The Truth Is Out There

"They are dead. You can't fix anything. I can't fix it. Lives and things are different and I am not a god. Their life has ended, and they are never coming back. I know they were just here. I can't bring them back, but I can help you make a grave for them. Everything that lives has to die. That is the nature of the world. When their body returns to the soil, flowers will be nourished and bloom. A soul impacts other souls and lives on in other hearts. Everything in this world flows, circulates. That goes for human lives as well. Even for someone like me who has come to know so much of the subject; it is difficult to make a child understand the actual nature of death."

This is yet another aspect of life that is not only hard to explain to children, but adults too. We have a tendency to be scared of things we do not know and of change. That is what death is. It is a change and an unknown experience that we can not say we have been through.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power. Perhaps that is why "tradition" keeps the majority of people believing in religion as a way to "cope" with death. How can you be scared of death if when you die you go to a "utopia"? It sure would be easier to believe this and "follow tradition" then to think otherwise.

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people. This is why you must discover what you feel to be true. Develop your beliefs and your viewpoints that you want in life.

Let talk about beliefs for a second. The whole idea of belief bears a residue of doubt. Knowing, on the other hand, leaves no trace of skepticism. The act of knowing means total certainty. Complete conviction. Yet, there are something’s that we can not prove without a doubt one way or another to be true or false. Keep this in mind when you have developed your own views and beliefs, and when you are analyzing others views and beliefs.

I want to end this post with a short description of what I feel is "detrimental" to our society.

Is there really hope in any society that defines sanity as: heart attacks, panic attacks, ozone cracks, homicide, genocide, suicide, airline crashes, stock market crashes, ethnic clashes, high school shootings, religious feuding, recession, depression, therapy sessions, family welfare, chemical warfare, claustrophobia, xenophobia, unemployment, missile deployments, persecution, executions, political payoffs, massive layoffs, tabloids, steroids, illness, loneliness, earthquakes, poisoned lakes, disease, drug addiction, and death.
