Life

Life is an interesting thing. When you start to figure out what life is all about suddenly you find yourself trying to fit everything into a nice package. My view on this is plain and simple (of course in reality that simplicity is very complex). I've decided that life can not be put into this nice box where everything is defined. Life is an experiment, and that there is no right answer to any one problem. During my journey that I call this mortality I have come up with a few hypotheses that have yet to be proven wrong. (Of course there is always the chance that they could be since a hypothesis is just a theory waiting to be proven wrong. And for the sake of my optimistic side, which is highly overridden by my pessimistic one, it hopes that these few thoughts are wrong).
First off- people are stupid. Yea, I know that this is harsh, but you see it everyday. Human beings, despite all that they have acheived, make the dumbest of choices everyday. Take for instance the person who gambles. No I don't want to impose my moral values in this blog, so I'll do my best to separate the two. Going on, gambling is almost a very fruitless act seeing as probably around 90% of the time you come away losing money. There is always the chance you will walk away with more than you came in, but that chance is very small. So is this an intelligent thing to do? The odds would suggest no. And there are many more examples I could provide, but I think that I have started to paint the picture.
We as humans are always trying to reach higher, and in some cases we have. I mean outer space was no small step. But there are other things that we do that seem a little absurd. Like man's desire to control everything around him. It is a natrual thing that we all do. It has brought about amazing advances in thought and technology, but there are certain limits that we miss when we are striving to have mastery over everything. I mean nature isn't going to bow down and say, "yea, I'll be subservient to you little human." So why do we all feel that we must be the one in charge. From my personal view it is better in the back seat. I mean the other week I was riding in a van through very bumpy terrain, and I was having the time of my life. People need to learn that there is a balance to all things. It's hard to find it, but it is there. It is those people who disregard this balance that ruin the lives of many around them. To summarize all of this, we need to slow down and take life as it comes. It is good to be prepared, but there are certain "random" (I love that word because it describes my life perfectly) events that we will never see coming, and will totally catch us off gaurd. Roll with it. That is a small piece of life.
So this has been fun. I'd love to share more of my hypotheses and insights in the future. I hope that you have started to see what kind of person I am from the things that I have said. (If you haven't I'm a pretty sarcastic, possimistic (in the middle between pessimist and optimist), and I love to have fun. You'll probably see more of my personality as I write more. Please feel free to add your comments about what you think life is about, and what you have discovered while walking the streets of this wonderful world.
