Debt is a human construct
My nephew posted: “why do we have to pay to live on a planet we were born on?”
I had to think on this for a bit. Humm, how to respond??? (any avoid the dissertation and AI simplistic explainations).
Each of us should have an answer to this. From the 1st breath one takes at birth, this question is the singular question that requires an answer. Do I owe something for the 1st breath?
Endowed
My answer is that since my 1st breath and every breath since that moment is a gift. Each breath is given without a debt to pay. Thus, I reject the notion that the circumstances of my life lead me to a belief of debt for my providence. Whatever providence has been given too me is freely given out of love. Even in those moments of pain (Proverbs 12:1).
Debt is a human construct. There is no debt in the infinite of God nor in the infinite of our quantum universes. I will not let the circumstances of life obscure the wisdom and beauty of jubilee - restoration, emancipation and forgiveness; for it is the light that bends slowly towards jubilee in the ultimate will of the infinite.
Constants: Providence and Jubilee
Modern society lives on the declarative that we are "endowed with unalienable rights". But in the infinite of God this is not necessarily true. The Wisdom of Job shows the fallacy of this thinking. It is Wisdom itself that teaches us that in the midst of pain and injustice (loss of rights) that providence is a constant.
There is no guarantee of "fairness" in life. But it is the constance of jubilee that we pin our hope on. Whatever be my circumstances - jubilee is coming.
It is the power of love that drives my providence, just as whatever providence I give too my children. For I do not give providence, I give out of love and let the constant of providence do it's mystical work.
I was born free. Free from all the circumstances of my birth. Free from all the future circumstances that will befall me. The world may enmesh itself with its debts and judgements and balancing of accounts. But all of it bows to the constants of providence and jubilee.
