Good coffee by the way!
I am not debating about who God is and isn’t. I am not saying that your god is better and or worse than their god. I am saying, “We worship a million gods and those gods are simply looking out for themselves in this universe we call home.”
What I do also say is that, “We have a choice to make and right now our choices are based upon little insignificant gods of very short term and insignificant end results.”
A term “gods” is used in a form of basic deity style thinking…
I look around me at the world:
I watch the bull happening everywhere and I mean everywhere around the world. Yet the brunt of it is related to unabashed materialism immorality. This effect of lack of rules, morality and have it your way or no way has become a nemesis upon the planet…
So many in this day and age seem to be not satisfied with working and creating a nice little world that stops at the borders of their yard. They seem to think and seem to have been hog-washed into thinking that how they look at life should be spread like cow manure all over the place….the stink just permeates everywhere as they spread their weird thoughts and try to shove these thoughts down our throats daily, even hourly, constantly, never ending and do the spreading of crap as if it is the only way to live life…
What happened to staying within your borders? What happened to respecting others space? What happened to morals and decency?
I am not saying that the whole world is f-upped, but I will say that so much turmoil is centered and regulated straight from the materialistic ideology of life. The spread of materialism is like a cancer and we are now seeing that cancer has been sneaking upon the world through various outlets. Outlets such as media, politics and lack of commitment to morals. Morals that define us as humans and not some run amok monkeys in the tree tops…
It is not the first time that humans have gone into the pit of despair and will not be the last time. For it seems that we generally are only able to worship and gather thoughts of little gods and materialism is one of those persistent powerful little gods…
It is simple:
So many humans have so much in material possessions and so many have to struggle day to day….yet even us Americans are just peasants when you look at the obscenely rich, that have so much money and possessions that it is really incomprehensible as to how they obtained such wealth and power…
Say what you want; but that fact that a person can have billions and billions and billions of our worlds assets, while they have billions of people working under them for minuscule assets….seems to be a rigged system at best…
Yet the desire, even for the poorest is to obtain material items…
That is the key that I figured out:
The system is rigged and has been rigged for a very longtime. It was rigged against us from the very beginning, just like when the great kings ruled and or great leaders ruled past countries and empires. Humans dance the same tune every time and a choice few seem to always get on top and garner the assets, as they live in castles and have personal armies to guard the walls of their domains…
I believe that the idea of God and the Devil, good and evil, heaven and hell has been derived from past waves of degradation of societies through material ideologies…
Greed Hate Envy:
So human in its beginnings and so human in its desires…
Yet, materialism is naught but a budding branch of Greed Hate Envy and all are the downfall of us as animals. We are simply glorified animals and nothing more. The experiment of mixing a soul of righteousness with an animal base is a failure. The core basics, God vs Devil, good vs evil, heaven vs hell is and always seems to sway to the dark side….time and time again…
It is who we are and what we desire. Nothing more and nothing less:
This has nothing to do with capitalism, communism, socialism and what-knots. That is all label crap. For nothing that we live and experience is anything but what happens as our soul or whatever is mixed with the ape and or how ever you want to desire us to be as a starting factor, we are incapable of getting free of our basic roots and we always fall back on greed hate envy….good always falters within the shadow what we consider evil…
It makes you stop and understand why the Ten Commandments were written. They are rules, if nothing else to live by and rules that make the world better. Yet they are probably the most broken and degraded rules in mankind’s history…
Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, and sloth:
So few rules, yet so hard to follow. For if we follow these rules of not being and accepting of the seven main sins. Then we cannot not follow our lessor gods and those desires. Such as power, money, control, slavery, desire and a whole bunch more tiny gods that call to us. Many times we are called by one or more of these lessor gods individually and expressively just to entice us personally…
This says it pretty clear…
I am no longer sure of anything. If I satiate my desires, I sin but I deliver myself from them; if I refuse to satisfy them, they infect the whole soul. – Jean-Paul Sartre
So I ask, “Why?”
Why do I want so much and too much? Why did I kill so many in war? Why do I do what I do? Why am I driven to succeed? Why am I lazy? Why do I want money? Why???
Then I ask, “Why do you do it also?”
We live in interesting times. These times are no better and no worse, yet actually we have more than we ever had in our past. Yet, it seems that our accomplishments are much less in comparison to the whole picture of humanity…
The path we have chosen is not the best path to the end results we should desire…
Materialism the god that encompasses all others:
Materialism (a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values.) is not a good religion to practice and materialism infects all other religions equally. No one, no country and no spiritualism is able to escape the materialism god that uses greed, jealousy, envy and such as a bases for its power…
There is a reason for the basic ten commandments, yet those basic reasons are what we strive to ignore all the more. This ignorance of the basics is what brings humans around and around time and time again to the low points that we always seem to destroy ourselves with…
It would be okay to hit bottom: (and we have hit bottom many times in our existence on this planet.)
Yet we never seem to learn from our past and gather the teachings of the excursions as we sail through life upon this wonderful planet and no one, but no one wants to accept that all that is happening is simply our fault….
Not the devil, not God, not sins, not materialism and not a million other things that we worship daily and desire daily…
It always falls back upon us as humans and the inability to get a grasp upon the important things that make life a blessing and whether we are able to discern the difference between wants and needs…
Until we humans are able to stabilize our existence and that means we all have to be on the same page of development. Be that spiritually, financially, mentally and many more such as simply understanding that there is a division between good and bad….we prefer it seems to like to blur the boundary between good and bad as being one in the same…
Harmony of humans will it and or will it never happen?
I have a hard time seeing humans working together. I do marvel at the thought of the fact that if the world was in harmony and all issues prevalent were gathered and solved as one mindset. What we could accomplish and what we could have as a life…
Instead of embracing the miracle that we even exist at all, that existence alone should let us know that if we were able to survive even a minuscule 100,000,000 years by galactic standards, what we could become! For it really is simple; we are so much more than what we accept as our fate in life…
I can dream and wish that we could transcend the bonds destroying our true potential in not just our world, but within our galaxy and within our universe…
We humans are all a miracle, just by the basic fact that we exist….much less accepting the fact that our world is teeming with life of unbelievable complexity and abilities…
“And out of that hopeless attempt has come nearly all that we call human history—money, poverty, ambition, war, prostitution, classes, empires, slavery—the long terrible story of man trying to find something other than God which will make him happy.” ― C.S. Lewis

Humans so disjointed, so fragmented and so aimless…
