Just a wandering thought ( don't mind me ):
With all that goes around us, do you believe that many others will go to heaven?

Probably not.

Do you see yourself as going to Heaven? Despite all you did (that's wrong) and all you're doing (that's wrong) there is probably some reassurance within you suggesting to you that you're a person of good. But what is that but a feeling? A feeling that has been built upon your acceptance and your concept of social norms. It's not as bad to steal now, to sleep with numerous partners, nor to waste yourself away through drugs. Murder seems to be the only bad deed accounted for still.

I'm Buddhist and have been exposed to less defined rules when compared to many other religions, but the things I have deemed wrong was through thought and reason. With the loss of care in so many areas of life, the idea of respect, for others and self have become lost as well.

We continue to let the feeling convince us of our so-called innocence. We
have guided the foundation of our logic to suit our emotions, but seldomly do we guide our emotions to suit what is logical.
We feel that we are good people, we feel we are special, that we are an exception. Yet when morales demand more of us, we are willing to lower our claim of being different to say that we are like everyone else, that we are only human.

Can you really say the standard of morales in society today has not become dramatically carefree?

We are only as different as we show ourselves to be.

I'm not trying to lecture about being good, but it's one of the examples that shows how our feelings fool us.

On the facts of psychology, everyone has an innate belief that they are an exception and special. But instead or providing proof and truth of that through our actions, we only settle for the feeling and little else.

But is that all there is?! Feelings and nothing else in this world?
Many have concluded themselves to be better than everyone else and carried themselves on that feeling. With everyone having their own opinion, is there any truth to what we feel?

Perhaps. If we should have reason, thought and proof to guide it to such.

A feeling is not truth, it only feels like truth because that is what it is meant to do.


So basically > It is what it is, but it's also what we make it... But it's not everything we make it to be. :P

Emotions convince, but reason and actions is what is required to make it so.

Opinionated Thoughts

There are a lot of things I don't understand. Take love for instance. Why should it be necessary to invest so much effort into spendin enough time talking with each other... Why must it be planned. How can love lack passion? Freedom? It seems to me that these rules exist only to govern those that don't know how to love or more simply put, aren't in love.

If someone were in love they would want to talk to someone every night/day. To see their face and know about their day. But for those who aren't in love, they must be told to do these things. Does that make sense to you?

Or things like not to flirt with another. Those who are in love would have no interest to do so. Those who aren't in love need to be given rules to seem in love.

I just see no point in that.

Then there's the whole mess of being easily disrespected. With strangers, you can tell them off, friends you can confront, but loves? You've let them deep within your world so any act of disrespect is much harder to dismiss. It can't be undone with a couple of words. Instead, it grinds into you so deep that it can easily make you feel worthless. Because it can't be them, you see them in such high esteem, such perfection, so it must be you, not them. Right?

I just don't understand why they call love, love.




My daily rant of annoyances:

You know what I don't think is necessary? You know how after you microwave something, it will beep to notify you that it's done? Okay, that's necessary, but what I get annoyed with is... Say you heard it but you're not ready to get to it yet... It will continue to beep every so often until you are. Why?! It's not like it's going to burn, and it's unlikely to forget that you put something in the microwave. Iron or oven I understand. But why microwave?!

Second complaint.

I wear glasses. Get over it.
You have no idea how many people make comments regarding my wearing glasses. Some will say how good it looks, others will tell me how I'd look better without it and many others will ask why.

I need glasses, my eyes can't tolerate contacts cause it's too dry. Get over it. Is it that big of a deal? Seriously. I see other people wearing glasses, I'm not the first person to do it am I?

Expressive/Reflective

He reminded me of a blossomed flower:

Grown... With it's delicate petals reaching into the air; it's colors, vibrant and bright and it's scent distracting you of your mind's concerns. It was undeniably different than it once was in it's more youthful stages.

But as my senses begin to calm and reality creeps back in, I remember that a flower, no matter how different it appears to be, still shares the same roots as it did with it's younger self. It has not actually changed.

Give me a seed of a dandelion that has grown into a rose and only then, would I define it as having changed.
