This is a more non-pointed rant, then a informative piece that I believe all should be able to see.
I think fast, always have. So scenarios of my actions can be build and the following possible reactions.
Last night I was caught on a kid that sits in the back of my History class. Devote Christian and a Right Wing Republican. During one of the classes we were discussing that Democrats and Republicans disagree on certain topics. One student said that abortion was an example, and the Christian Republican that he was grumbled loudly about how horrid it was to kill children.
I few mind boggling scenarios later and I was thinking about how I would discuss to him the loss of my sister. She was a 29 Devote Catholic, she taught Sunday school growing up, she always pushed people to their potentials. She died of a blood clot, and she still keeps me going and fighting to be the best that I can. I am pretty certain that she had a relation outside of wedlock, but I do not think that, that one event dictates that she will spend the rest of eternity in Hell.
Then I thought a abstract, at best, thought: If the world were to live 100% to the student in the back of the classes ideals. With everyone agreeing, I see that the world is more likely to suffer wars. One factor is that, if the world were to be ruled by his ideals, then I would have no rules or guidelines on how I would deal with the death of my sister, that is a rare case. Even if he was a man of 110 years of age, he can not practically be able to write a standard for which all could live their lives.
Another factor, say that he thought people had the right to own property. The right to own property instills greed into even the most honest of souls. People would fight for land, whenever two civilizations reached a point where they needed more resources then they had.
I see a person that is locked into one way of thinking, as someone that is lagging culturally. I want to be able to look at the kid in the back of the class and just yell at him, "I hope for your sake that you open your mind before someone with ill intent gets to you."
What I would ask of you as a human: When someone does something to you that hurts you in someway or angers you, I want you too look at actions that you have done and find when you have done something similar to someone else. I you find that you hurt more people then you would like, it may be time to start rethinking how you go about things.
Happy New Year!!
throwing change to see what happens.
