Demosthenes

If you are here reading my blog please keep in mind all I write is to try and get people to think, about the world around them. Because I know I may not relay my ideas and thoughts very well but on the most part the idea gets understood, recognised and maybe repeated to another person.

Darwin Or God? Why Not Both?!


The origin of our species, did we evolve to what we are now or were we created by some all-powerful being in the sky?
I say that Darwin was correct in saying that we evolved to what we are now, but does that mean that some divine being does not exist, no. So what if it was proven that Adam and Eve never existed, does it destroy the entire religion, no. It just makes way for a more rational way of thinking, and also a much more believable story of where we came from, I mean if Adam and Eve did exist then everyone would be related and part of one huge incestuous family. I personally think a god that can create a universe full of planets that constantly evolve and change is much more believable than a god who creates an incestuous family.
So does Darwin's theory destroy religion? no. Does it destroy the possibility of a god or goddess in some cases? no.
(I realise that this is shorter than my usual posts but this could have gone on forever and I just wanted to make a point)

Seeing


People today take everything they have for granted, they walk and ran and jump, when there are people who can do none of those things. They ignore the wonderful natural beauties around them when some people would die to be able to see at all. And we are taking and using so much from the world itself we are destroying it.
Selfishness and greed. This is what lies within every human being of the planet. We seek to make our lives so full of pleasure and happiness we ignore all else. Just look around, see the intricate lines on leaves as they rustle about the tree's and f litter down to the ground. Realise that your body is precious and treat it accordingly, don't take risks that could kill you. Listen to the birds chirping and leaves rustling and the wind blowing, respect the world around you and treasure it.
This piece of work was inspired by my poor eye sight, I can still see luckily but I short-sighted, so the green leaves in the trees are no more than smudges, and a few weeks ago I saw a tree properly for the first time and I was amazed, because I realised that I had never seen I tree, I had only ever seen blurs of colour, I was nearly brought to tears in my amazement.
I hope after reading this that you will try to see and feel and listen to all that is around you.

Love & Hate


Love, is it anything more than chemical reactions within your brain? To be honest I do not know, but it is my opinion that you love someone for who they are, the good and bad qualities, no matter what they do. I cannot explain how you can love someone unconditionally if it is just caused by a chemical because I do not understand myself, but love is necessary in everyone's lives if we are to live healthily, we need the love of our mothers, of our fathers, of our brothers and sisters, of our friends and of our fellow human beings, but this will never happen.
Because there are to many people in this world who have done too many terrible things, rape murder, kidnapping. The people who commit these crimes may love them, but that is not the love I speak of, I speak of the love between a pair, a mother and her child, a pair of brothers or a man and his lover. This is the love I speak of, and it is unconditional.
And there is no such thing as love at first sight, to love someone you must know them, you cannot know someone by one glance, you can feel lust for someone at first sight but that is not love.
And you cannot have love without a contrasting emotion or feeling, hate. People use the word hat way too much in this day and age, you can dislike someone easily enough, but hate is a very strong term and must be taken seriously.
Love and hate can both melt away over time and reveal a different disposition for the subject, you can love someone at first and then end up hating them, you could hate someone and end up realising you love to hate them thus loving who they are so you can hate them.
So before you say that you love or hate someone, just think are you ready to commit to it.
