On Life

Life cannot be comprehended except in retrospect. So, by the time one can understand death, one is already dead. By the time any understanding of being is established one has been a while. It is then a time of seeing oneself trying to grasp something too large to hold - something unreal that is defined as reality.

Reality is:

A pointless state of existence in circumstances over which there is only a pitifully small amount of control but most often none at all i.e. why, when, and where you were born and raised. Who your parents are/are not.

Emotion is:

An established reaction to a stimulus. Emotional response is a generally established reaction to a stimulus. Emotional response is generally or specifically (not in all cases) insignificant in retrospect. The greater the distance of retrospect the more insignificant distance of retrospect becomes the more insignificant emotions become. Emotional expression is limited by man's selfish ignorance and laziness. Man has not developed an external vent that can envelope the self-significant extent of a given emotion. What this means is that there is no method created by man throughout his evolutional development that describe an emotion vividly.

Opinionated facts: pictures are too general; words are too few and inadequate; music is too refined; gestures are often misunderstood and for the inexpressive introvert there is less than even these few, poor tools to convey their feelings.

God is:

An irrational rationalization for all this. Remaining a bastion of hope there is a need for God. God is the epitome of the understanding desired. An all knowing, all powerful, understanding, guiding, compassionate, o soomnipotent existence so powerful that he cannot be understood. Without God man stands weak, defenseless, and alone. God is the only confidence we may have, all trust in secrecy, all faith to continue existence, all hope for bettering things. God understands without an explanation. Isn't that convenient? God is convenient. God has all understanding of anything with more retrospect than can be conceived. "The Lord works in mysterious ways" - This phrase means: if one prays to God and does not get what is prayed for there is a reason for things turning out the way they did. That reason may never be reasoned out, there may not be a reason at all. At this point one must realize there is only a pitfully small amount of control in any circumstance

"God helps those who help themselves" is basically a phrase used for self-motivation (low-level assertiveness training) or impaired confidence. Attempts to change circumstances provokes reaction (positive and/or negative) at the hands of an all powerful God. Faith in God is said to have positive results. God is a part of a person mostly in the self-concious need of self-worth. To believe in God is to believe in a supernatural extension of oneself. If an individual was to believe he/she was being helped by outside forces (supernatural no less) his/her confidence in increased greatly. This in turn may possibly add a confident appearance and provoke positive results immediately or shortly after. When one does not "help himself" the opportunity may be lost because on opportunity may be lost because one did not have motivation or confidence to begin with. Any significant cause is likely to have similar effects, but if performance is based on another cause and the results are negative no one is to blame but oneself. Man has a tendency to shift the blame. Do it in the name of God who can be blamed and will not argue or forsake. Faith in God is faith in oneself. With defeat there are broken spirits with God and oneself. Self esteem may be lower and also general performance may be lower because of low self esteem. Belief in God (if retained) can keep confidence high, keeping people aware that things can and will get better. Believe there is a lesson to be learned in loss. God's individual concern with every individual that ever existed gives self-worth that is necessary to succeed, gives a reason to exist, gives hope in death, an actual feeling that we can signifcantly change the outcome of existing circumstance. God gives a will and an excuse to exist. (There is no other way to explain why we exist.)

Existance is:

A feeling of being, and not being able to prove you don't or that anyone else did or will ever (a contradiction).

Dead is:

a questionable state of being or not being.

I am:

an emotional existance living in reality but in the process of changing that questionable state of being or not being. rationally "I doubt therefore I think. I think therefore I am." If any or all of this contradicts your personal beliefs keep it to yourself. I apologize, I am only trying to explain why I probably exist to myself.

A paradox:

if all this were true it wouldn't make a difference
if all of this was wrong it wouldn't make a difference
and I could prove right now that you had never read this...
it wouldn't make a difference, because you think you did.

Sanity is:
