Seek what you wish from God, not from men.
Be satisfied in joy; there is honor therein.
On friends and relatives be not a burden.
Rich is he who hopes from God, not from men.
-Al-Ghazzali, "Ihya Ulum Id-Din"

Since I'm 100% sure that human beings exist, my money's on them.

Since when did God ever feed even one of the hundreds of millions of people that starve across this planet every day? God is a lie that Man has outgrown.

Well, if what we "need" is, for example, lunch, I wouldn't bet on the old Creator coming through. Man, on the other hand, provides for his fellow man a variety of restaurants, delis and hot dog stands.

Depends on what you need. If you need to be a child forever, than god is you best bet.
If you need freedom, and the things adults enjoy, you trade with other adults.
It is a secret society that you have to earn you way into, we don't roll out the red carpet to children.

Believe everything is connected and whatever you desire or wish is already here. So if you have to cross a river to get to it, then cross the river. Need to swim, but can't, build a boat; don't know how; ask someone! It is, "all about you!"

Well, of the two, seeking it from man is considerably more reliable. But what about seeking within yourself?

We should look within ourselves for what we need. We're the only person we know who will always be around.

We naturally seek what we think we want from other people- it's natural. You naturally seek what you had as a child- if you were abandoned you seek abandoners and if you feel that you were loved unconditionally you seek that.
