Jesus

Jesus, a man today is his birthday, he is one of the most famous men to truly live on this earth and now is followed by millions all over the world.

"Here is a man who was born in an obscure village, the Child of a peasant woman. He worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty, and then for three years He was an itinerant preacher. He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where He was born. He never did one of the things that usually accompany greatness. He had no credentials but Himself. He had nothing to do with this world except the naked power of His Divine manhood. While still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a Cross between two thieves. His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth while He was dying—and that was His coat. When He was dead He was taken down and laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend. Such was His human life—He rises from the dead. Nineteen wide centuries have come and gone and today He is the Centerpiece of the human race and the Leader of the column of progress. I am within the mark when I say that all the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever were built, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that One Solitary Life." --James C. Hefley

Alright so first off I had a poll and people voted on if they thought Jesus Christ was real or not. Now even though only 11 people voted I still consider that to be a lot. And they said that yes Jesus was real. Which I can safely say

Yes

He was real, indefinitely a real man! There is certainly a lot of books and stories about him. He seems real enough. Every Sunday people go to church to worship him. And they pray to him and talk about him. They eat to him and honor his birth and death.

Sounds like a real fascinating man eh?

I sure as hell think so.

Look! if we are still talking about him today than he must have done something right, am I right? he made miracles which cured and saved so many people! He died one of the most horrible death's imaginable and then came back to life! 0_o Not even Buddha or Moses or Muhammad could do THAT. There can only be one explanation, Jesus went to Hogwarts. Lol just kidding. But in all seriousness perhaps he was using the power of God or a higher being.

That's what a lot believe in. And there is nothing wrong with that! In fact I applaud it, it is very rare to find a true christian these days. H.G Wells said "I am an historian, I am not a believer, but I must confess as a historian that this penniless preacher from Nazareth is irrevocably the very center of history. Jesus Christ is easily the most dominant figure in all history."
Agreed but not in a negative term. I wasn't sure what he meant by dominant, it could be taken into positive and negative terms. I'm assuming it's positive.

And now for my theory

Jesus was human, but he had such an understanding of his surroundings at such an early age he had the power to harness all life (the force), and use his power to create everything good. He took what he was raised from and made it grow in the hearts of hundreds, then thousands, then hundreds of thousands. Until he got too powerful and then was forced to succumb to the true evil and pathetic forces of human nature, greed. Judas, the Jews, Pontius Pilate, there is no one specific person to blame. Jesus had ultimate knowledge and knew what was going to happen to him. He died and then rose again. We cannot call that a man, he was an enlightened being, or an angel, or a prophet of divine wisdom, or a sage, or a super genius, even a Buddha! It doesn't matter if we call him lord our saviour or some guy, his message of peace and prosperity is the most important thing of all. And through this world of hate and violence, his word is one of the only words I can trust. Thank you Jesus for helping me and millions like me see a pure path and pure way through life. There are many people who believe in him who take everything so literally and there are people who think the whole thing is a crock, so what? don't assure yourself with them. They can do what they want. If YOU think they are wrong, so be it. Don't try and tell them what to believe.

But now, we look on to this great man's birthday his coming onto this earth and see, what?

Gifts,
Toys,
All sorts of joy out of material goods.
trees,
lights,

the list goes on

A warped view on something that isn't what it seems

but all I can say is thank you

Thank you for reading this

Thank you for taking the time to see my point of view

Thank you for understanding

Thank you for caring

Thank you for being my friend

and most of all,
Thank you for being in my life

Merry Christmas

Happy Holidays

Primordial Sin

Alright so here I am about to discuss to you how people are sheep and followers of the primordial sin, primordial means: existing first: existing at the beginning of time or of the development of something. Ever since the beginning of time we have urged ourselves to take on motions of power & greed. It has been brought before me that every man and woman that walks on this earth is either a controller or a follower. People who are born into royal, rich, strong, important and respected families become successful. People who aren't are more likely to become laymen. It's seems quite unfortunate that we have class systems and are then sent to war and die for a country that may hate them.

Perhaps I this may not be a valid point but I say bluntly that we as people are generally bad. Without proper judgement we act as barbaric animals. Perhaps we do actually need a controller & leader to guide us because they might just be the only ones to whip us into line.

With a right winged point of view on general leadership, it seems like a great thing to have! But certain actions are to be needed in order to maintain such a strong hearted leadership.

First off, great leaders have to put away all personal matters and work for their people and their people only

Secondly, No one can be perfect. Everyone will have their own bias and their own opinion on everything.

Thirdly Everyone complains about everything and nobody is truly happy and no matter what you do someone will get pissed off.

The only thing that matters as a leader will be your actions John Quincy Adams the sixth president of the United States once said "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader." I think it speaks for itself.

Next lets look at the Leftist side

With left wingers you have leadership as some king of popularity thing. Leftists always want whats best for the world yet are totally oblivious with everything going on.

The good thing is that Leftists are charismatic. They aren't stupid and don't take things literally all the time.

Leftism is usually for the young and strong headed. Leaders in liberal ways have a whole lot of potential they usually just come in at a time people don't like them.

Winston Churchill once said If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain. Which is exactly 100% true.

In the above picture one hand is playing a piano and the other is controlling chess pieces with strings. This is an artists conception of Shakespeare's famous quote - "All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages." It is true one man in his time can play many parts, but to be that my friends. You would have to be born into the ranks of privilege and honor.

I'm not saying there cannot be rags to riches. I'm saying people who have more opportunities in life often grasp them and never let go. Those who can't enjoy your strings. For this the earliest sin, our acceptance into what we now live in. A world of freedom & utmost obedience.

Supression, Obsession & Intervention

Alright, it is time to break open the philosophy tombs again and talk about the obvious plague that is haunting our society. No I'm not talking about Right Winged nut jobs, (only kidding) I'm talking about technology. Yes as you can tell things like video games, television & computers have taken over millions of lives and sucked the life right out of every weak minded person that has succumbed to this poison.

Now I've been around the block quite a few times and I've noticed signs of addiction when people play games like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty 4, Age of Conan, Everquest, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Halo 3, Gears of War 2 and many many others. They are designed for the player to accomplish tasks in a certain amount of time. They are also designed to never give a dull moment. Also when your finished that menial task, you get a tiny sense of satisfaction or a reward and then go on playing knowing, that you are better than other people currently playing this game. And then the weak minded are sent into this world and play for hours and hours to get menial tasks done. I remember playing World of Warcraft and it was shocking. My face, glued to the screen. You couldn't get anything done in an hour it had to be two or three or four. In a vicious cycle. People claim that they can quit at any time but it draws them back in. Their "friends" need their help. And the designers show no mercy either. They keep updating the game to make it more challenges and gamers feel compelled to beat them. The definition of Obsession is an "idea or feeling that completely occupies the mind." Or preoccupation. Again mentioning in one of my previous articles. Escape from reality. Perhaps the mind needs these things just to get away. But the addicted gamers would have an excuse. "Well at least I'm not on drugs" or "I can quit at any time" but really, could stuff like this be compared to a drug?

I sure as hell think so. Why wouldn't it? Drugs are used to give happiness and take away pain and perception. To escape and forget all worries. Well wouldn't that be the same with video games? Considering the problems the world is having with these games. I think that proper precautions should be made with the parents before buying games like these. Perhaps, that might seem a bit drastic but look! People like you and me are committing suicide, running away, developing social issues & isolating themselves from their friends and family. It sounds like one hell of a drug doesn't it? The picture above shows a frail kid, curled up in the corner of a wrecked "junkie" house & with virtual reality goggles plugged into an outlet. This is basically stating that In the not so distant future. Kids addiction can be and are the same thing as a drug addiction. The picture shows it damages you physically & mentally.

Carl Gustav Jung a modern era influential thinker and good friend of Sigmund Freud, once said "Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism." This means that basically no matter what kind of addiction it is, it is all bad. Which is totally true! People take these habits in and suppress themselves from the world. Suppression means in psychological terms "avoidance of thoughts and feelings: conscious avoidance or inhibition of memories, desires, or thoughts." Going further into the psychological matter. Everyone can succumb to addiction, not just the weak minded.

I would also like to state that Intervention plays a major if not the most important part of all with addicting situations. Intervention means: "action affecting another's affairs: the act of intervening, especially a deliberate entry into a situation or dispute in order to influence events or prevent undesirable consequences" Once you interfere with something as fragile as someones escapism problem. They could lash out on you or try and further suppress their feelings & become more isolated.

The world is large, 6 billion + people inhabit it and we all have our own individuality. We have our strengths and weaknesses some are stronger, smarter, faster and more physically appealing than others. It doesn't make you a better person. Insecurity is a large factor and when an escapism world where you have the chance to be better at someone else, the strongest, the fastest, & even the richest for only 15$ a month, who wouldn't take that offer?
