Life
Alright, you knew this one would come sooner or later. I just got done writing this before and some error erased all that i had to write before i could save it, so im starting over. What kinda of philisophical section would this be without the mentioning of life.I want this to define exactly what life is, what it should be, and what it means. Im going to take my time on this, maybe a day or two, because i want it to be one of the best entries ive written so far. So what exactly is life? It raises so many questions. And the sadness is that they cannot even be answered. Why are we put here if eventually were are gonna die? So many questions are raised and the only thing we can do is possibly theorize them. I dont understand why the best ones in our life, the ones we truly love are the ones to go first. Did you ever stop to think they were the lucky ones? Maybe a higher force, not necessarilly God,  but some higher force has let them leave this shithole we call Earth. Possibly they have left us to go to a place where homocide does not exist, where racism does not exist, where none of the bullshit on Earth exists because it cannot. I do not even picture Heaven as a place where the souls of are bodies go. This is how i see heaven, and you do not have to agree with this. Heaven is a state of mind, an emotion conveyed when the spirit has left the body. It is much like Happiness, but something far more better than extreme happiness, or ecstasy, it is Heaven. There are too many conflicts that arise when trying to breakdown what happens at the end of life. Religion as well plays a large conflict and dismisses any scientifical explanation for the biggining of life. Or for instance i dont beleive in your spirit rising into Heaven, but i do beleive in the state of Heaven. Perhaps im right on the button with my philosophy or completly off track. Maybe there actually is a Heaven and Purgatory where Spirits walk and reside in an afterlife. Or perhaps we are reincarnated as another living thing. I personally do not beleive in reincarnation and im not even sure why. The whole idea sounds silly and impossible to me, but then again so does "the state of heaven". What makes the theory of reincarnation any more crazy than the theory of your soul lifting off into heaven. By now you probably think im crazy, but thats ok ill save that for a later entry. It seems in life we are set here for a purpose. A poor persons purpose is to be poor and beg, a murderers purpose is to kill and run, a prostitutes purpose is to sell her body and get slapped around by her pimp. Even a purpose so small as mine, to go to school and skate, is a reason for being here. But can we change this purpose? Are we set upon this earth with a set track of whats going to happen in life? A track of events that, no matter what we do to try to change it, it is set for us to do things. Better explained as "things happen for a reason". I think we all follow our lives by this, and its called fate. I beleive things happen for a reason. I beleive that my grandfather sacaraficed his life with lung cancer to teach an experienced lesson to his daughters and grandkids that if you smoke youre going to end up like him. Even the roads we choose to drive down or the streets we choose to walk are chosen for us. But the bigger question is by whom? Is there a force, not neccesarily a man, but something of a higher power that placed us here and chooses our fate? And for that matter then there must be an opposite evil, or "the devil" as we call him who controls the evil factor in our lives. It sounds quite silly and strange if you take it and break it down like i have. It sounds like something straight out of a comic book, higher forces, good versus evil. I think that more than half the people on this Earth today do not even realize how lucky they are to be alive and breathing. Many are challeneged with cancer, AIDS, and other misfortunes that would give anything for the reassurance that they had a few more years on their time and that they could live a care free life. Its incredible how many people cannot stop for a second and appreciate what they have. Right now i sit here and i have a fairly new computer, a skateboard to my left side, a television to my far left, leftover food on the table and a fucking roof over my head, and sometimes i do not understand how lucky i really am in this life. Homeless people would be scrambling for the scraps of food left on my table.Say there really is a man who we worship and has higher power, a power greater than anything we can ever imagine. Why does he left the starving starve? And furthermore why does he continue to let the haters hate. I suppose without a little drama in this life it could become quite boring, but theres alot of drama that needs to stop. I mentioned early in this entry that i would try to explain how life should be led. Well, racism, killing, abuse, all those things are obviously the way life shouldnt be led, and its because of these type of people that life is degraded. I give props to the philanthropists, and good samaritans out there who help out the ones in need. These people are doing things that i dont even do but i probably should. The chance to change somebodys circumstance is the way life should be led. And if you dont, its going to come back to you, karma style. Life to me is a gift. Although to others it is hell. I believe life is a gift to experience all that the world has to offer, but at the same time this is why life could be considered hell. For all the goodness that this place has, its got about ten times more hate and deceit. Its kind of sad. But think about it, we are given a certain time period, some 40 years, some 65 years, some 100 years, to go out and venture the world. If you dont take advantage of that then youre stupid. Life is going to pass us by before we know it. Yeah i sound like our fucking parents but its true! Look at me, im already a Junior in high school. My childhood years passed like crazy and its because i didnt take full advantage of what i was given. I let lazyness and procrastination foolishly get the best of me. Im trying now to not be like i was before. In other woeds im trying to enjoy life as it is, and just take what ive been given. Just live life and be happy. Youre gonna die sooner or later so youve got to make the best of the time youre given. Im not here to tell you be a philanthropist, be a good samaritan, be a goody goody, because im not. Im not here to tell you how to live your life. But im here to make awareness that you have to enjoy it before its gone. Life is a topic that hits way close to home for all of us. We've all had people taken away from us. But other than natural cause or something like cancer that is inevitable, take a lesson from why these certain people die. Take a lesson from drunk drivers, take a lesson sexually transmittes AIDS sufferers, take a fucking lesson from those suffering from lung cancer, because if you dont and you let ignorance take over youll end up just like them. Who knows if theres  a golden cloud beyond space waiting for us to reside in the afterlife. Who knows if there is such thing as fate. Who even knows that what i just wrote isnt even far from the truth. We'll never know until we get there, and only at that time when were rejoined with the loved ones weve lost can we finally say what really goes on. And i think that completly gets across what i wanted to say. Peace!
