If the Mountain won't come to you ...

          

       What would you do if the Mountain won’t come to you? 

Will you like Mohammad go to the Mountain? Or like most everybody else, would you tell the Mountain He can go “F” Himself and then carry on doing what you have been doing.

    

       Guess in most relationships there is a natural tendency to NOT make the first move. Waiting for the other to initiate the first act is and has always been the usual characteristics of people. For whatever its worth we will always not want to seem too eager or interested to renew, or start any relationship, be it with long lost friends and or families. Even with the simple and so convenient E-mailing we have at our convenience, we are rather hesitant to go to our friends and relatives. 

    

       You may call it a reluctance to intrude into somebody else’s status quo. I would call it plain disinterest to reacquaint. I would even call it a false arrogance of misplaced egotism.

If a person were a friend in the true spirit of friendship it IS ridiculous to wait for the other.

In other words, it is plain unfriendly to wait for the Mountain to come to you. 

     In certain cultures, elder clansmen generally do not condescend (note - "descend") to initiate contact with lower ranked clan persons.

Similarly in many uniformed groups as well as corporations, institutions etc. it is a norm the high-ups seldom if at all 'slum' with the rank & file.

Sadly we have this inherent sense of heightened self-worth which makes us reluctant to stoop, to even be perceived as having lowered our self (over) esteem especially by making the first move to those 'less worthy' beings.

           In the same line of thought, should the Maker of all these that we have here; everything that makes Life itself possible and good, were to take the same high ground and standing on protocol (or whatever you like to call it), refuses to initiate contact, we would still be unsaved, unloved and unredeemed.   

  

      Christ would not have come. (some indeed believe the Savior has still not come).

Thus if the Mountain won’t come to you, I urge you, please ...... Go to the Mountain! 

You lose nothing.
