You know... it's easy to be consumed in the world. We wake up everyday and follow the same routines. Becoming slaves to society. Then we complain about how much we dislike our lives, and wish we could do something to change it. But how many of us really change the things we say we want to, and if we really wanted to change why not just do it. It is as simple as that. Honestly, we decide to go through the things that we go through in order to understand ourselves better. Yet we believe that life is playing some cruel joke on us, or the "devil" is tormenting our helpless, innocent, souls. That we are victims to a greater power, instead of taking responsibility for our own thoughts and actions and controlling our own destiny. If God really wanted us to be perfect, (with all of his infinite power) why wouldn't he just make us perfect. I believe the truth is that for God to understand perfection, "nirvana", the highest truth, love, infinity, limitlessness, he must understand reality, for everything exists in balance. He created reality, where things are tangible, and there are limits such as time, space, matter, and capacity. We are created in a world where we believe in what we see and what is tangible. There really aren't constraints, just the belief of constraints. God lives and experiences through us what it feels like when one set limits for oneself. No one can experience limitlessness without understanding the opposite of having limits. So God is everything... me, you, the air, the sun, the desk, the trashcan, the homeless person on the street, george bush. In order to know all you must experience all, and that is God.
I believe that there is no excuse to be limited besides ones own decision to have limits. Granted, I do believe that there is an enormous amount of ignorance and some people are so blinded by day to day life to think individually (as they are meant to). Manmade religion, and laws, and other peoples perception of what's right and wrong are what we allow to dictate our morality, forgetting to create personal morality. And it's probably neccessary for religion and laws to exist to keep some kind of order in this chaotic world, and just another way to experiece limits of ones ability to think for oneself. I believe we follow these religions and laws as truth because it's easier. It's much easier to follow than think individually. It's much easier to not plague our minds with such deep thoughts that do nothing but lead back to the same outcome... everything is relative. We control our destiny, our life, our salvation, our minds, what is right and what is wrong is really an individual thought. There is not truth to what is right or wrong... it's all relative to ones destiny. What is right for one person may not be right for someone else becuase we all have different purposes and paths to follow. It takes good to understand bad. It takes pain to understand and appreciate bliss. It takes poverty to appreiciate wealth. For instance... somone who has always been absurdly rich does not understand the true meaning of their wealth until it has been taken from them, for how could one experiencing a constant state understand what they have if they have never not had it. To them it is just a constant part of life. If someone is rich (according to society's standards of wealth) their entire life they will never trully undertand how wealthy they are because their concept of struggling could be only having a million dollars instead of 50 million dollars. Sorry for the long explanation, just trying to get my point across.
Anyways... my point is we choose the lives that we live. No one is a victim. We can all choose to be "happy". Those who live their lives feeling sorry for themselves choose to be sad, unaccomplished, and content in their sorrow. To some, living a destitute life is their destiny, and their soul chooses to experience life this way maybe to appreciate in their next life what true bliss is. Which leads me to believe that one cannot experience all of what they should experience in one life... so reincarnation must exist, but that is another tangent i refuse to embark upon right now lol .... ps- I could have gone on forever but I wanted to keep it reasonable lol.

we are geniuses and thats all there is to it.
i love you.
thanks for being who you are: it makes me a better person.
well, where do i begin...my mind is all over the place so it was really hard to concentrate on the writing,im still in weekend mode and im watching my 2 younger cousins. but i agree, its easy to place the blame on bad luck, coincidence, fate, God or past occurrences. Some people do fall victim to their surroundings and its unfortunate but they say only the strong survive...strong, not being measured by physical strength or being able to fight 10 people at the same time, but being strong willed and being empowered by lifes daily doses of 'misfortune' which is dished out to each and every one of us. i can understand how this blog could be long, it would take hours to try and collectively write down your take on life and why things happen the way they do...we're all philosophers, we all have our own thoughts on the truth and principles of just being. yeah? i think so :)
