underwhelmed

echo: in response to a comment you made below, a week ago.... i think god does love all his people, but the depravity of man is to blame for the pictures you have posted. is it god who controls the rebels that stops the aid sent to third world countries meant to fend off starvation and disease? is it god who gives ideas to world leaders of enacting mass genocide on a people because of their skin color/ sects of religion? is it god who abuses the child, rapes the woman, robs the store, or murders the stranger? no, this is man. god loves us in that he has provided all the things we need to have a good life here on this earth... gods love is truly realized in man's abitlity to choose... right from wrong, or to love him or not. he is not to blame for man's wrong choices. we all have a law written within our hearts. a law of right and wrong, good and evil. we all do not have our "own" truths, there is universal truth. otherwise, if my truth were right for me, then would it be okay for me to rape your twelve year old daughter? would hitler have been right for his crimes against humanity? he certainly felt he was doing the right thing.... and lastly, the one thing that seperates us from animals is guilt. where does guilt come from if there is no right or wrong? if there is no god? think about it, if there was not greed among the top elite and corruption in governments, nor selfishness among people...and we lived in a perfect world where everyone tried to help his neighbor, and countries helped other countries, do you think that we would have the problems that we have in the world today? doesn't it sound like then this would be a perfect world? that is the way god intended for us to live, and he has provided the means necessary to achieve this. man's choice however, is as i said, to blame.....

i'm beginning to think more and more that television and media related to large business, money and powerful people, along with the public school system in this country, is ultimately aiding in easily grouping people, and also ingraining certain behaviors or reactions, or ways of displaying emotions, into people, right from the start of a child's development, so that it makes the groups of people easier to profile and classify, this could all lead to a point where it becomes very easy to detect, focus on and single out people by anyone in power for any purposes or agendas. (patterns) however it seems very easy to be conscience of the idea, but the majority of people remain distracted or will dismiss the idea, and the ease of being conscience may lessen over time as anyone not considering these thoughts reproduce and continue to be put through the most common processes in this country, which have been made blander and blander in my opinion.. to a point where it becomes easily managable to detect and single out individuals who do have the thoughts i just mentioned. and the way things work makes it difficult for a lot of people to even allow time or effort to go into considering such things, because of other distractions that are all part of everyones lives, not just entertainment/tv, but hardships, health (Stemming from diets or lifestyle), low wages / jobs, inflation, "black and white" arguments or politics, etc.. all of which is further sensationalized by the most easiest accessible (and commonly accepted) news sources, where opinions blur into facts and balance or fairness are simple definitions and catchphrases that, in the viewer's heads, ring in upon experiences and lessons from public school, history told as undeniable fact, etc... rambling...
