Nobody really understands
It is twenty seventeen and we in the
United States have elected our forty fifth president, a New York
business man named Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump did not win the
popular vote but he did win the electoral vote which is not uncommon
but what is uncommon is his stance on political matters. You see he
may have the best intentions in the sense of being patriotic to the
united state and I hope with everything in me he is, but he take's a
hard line stance on issues, issues of which he has very little
political training in. most believe that with the right people in
your staff the lack of political knowledge can be offset but only
time will tell.
But one thing is certain, sometimes it
is not wise to always go around waiving a big stick, after all isn't
that what politics is all about diplomacy before aggression. At the
rate we are moving now there is sure to be some catastrophic event
that will shake the planet, or destroy it. On my home I heard that
“dooms day clock” that scientist have used in the “cold war”
day has take a thirty second movement forward and it's not not just
the nuclear situation, climate change, technology and biotechnology
advances and worry about their use's, all these thing could get out
of control at anytime without the right control's.
So as I listened to the radio while the
three commentator's eluded to the question of, when the time comes,
do you want to live forever or when it's over it's over and wow! Did
that open the door for a different train of thought. First, the young
lady said, “my grandmother is ninety six and all she doe's is sit
in her chair, eat ice cream, all her friends are gone and she is all
alone”.yeah when it's time to go I just want to go. Then one guys
say, Well I think that there is life after death so yeah I chose
infinity, I want to live forever for my kids sake but the girl tells
him well then you will see them grow old and die and how would that
make you feel? He couldn't answer her. The third guy was trying to
make some sensible answer but all he came up with was that he wasn't
sure about life after death but if there was what would it be like?
We used to say, nobody has ever come back to tell us what over there.
But in these days and times of documentation of near death
experiences, science, investigations maybe, just maybe there is.
I think they were missing the point
just looking at it from a two dimension stand point, life, then death
but there are many beliefs that say when we expire in this corporeal
sense our soul's and spirit live on. Personally I think that it is
not if we will continue to exist but where we will exist. In a place
that may not be pleasant or some place that can be compared to
paradise, who knows? But down deep inside I think most people feel
this. After all religion must serve some other purpose than just
tradition, more than another form of control for men over other men.
Think of a blind person. They don't have the use of a major sense
that is needed to function but yet thru study and training they learn
to use their remaing senses to compensate for their loss. Just
because you can't see it doe's not mean it doesn't exist.
I think life is a test to see where we
will end up in eternity and also to cause us to grow and reveal our
true natures to our self. There is to much balance and cemetery in
creation for all this to an accident, it just don't make sense,
somebody's got to be at the wheel, there has to be some entity at the
center. But I know many will argue the opposite and that's OK because
in the end “all that a man achieves and all that he fails to
achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts”, As a man
thinketh James Allen. Also I found this passage in the King James
bible that says in “Proverbs 15;24 The way of life winds upward for
the wise, that he may turn away from hell below.
In closing let me leave you with this
thought from James Allen, “men are anxious to improve their
circumstances but unwilling to improve themselves”.
