WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT

If you take God and the Devil out of the equation than your just left with good and bad. Good and bad remain irrespective of God and the Devils influence. The church tries to rely on our fear and encourage people with the promise that if your not being good to others you will be dammed to hell and unless you are good you will not be rewarded with your afterlife in heaven. Whether or not the church's view is right or wrong the lessons of compassion it tries to teach should be enough for us to understand and follow its examples on how to be a good person. I believe that we all should live by one main rule, "treat people as you want to be treated" and if you can't do that honestly you are an example of someone who is being selfish. This doesn't have to result in you being punished with the threat that you are going to hell but should have a positive result that gives a person the opportunity to correct  there attitude malfunction otherwise their bad attitude will highlight if they are posing as friend but their attitudes shows that they're foes. Eventually people will be treated in the same way once they are conditioned with the same treatment their giving with a lesson that teaches us by reforming us into equals and better people. We can only hope for a better mankind. Unless men and women aren't kind at all, then there is no hope for even the hopeful.

DOESN'T STICK, THEN REVIEW

It is said by many that knowledge is power, but unless you can make use of that knowledge then its just a waste of brain space. We strive to take in all the knowledge we can because we believe that it will empower us to reach what we crave in life, but is memorising facts enough to help us propel to greater heights. Understanding how to comprehend that information and use it in real life situations is the key to happiness which will also help you in connecting with people. Without the ability to connect with people all the information you have memorised only hinders your attempts to relate with the common person. How you feel is now ignored and pushed aside because all your useless facts that you have memorised has flooded and taken over your sincerity to feel. Facts now are in charge of your heart which leaves know room for compassion and courtesy . Pumping out facts like an emotionless robot, with only one thing on your mind "LOOK AT ME AND WHAT I KNOW ?". All the knowledge in the world can not help you build a respectful relationship with the ones you care about. If connecting with people is not your main goal, then you may want to review what is important to you. Without the love of family and friends in our life what else could take precedent. If we are here just to improve the quality of our own life then what hope does society have. If the fact is that the power of knowledge can not be used for the better of man kind, we as humans may as well as forget that the word human derives from the word humane.

BIG HEADS GET DEFLATED

Talking yourself up when your in a conversation with people seems to have the same results. Whether your talking with a friend or foe it doesn't take long before someone wants to knock you off your pedestal. A lot of people don't like the idea of someone having that much confidence in themselves because it seems to create a negative impact on the people that surround them. Their initial reaction can be construed as jealousy because they are comparing your comments to their own perspective of life, rather than individual point of views and the result of that is that their not happy to see someone who is happy with what they believe is right. This is also because they themselves feel that you've overpowered their own confidence. If you don't want to bump heads your better off speaking with those who aren't in a battle of who's right and who's wrong, but are who comfortable having a healthy discussion. Those who treat you with discontent should only receive your outer soul, not your core.

FAITH NO MORE

Religion is a funny thing their seems to be exceptions made in most religions. Loyal followers change the rules depending on their level of belief. Whether your an avid believer your disciplines vary depending on your emotional attachment. Is it wrong for one religion to have followers with multiple degrees of perspectives ? If perspectives are our version of truth than what makes it wrong if our opinions vary on our own interpretations of religion. Some followers will strictly believe if your not following the words preached to you than your not showing blind faith to your religion which is a slap in the face to the religion . If our faith shows us that you must be rigid in your life's view to satisfy the rules of your religion, than is their any room for individuality. Is their something wrong with following the main rule treat others how you yourself want to be treated ? Our main focus should be on are we happy, not how can we be happy if we don't follow what we told we should follow to have a so called enriched life. Peace starts in the mind, you have to be happy with who you are and not with what people are saying you should be, to be more religious. Good will is not just found in religion it is also found in mutual respect of all religions. So if you preach it you better believe it, otherwise hypocrites don't have many loyal followers.

IN GOD WE TRUST

Are we so naive that we think that if we pray hard enough that God will consider our requests?. Why do a lot us think Gods plan can change for us because of our own mighty ideas that we have for our life ?. What we know of life is not enough to enlighten God in what we hope should be our purpose in life. In all Gods wisdom what hope do we have trying to make a supporting case for our request. This is why we pray, it is because we recognise our inability to change our fate. Are we so arrogant to believe that our purpose in life should be reconsidered because we not ready for the end. If we don't  give our full trust and faith how can we believe that our life is in Gods hands. Praying is the only hope that we are left with, it shows that we are at the mercy of God and our will most probably is not ready to face the end. Is it our mercy that is shown to us if our desires are met or was it always part of the grand plan. Human nature fools us to believe that what we hope will happen only if we just believe passionately enough. Could our life experiences just be a test for our next chapter. All that is for sure is what ever will be will be, so their is no need to dwell on what is and just accept what has to be.

KIND HEART OR BLIND HEART

It is hard when your emotions get in the way of a logic mind, where your senses are dulled by your feelings. Filling your heart with only feelings of sincerity can sometimes block your mind from the harsh truth that the ones that are close to you a prone to hurt you more because the more you care, the more vulnerable you are. So should you be more critical of the the ones you love? because you usually give them your all. Some people would rather hide their feelings from others because the chance of getting hurt is higher and too much for them to bare. A life where you only show others your strong points doesn't allow for you to take bold stances and keeps you in the shadows of doubt. If you don't allow yourself to be comfortable in the real world than your just surviving and not living. So be brave and be yourself because those who don't like you all the time, they are the ones that would limit their own views on life. Allowing yourself to see people for all that they are and accept their idiosyncrasies shows less prejudice than blinding yourself from the truth.

ITS NOT IN MY FAVOUR

Favour's seemed to have lost their true meaning. It is now common practice that before someone says yes to a favour that they have to tick the box's to make sure that saying yes wont really inconvenience them. In the past a favour would leave a positive impact on the person receiving the favour because they knew someone was going out of there your way to convenience them. Now if it doesn't convenience them, the answer is next time is better for me. A favour should stand proud on a pedestal, to show that you give respect to whatever is being asked of you. Showing appreciation has now changed because when you've been asked for a favour it may now come with attached guilt that you have to wear if you've given the power of approval to someone that you need a little assistance from. So swallow your dignity or don't expect help when your in a jam but remember what goes around comes around and how your treated governs your own choices. To the unwilling, don't fool yourself the power you have been given is temporary and will leave the moment you take given power for granted and abuse it. What's good for the goose is also good for the gander and having that ammo in reserve will always mean that they will lose the argument in the end because it is hard to argue with logic. So choose your words carefully and play by the rules and you will receive the equal respect that everybody craves and deserves.
