 480 BC. Paraphrasing, Shakespear's Ceaser I say that: " It is not that I do not love Nietzsche but I love my God more. "

Sotto Poet June 29, 2021 at 6:05 AM Its an been incredible response dear friend Demetrios. You took the time to look at every possible angle of the issue, and you discovered that love is all around us, but we humans fail to recognize the great power of God, our ancestors were punished very quickly and severely for ignoring his influence, and now time is running out, and we need to wake up. Demetrios Trifiatis June 29, 2021 at 8:16 AM Thank you for your enthusiastic comment, my friend, Lasaad. It so kind of you. You see, my friend, when it comes to defend our faith we shouldn't be afraid to stand up to those people, no matter how powerful. Blessings.

Rama Balasubramanian June 29, 2021 at 4:43 AM WoW! A perfect logical reply which cannot be refuted. Your faith and brilliance shines. In ancient Indian scriptures it is stated that we get back what we give many times multiplied. That's why maybe Jesus also said Do unto others as you...... I sent you a soup mail expressing my thanks. Did you read? Demetrios Trifiatis June 29, 2021 at 7:49 AM Thank you for your wonderful comment, dearest, Rama. I appreciate it. Yes, I have read the mail. Thank you. I will reply. Blessings.

Tom Cunningham June 29, 2021 at 4:09 AM A brilliant reply Demetrios, seems he was a bit of a doubting Thomas. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis June 29, 2021 at 6:07 AM A lot of a doubting Thomas my friend. He was a Nihilist having declared that God was dead. Thank you my friend , Tom. Blessings.
