At What Point?
As life goes on, there are many “At what points.” A few examples of this are “At what point will you get it through your head?” “At what point will you take responsibility for your own actions?” So on and so forth. Now there are a couple that I want to look at, (1) At what point did people start believing people formed from crystals, mud or space rather than God? And (2) At what point did people become so narsisistic and caught up in themselves rather than society?
Now going to the first question. Scientists are starting to think that there is no possible way that humanity could possibly be intelligently designed. They are starting to say that people could have piggybacked crystals and slowly evolved. They think that we could have evolved from monkeys and even mud. Now does that sound more logical than the possibility of being intelligently designed? No, they sound even more ludacris. Now some people can’t believe in something unless (1) It’s something completly logical and can be proven or (2) They can see, touch, or hear it. But for some other people they have faith in the unknown. They have faith that everything might not be able to be proven; they have faith in the unknown. Now throughout the Bible (This is gonna be my example) there are rules which to some people ward them off right away. But hear me out. But with the rules there are many benefits. Such as eternal life, protection and guidance. Now you can believe me or not. I do say to you this though. If you can find a better deal than God’s then I say you should tell me and we will go. But I don’t think you could find a better deal than eternal life, walking on streets of gold, having all your possible questions answered, and for what. Following a couple rules that most of society follows even though they are Gods. They follow them because they have decency and respect. And the only thing you gotta do is live and believe. I’m not gonna spend all day on this so moving on.
As for my second question. People are becoming more selfish, more impersonal with everyone else. As much as people don’t want others in their business, most people do want people to be there for them, to support them and to talk to. But people at the same time keep pushing people away unless they want something. Even myself struggle with this. I don’t want all my friends and parents in my business all the time but I do want to talk to them about stuff going on in my life sometimes. Now I’m going to give a example that people are less worried about other REAL PEOPLE vs. SMALL PROBLEMS. Suppose someone is driving down a street. Now there is a person broken down on the side of a road who looks like they needs help but doesn’t ask. Now do you stop and ask if they need help or keep driving? Most people would keep driving. Why? Maybe they don’t really need it, maybe they do, maybe they look different, maybe it’s because you don’t know them, maybe you’re just too busy and don’t care. So now you’re still driving down that street. You see a stray dog with tags. Now do you stop and help? Most people would. More people will help that stray dog than a real person who needs help. But if you were on the other side. You needed the help. Wouldn’t you want people to stop and ask if you need help. For the few people who have been on that side and gotten help well that was your lucky day. Maybe there wasn’t any stray dogs who needed saving. Either way. People are more obsessed with their money, their problems, as if they are more important than everyone else. Now this may offend some of you so don’t take it so personally. No one is above anyone. That hobo in the box or dumpster diving is still on the same playing field as Bill Gates in God’s eyes. He still has feelings and problems. Everyone does. But what if everyone just cleaned their doorsteps vs. trying to get others to clean theirs? Wouldn’t the world be a cleaner place overall? Heck yes it would. So next time God places a opportunity in front of you will you take it. Will you slow down and take the time. Or will your own self image and your problems overcome and you keep going looking at everyone else like they are the “different” ones?
PEOPLE THE QUESTION IS SIMPLE:
“AT WHAT POINT DO WE PUT ASIDE OUR DIFFERENCES AND BECOME ONE WITH EACH OTHER?”

First of all, that’s a topic i’d roll around in but would get tired of the contingent mess.
The question you question ( haha) can be easily intepreted, as I will generalize here. We put aside our differences when we need someone–we can’t become one with each other unless both sides want to or feel like they could and should. Eventually everyone is different and they each have their own independent spirit. it is when we want something more than what we have–that is when we lose our selfish conditions. If we look back at the start of the Industrial Revolution we can trace similarities to how it is now except that we, the people of the 21st century, have grown numb to just about everything, even the idea of love.
Now faithwise, seriously. I mean seriously. Science is science; it is not the other “emotional workings of religion”. You cannot cut and paste what is from Genesis, stating that ” earth was created in a week or so” and make it reasonable; but if you as an individual find it as a root to your means of existence, then believe–that is why you are alive because you have a choice.
Reason is the language that is derieved from the Enlightenment ( the search for truth, palpable and concrete-ness); it was a revolution against the nonsensicality of the disillusion. REALITY! as the grandness himself, Lewis Black exclaimed.
So. Here I am with my first comment. I do agree with everything you said. And in my mind it makes perfect sense. I assume that you are a person that does get the point of what I’m trying to say. So I’m gonna ask a question. Do you have any more “topics” you think that I should write about?
Ummm. That depends on your thought process and what you feel like should be asked.
I for one do not have answers, just mere opinions. Whenever it is right nor wrong won’t mean anything because I am a small speck ( sniff sniff, admiting that sucks…it does little for your ego :P)
and the universe can move along with or without me.
The means of accepting such values of true can be difficult–when you have that need to justify your existence is hard. fairy tales, video games ( seriously), and the pleasures ( rococo, baroque art and stuff like that) are all ways of letting go reality.
heres a food for thought: What do you think humans are, in the end–selfish or pure? And why do you think so?
Let me just say, “WOW.” Dude you have a very tranquile outlook. I would say in the end people in general are more selfish. People tend to help themselves more than they help others. Most people only help others if they need something from them. A way to benefit themselves. Even I have struggled with this. I try and not be a hipocrite and I try to help people whenever I can.
