Master Of Our Own Destinies

We are our own gods and master of our own destinies. We chose what type of person we want to be. There is no one on the Earth that can solve your problems but you. Ultimately, the key to your life, your soul, and your existence is in your own mind and you just need to unlock it. You cannot unlock this potential by meditation or taking drugs and alcohol, Praying to God or gods will do you no good either as you don’t believe in them. You cannot petition the lords with prayer. The unlocking of your mind will come when you least expect it. When you are not thinking about it, when you are quiet and peaceful, it will come like bright light shining on your life when you thought you saw clear before, now you will see with a clarity that will be amazing.

The Concept of Wanting Things

I think that the want of things is a matter of nurture over nature. However, I believe the tendency for one to be more inclined to want more than others. Example, a child whose parents deny or limit in the extreme basic needs may cause a child to grow up with a greater desire to WANT more in order to compensate for what they lacked as a child. Conversely, a child may grow up the feelings of entitlement and believe that the world owes them more.In both cases I blame the parents for not moderating their child’s psychology. Culture is also a motivating force. Growing up around people who always strive for more than they need will also cause this sense of need. I would blame religion but it is really a lack of ethics and that may or may not be a failing with religion but more of a sense of a lack of identity and self esteem of the greedy person.

Since before the beginning of civilization, man has been trying to understand the world around him. He writes books like ‘The Bible,’ ‘The Epic of Gilgamesh,’ and ‘The Egyptian Book of the Dead’ and other philosophical or religious thoughts on the matter will continue to try to answer these questions.Humans will always look to the heavens for an answer. Why the human race continues to look toward a divine being that we can petition with our prayers and offerings, is because we seek to have some control over our fates. If those prayers or offerings are refused, (we can tell because our petitions go unheeded) we rationalize that perhaps our god (Jehovah, El, Elohim, Zeus, Apollo, Athena, Jupiter, Krishna) or the being currently in charge like an emperor, king, or president) doesn’t believe we, humankind, are worthy of survival, Now we are left with the question we started with — why? Why was this flood inflicted upon us. Is God mad at us because of our beliefs, our actions, our hypocrisy? It doesn’t matter, humans are flawed, and no matter what we do, think, or say, it is not going to change the fact that the universe works in mysterious ways, and we humans are just small specks of stardust in the cosmos and the divine behind it all doesn’t take sides, but, just shakes his head and continues on doing whatever divine beings do.

Theocracy

I am not willing to be ruled by a theocracy, whether it be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, or Satanic. Have we not seen what history has taught us about how this leads to corruption. As we also recall from history, the Mormons or Latter Day Saints went west and established themselves in the Utah territory. They wanted their own state, and of course, they wanted their own state religion. Unwilling to allow this new religious movement to have things their own way, the government sent in federal troops. History has taught us that, although a truly free country must have some sense of a founding set of principles, however, being free means that we must not allow our religious prejudices to overtake the common good of the secular government. Beware of fanatics of any kind.

Some Thoughts On Life

I have ever since I was in my preteens. wondered about purpose, and meaning of life, death and immortality. This is what I found; Life is not worth living unless one lives life to its full extent. Who determines a life’s full extent? You do. You decide who and what you want out of life and what you want to be. It is all up to you. You ask, does life have a meaning. It does to me. I created my meaning of life, for me and my family. I created my world where I am the master of my domain. Was it easy, hell no, it wasn’t but it made me who I am. Was it worth it, hell yes, to look into the eyes of my children and realize that their love for me and all that I have taught them. Yes. I struggled to find meaning in life and didn’t realize I had found it all along. It was always there, I just had to notice it.
