my friend blogged this on myspace and i wanted to get other peoples' opinions...


An AFC is someone who's just another person. A person with fears, favorites, tears, complaints, and dramatizations. Someone who just complains and says what things should be and don't take any risks on changing what they want changed and hesitate say what they're afraid to say.
A lyric from the song "Strawberry Fields Forever" by the Beatles written by John Lennon goes, "Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields. Nothing is real." I've thought about that and I've come to realize that it's true. Nothing is real. Not the computer your at or the words you're reading. Not your mother, or your father. Your emotions, your feelings, your brain, everyone you love and everyone you hate and everything you buy, beg, borrow, or steal is not nor has it been or shall ever be... real.
It's all based on facts, they say, and proven scientific theories. But those theories arent real. You can't..

"Vain wisdom and false philosophers all, they watch the rising water and see sand, but you know that long is the way and hard the road that leads to light, dark with excessive bright, and how can you find out what is enough until you do too much?"

Is that irony... or is it like a "coming full circle" type thing?

Either way, I've always thought it had some sort of deeper meaning... or maybe I should stop thinking so hard about trash bags.

and that oftentimes you can't tell people, whether it's your family or friends , because they will try to talk you out of it while in reality you know it's what you should and in the end it will probably only help.

If you atheists think you're so smart, than why would you think there is an answer to the big bang? The big bang created the universe, which you are in and can't escape. There is basically no explanation to it so just drop it!

It's easy to get caught up in pessimism and undoubtedly some things will be bad in the future. But what are some positive aspects of our future here on the planet? What would you like to live longer in able to see happen? What do we have to look forward to?

What sublte sounds that are far away can you hear? What are your feelings with hearing nothing at all? Does your thoughts seem to resist the noise? Let them resist and just listen as if nothing matters because noting doesn't matter but existing in the here and now.

Life is a miracle and is the consequence of both randomness and evolution. God is nothing because he/she/ it never was created in the first place.
