Jesus bird?

Alright, let’s move on to the more interesting phenomenon of Jesus walking on water. That, again, is a metaphor to me just as it is a metaphor that Jesus was also said to be able to heal the sick and wounded. And I understand that to mean that he was able to perform miracles because he had faith in them.

In other words, his faith in the goodness of people and the infinite healing powers of Mother Nature, of which human nature is a part, did the healing for him. And he made it happen by passing on his faith to the sick and wounded so that they too had the same faith, and hope for a better future.

If you don’t believe this, try this experiment. Next time you meet a dirty old beggar in the street, offer him a banknote but at the same time look him in the eye and let him see the warmth in your eyes and see for yourself what your act of generosity and kindness does to him.

You’d probably come back and tell me it doesn’t work but that will be because either you did not care to look him directly in the eye, or that there’s no warmth and empathy in your eyes at all.

It was not the case with Jesus of Nazareth. It was not the case with Mother Teresa. And it was not the case with the late Princess Diana who’s still fondly remembered for her singular ability to identify with the underprivileged, the sick and the mimed.

In other words, miracles are bound to happen. They don’t happen more often because there is no-one for them to happen more often with. Just like when philosophers ask: If a tree falls in the forest but there’s nobody to hear it, will it make a sound?
