Hiya!
I had thought I lost this post...Thank God for automatic back up! The moment has passed but the message remains!
Reflect people...reflect.
Over the past few days, there's been a deeper awareness of life's' truths. I've had sudden awakenings, as they say---Staccato---short and sharp, over the last couple of days. I have never in my entire life been able to understand the nature of man and the cruelty of the world. We live each day, learning things we never thought existed...the truth is that they have always been around, it just takes certain situations to unfold such truths.
For in a million years, I'll never know why some strive to be evil and others seek after good. We ask so many questions to answers that probably don't exist...and our ever popular resounding anthem is 'That's life'. Life is not just how people live and what people do, its more to do with our own personal encounters.
On Sunday, I experienced something that made me confirm Gods' existence. Over the past two years, Ive been fed with more fact of Gods inexistence than the weather forecast! ---The Philosophy of Religion. Freud pointed out eccentric reasons to why there is no God.
like seriously, I am the least person you'd expect doubts about God's existence...I was brought up in a christian home, went to Sunday school bla bla bla. However, to be honest the Philosophy of Religion shook me a tad bit...It all falls back to the same topical issue ''The Problem of Evil''. If there is a God, why is there soo much evil? If this 'God' is the God of classical theism,not constraint by space nor time,how do we explain the earthquake in Haiti.
We ask ourselves this questions often.
Its more of a spiritual thing as opposed to philosophy which bases everything on Reasoning and logic.
Ok, I know i deviated a bit, but yh our views on life are very personal. Individual outlooks.
In as much as we live in a bad bad world, we should never conform. That's what sets us aside, makes us different.
There so many things I place importance on...gosh do i love shopping! these things all come to an end, I have realised that although shopping is not a crime, I need to be conscious not to make it rule my life.
"I have seen all the things that are done under the sun,all is vanity,a chasing after the wind": ECCL 1:14
ONE LAST THING: 'With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.'
---Max Ehrmann. (Desiderata)
