| Topic #7: Beliefs Question: Why confine your beliefs into something so specific as a religion?
To be written.
Must finish my other one as well procrastination .... my downfall .... actually perhaps it is pure laziness | | |
| Topic #6: ???? Question: How do you undo wrong-doings?
For certain religions, when you have committed a sinful act you are thereby obliged to confess your sins and repent. What is the pupose of this act, to confess or recieve forgiveness? Does it ever undo the wrong that had been caused? And for society, when wrong has been done the person(s) will merely be incarcerated or put to death. And I ask the question again, does this undo the wrong that had been caused or mend it? Some may argue that it will cause others to fear doing the same and can be used as a warning. But the only certainty of fixture is through life. No wrong-doing can ever be undone, nor can what had happened be forgotten. But it does not mean that yu do not have the power to prevent future wrong-doings from happening.
et cetra.... finish later
****written on the whim. Sorry it's very jumbled and incoherent because I was just writing all that came to my mind. Need to finish and revise.

| Topic #5: Questions on Christianity to Contemplate Questions:
Who is Jesus the son of (father wise)? Who is Jesus's mother? Who is her husband? Once again, who is her child? And who is his father? Are all people the children of God? *Do you notice anything as you answered those? What are the 10 commandments? What is the definition of incest? What is the definition of an illegitimate child? Are those not against Chrisitianity? *Do you realize anything?
*Note: I'll have a written entry later on to summarize my thoughts. And there are much more to say, about Christianity- but not this specific topic- as well. And I don't mean to offend anyone and I respect everyone's religion- but these are just my thoughts.
*Reply to a comment: "hm...i would read up on the Bible a little more and talk to some devout Christians before going to the conclusions you're implying sorry if that came out in a patronizing tone... i like your site...you have a lot of thought-instigating entries =)" by akp128
That is the reason for the lack of the "written entry" for now, because I wanted to research the Bible first. And I much rather avoid talking to devout Christians, for they may be biased or unknowingly wrong as well (even though I am biased also and most likely wrong in some way). And as for the "patronizing tone", I do not mind people leaving me comments such as that one. As long as it is constructive criticism; such would only aide me in becoming a better writer and also broaden my views. I actually welcome them, for that is why I joined the blogrings. | | |
| Topic #4: Death Question: What does it mean to "live life to the fullest"?
Death is inevitable. It is a natural process of life; all things must come to an end. The only thing that differs and varies from person to person is when that time will come. So many believe in "living life to the fullest". What does that mean to live life to the fullest? Many people claim to not fear death and would be ready to embrace it. Is that true? Would they be ready to die? And know that all that could have happened in the future would be forsaken? To live life to the fullest, does that mean to live and be able to hold no regrets? Or, does that mean to live and be able to entwine with another?
*I read someone else's xanga this morning- it was a questionaire/answer. At one point it asked "does death scare you" and the reply was "it never did... but now i don't want to go until i've experience my whole life with my angel.." And this reminded me of a certain someone saying to me before "I try to be safe now, I don't want to die now that I'm happy" and "hope i don't die on the way home... cause for first time in awhile, i do care if i do or not..."

| Topic #3: Ingrates Question: Do I not show my appreciation to those that care for me?
Does it not hurt when you do a nice deed or favor for a person and yet they fail to recognize it? They continue to ignore your nice gesture and take you for granted. They are only happy for themselves. And always disregard the person who had offered their help, gone out of their way, and cared to bother with so much trouble. No matter how minute or large the task may have been, that person had cared enough to do it. The next time anyone does anything for you, always remember that it was out of their free will and choice to do so and they could have decline yet did not. So show your appreciation to them and tell them how much it meant to you and say "Thank you".
*This entry is dedicated to my ingrate of a sister Diana- who continues to remain blind to all the kind gestures her sisters have done for her. One of these days Diana, you will no longer have your shroud of friends and finally realize who have been there for you all along- but by then it will be too late and they may no longer want to be there for you anymore. For you, I hope you eventually grow to be a better person. | | |
