Things that are on my mind [1]

By Risen Glory · Jul 17, 2008 · ·
  1. I'm really questioning life.

    No, I'm not depressed; quite the opposite, really. I'm just thinking. A hell lot.

    If one actually takes a few minutes to ponder about our existence, it doesn't take long to realize that... our lives... are, frankly, worth nothing. Even the great philosophers and thinkers of the past mean nothing nowadays. Great, we have a few morally good people and the rest don't give a damned.

    The point of the matter is, we as humans only live to spread and multiply. "You are a virus," Agent Smith said.

    Many people don't realize that one more human on earth equals a hundred less animals on earth. We don't care about the space we occupy because we believe the space is ours. We don't care about the animals who lived in our space prior to our existence, because we believe the whole planet is ours.

    Here's a quote from Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn.
    Everywhere there are species of animals dying because we don't care. In Ishmael, it says that we humans are in a war with our planet. The objective of the war... is to defeat our planet, make it ours, and finally take control of everything on it.
    In The Giver, civilization has finally manipulated everything possible on earth. Weather, something responsible by a higher entity, color, a normal and essential characteristic of anyone, and emotions are all finally mastered.
    Mouse says in The Matrix.


    It is not global warming we have to worry about that might bring the destruction of the world; it's whether enough humans realize that the earth should not be controlled by humans, and instead, let the earth control us.
    Remember, the earth does not need humans. But we need the earth.

    Dude, what's up with the self hate. We are destroyers, it is in our nature. When we out live or purpose, nature will be rid of us. It is that inevitable. We can do nothing to stop it. When all things come full circle, nature will restore itself without us, either way. In 10,000 years there will be no trace of this race.
  2. Risen Glory
    Yes... but what is the point of furthering our destruction? Are we that hopeless or are we simply not trying hard enough?

    Also. You're saying we should do whatever we want for the hell of it, because nature will redeem itself, 10000 years or so later? That's sick, man. You lead an amoral life, if that's how you perceive our existence.

    Our lives are frankly nothing, purposeless, meaningless, either way. Our lives, actions, words, ephemeral. What is the difference between our good intentions and horrid actions if in the grand scheme of infinity we are a meaningless flicker of light? Who or what do we have to answer to if nature eventually judge’s us extinct either way.

    Then you are lost.

    Why are you on this forum? Why are you walking about, going to school, eating? If life is so meaningless why do these things? Is it, going back to my main point, because you don't care?

    I'll tell you the difference between good intentions and bad. Good is when you do the right thing even if there might not be a reward later. Bad is when you don't give a damned and you want to do whatever you want.

    So, when you say that there is no difference between good or bad, I suppose you wouldn't care if someone killed your parents, because, you know, there is no difference between good and bad. Yes, you're lost.

    I think the world - and this blog - needs more love. And I think you two should give each other a cyber-hug. I promise you'll feel better afterward. =)

    Actually I was looking for something else, but I'll settle for a hug. The main reason that I ask this question was research. I have a character that has this conversation with one of my main characters. And yeah, this character has an "amoral life".

    This has been very interesting. Thanks. Sorry if I seem a little... offensive or brash.

    SETTLE for a hug? Psh. ;)

    Hehe, sorry for saying you're lost. Directions to Morality is straight, and straight. You'll know when you get there. :)

    *gives cyber-hug* .. (then cyber punch)
    ;) just kidding. Thanks for posting on my blog.

    Good news, Sam. The Bible has just the answer you're looking for.
    Ecclesiastes 12:13 says: "When all has been heard, the conclusion of the matter is this: obey God and keep His commands, for that is all there is to being human."
    That's all there is to life - but life isn't meaningless at all. On the contrary, a solitary life can change the world.
