So last week I watched this movie by Scarlet Johansson
and Morgan Freeman, Lucy. Then during my Philosophy class today I had
this….. Light bulb moment.
Religion. Nature. Science. Supernatural.
I think this by far is the touchiest subject in all
of human history because everyone has their own belief to whatever and
nobody wants to change because that means moving out of your comfort
zone yet there is a certain element of truth behind every theory. I
wish there was a name for those of us who don’t know what to believe
anymore. Everyone has a point, some more than others I agree but it’s
all just confusing. What you grow up believing was true all your life
was really just what the society around you believed so you conformed
to it. Then you grow up and start to question what you ‘know’ as
the truth because you get exposed to ‘other truths’ then you just
feel like you’ll take a couple of tequila shots to let it all sink
in first before you begin to process.
Some believe in “existence before essence” and
others “essence before existence” which basically brings us down
to the famous argument -chicken before egg or egg before chicken *another
shot* God before man or man before God? And man before God in the sense
that God is a creation of man’s imagination or man’s need to fill
a void which I think is also what we’re taught to believe. What if
there really is no void to fill? Then there is no need to fill something
that’s not there in the first place, right? But at the same time,
supernatural does exist. I believe in magic and black magic too because
we are spirits so obviously there’s something greater going on somewhere
in the spiritual world.
Right??
Are we spirits really? Or is that just another thing
humans made up coz bodies were too mainstream? Maybe I’m just over
thinking everything that I’ve been brought up believing and knowing
as right and wrong because who really is the judge? Who was the initiator
of right and wrong? God? Man? Is right or wrong relative or standard?
Are there basic laws of nature that we should all live by like don’t
kill or don’t steal? And is it wrong to steal because we’ve been
brought up over generations knowing that it was wrong? What if the first
person who was stolen from didn’t see it as ‘wrong’, would we
be stealing all the time believing and knowing that it’s ‘right’?
*another shot*
What is everything we believe in? Who invented man?
Where did everything come from? When will it all end? Does it even have
an end? What is end in the first place? Maybe end is beginning of something
else you know? Life is so damn weird! And this brain in all its capacity
somehow can’t seem to fathom all that is around us, what was and what
is to come. Maybe the world or human race as we know it isn’t ready
yet to take in all that information and knowledge. We’re already harmful
as we are with using less than 10% I don’t know what we’d do with
even 50% maybe we’d discover other crazy dimensions and ways to get
there, maybe we’ll get to understand and meet God, maybe we’ll get
to be God. Who knows really?
Sometimes I think, this might sound mean, but I think
shallow minded people have it really easy in life. They don’t have
to be so weird with all these weird thoughts about life and existence.
Because the more we want to know, the more we don’t know, it’s like
an endless pit of curiosity that just swallows you up. The need to know
and understand and decipher everything and anything around us. It’s
like a disease.
One day I might get at least one answer to these
endless questions. But who really has the answer. Man? God? Nature?
Science? Or should we just keep on guessing?
And yeah, the title has absolutely nothing to do
with the subject and I’m not entitled to explain why :)

ReplyDeleteThinking about it, the world is full of beliefs and theories that are impossible (if I may say) to tell if they really exist or they are just made up by man centuries ago.
