Angels and devils are a matter of perception; humans are a matter of reality. Actually it is only humans who can either take the form of angels or the form of devils, depending upon their action, and intentions.

Many people keep searching for heaven. There was a time when the Church was supposed to have a monopoly power of providing the ticket to heaven. But today none of us care about going to heaven, or even if we do, we are far more bothered to make our life better in this world.

Religious perceptions sometimes get distorted by the lack of our understanding of the real message and our stupidity of getting caught in the literary sense of the phrases. After all, the words only mean so much, and so little! The laws that we ourselves make need to be interpreted and re-interpreted time and again by our own courts. How efficiently do you think we would be able to understand the message of the son of god delivered in a somewhat coded language thousands of years ago!

Thus it is no surprise, that instead of realizing that angels are also people in flesh and blood, we imagine that they have wings, and supernatural powers by which they can live for eternity, do not suffer from hunger of emotions, and are messengers of god.

Actually the angels are just what we think they are !

They do not have wings, but they fly by virtue of their success in conquering their own human weaknesses of greed, violence and selfishness.

They live for eternity, because they are remembered by people for their noble deeds and for their contribution to our overall happiness.

They do not suffer from hunger and emotions because they have developed a self-control most of us lack. They can be unaffected by what would be torture to most of us because of their strong will power and goodwill.

And they are messengers of god, because god never created any angels, only humans who had the qualities we assign to angels.

These angels are definitely among us, only they are as human as the rest of us!

They are good and great humans and not angels! There no angles. All the time we were searching for those angels, we were actually wasting it in looking for someone that did not exist, and all this while we ignored our own angels!
