Blog - Opinion

The Jacoby Consulting Group Blog

Welcome to the Jacoby Consulting Group blog.
You will immediately notice that this blog covers a wide range of themes - in fact, whatever takes my fancy or whatever I feel strongly about that is current or topical. Although themes may relate to business, corporate or organisational issues (i.e. the core talents of JCG), they also cover issues on which JCG also feels warranted to comment, such as social issues, my books, other peoples' books and so on. You need to know that comments are moderated - not to stifle disagreement - but rather to eliminate obnoxious or incendiary comments. If a reader wishes to pursue any specific theme in more detail, specifically in relation to corporate, business or organisational issues, or in relation to my books, then the reader is invited to send an off-line email with a request. A prompt response is promised. I hope you enjoy this blog - sometimes informed, sometimes amused and sometimes empassioned. Welcome and enjoy.

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time, there was a guy named Peter. He was the sole survivor of a huge accident where 250 people died.

People of Faith approached Peter and said, "God has looked favourably upon you and saved your life. Let's pray to God."

Peter responded, "If God favoured me to save my life, then why did 250 people need to die for me to live?"

The People of Faith answered by saying, "God saw that you had great things to do and give, so your life was worthy."

Peter responded, "There is nothing I can do in my life that justifies the death of those 250 people."

The People of Faith said, "God has his ways and reasons and we are not to question why."

Peter said, "If God could only 'show me the way' and save my life by sacrificing 250 other lives, then God is either unmerciful or God is not omnipotent. Furthermore, if I am to learn a lesson in my life, there is no more worthy lesson than that of mercy, compassion and tolerance. If you claim that God has caused this calamity, then this is a God I can't accept as my own."

[Instead of Peter, read Ahmed, Zvi, Ravi, etc]
