The dice of God are always loaded.

The dice of God are always loaded is an interesting quote by Emerson. It is a topic with a broad meaning, opinions and interpretations. It may have a spiritual meaning, a mythical meaning or a philosophical sense.

In a spiritual sense, God is a literal figure that you should respect and worship. God controls everything. You should know and accept his divine blessings as you go about your daily lives. There is no rebelling God’s mighty and power. In a mythical sense, God is a figure of speech, a reminder to keep everyone holy and in good terms. It’s the belief that if you get out of place, God the almighty will smite you; therefore everyone obeys the law set forth by God and society functions. The logical way to look at the quote is seeing the quote as a proverb. To interpreted it philosophically you would assumed that the powerless suffers’ because the rich and powerful control everything. Fighting the system is illogical because the outcome is that the weak lose. As an African proverb says; when two elephants fight who suffers? The right answer would be the ground; in this analogy, the ground is the weak and the elephant is God. All its implying philosophically is if you are low on the totem pole, the weak will suffer as the structure cannot be demolish.

To conclude, one can say that this quote by Emerson is a brilliant way to look at multiple meanings through one magnifying glass. It is not one simple quote, because as you look deeper, you can find different meanings.
