Someth js occured 2 me while watching
Yakitate Japan ep 23-24... re-watching rahter...
its the ep where Azuma, the baking prodigy
explains hw his Japan (Pan=Bread in japanese) No.44,
while being such a delicious bread tt it occasionally
sends ppl who eat it to heaven for a temporary visit,
still causes those who eat it everday 2 get sien of it...
ie - his family, who positively rcvd it but grew tired ofit
when he continued makin the same Japan44...
Anyway - wt it reminded me of was abt the Bible- specifically,
the hebrews exodus - they were given manna fr heaven
by God for their food.. - manna is described as a sweet, honey
flavoured flaky bread ... well, the hebrews loved it at first,
but after eating ONLY tt for quite a while, they complained -
n then God gave them quails to makan as well...
OK now heres the thing - they were reprimanded 4 complaining
tt manna wuz the onli thing 2 eat. Nw this is tricky...
while indeed complaining wuz wrong, esp hw the bible often depicts
the hebrews as reali this unthankful, complaining bunch...
esp given their conditions... Yet... wt i hv a bone to pick with iis
a God, the creator surely knew of human's desire for variety..
altho i spose onli a buffet menu tt changes every mth would
be enuff 2 nt incite a complaint...
Wt i thot of is hw nature is so full of variety.. u noe those sci. stats
hw many species e.g.e.g in the thousands or wat...
Anyway - the God who created the various plants n animals for
human consumption - why would he onli provide one manna 4 the
hebrews? theres a certain inconsistency here isnt there?
i guess we got 2 hv been there 2 reali noe - its maybe HOW they said it
- "damn sien onli got manna 2 eat"
or "sigh its gettin borin this manna"...
or "ta ma de stupid God give us onli this thing... he so powerful surely
can give XYZ"
well. tts it
