So my boyfriend and i have been best friends for quite a while now and i keep asking him to come to church. But, the answer is always no. My question is, whats so bad about one church service? You don't have to sign your life away just because you came to one service. I've personally been going to church since i was born and have no problem with it. I will admit sometimes it is awfully difficult to get myself up in the morning but i enjoy spending time with my family (most of the time). Plus i would imagine he would like to spend as much time with me as he could on weekends when we don't see each other that often, even if it meant having to go to church before lunch for once. He says it's "not his thing" which i understand. He's a teenage boy. They're like that.
Onto another subject. What are your beliefs in religion? Do you believe in heaven and hell? In my days full of thinking i've focused on this subject in more depth then some other topics. The understood uncertainty humanity has over the "afterlife" and what this place really is haunts me everyday. The more i think about it, the harder it is to just go through life without a care. On the other hand, though, being unsure of this life could be your key to letting go of your boundaries and worries. This, too, could be a problem. I try to imagine a society, a world, where every one is worry and care free. I imagine everyone has been lightin up, for example, and have no sense of responsibility, or duty, or any other compelling feeling but love and compassion. How would we function? The jobs would never get done cutting off trade, communication, modern medicine, agriculture, and any other tool necessary for civilization. This is no doubt dramatized but still, the point i was trying to make is our culture thrives off it's need for order but the natural laws of life and sanity as they apply in our overcrowded, debted, and falling society make it impossible to keep this vision of Utopia.
This is it for today. More life thinking soon. Stay childish.

Hello there stranger. You have entered my blog. Now you get to hear about my life. Brace yourself, it's a bumpy ride.
First off, I've recently explored the theory of Solipsism. It's a widely interesting belief of life existence. A Solipsist primarily believes they cannot prove, nor disprove, the existence of other beings or themselves in the universe (if there is one). Others may believe that humans are all beings of a sort, even a brain in a jar perhaps, and most all the senses and emotions we feel are fabricated by our own imaginations. Think about that for a while. What if the entire universe as you know it is just a figment of your imagination. Every experience, every sense, every emotion you feel, every moment is your subconscious feeding you life.
This raises the question for me: if this is true and we are all only brains in vats, or better yet every person is from my brain and my so-called life is just my imagination, wouldn't that be the definition of life.
Life, like numerous other words, is relative. It conforms to any situation of being. Any way that you live is your life and if its lying in the middle of nothing, dreaming for ages (which you wouldn't know) then that's the way it is. While i explore dreaming; what if life is one big dream. People say humans use a fraction of their brain in life (there's that word again) and maybe the rest we are using right now to create this giant hallucination of a life. And like every dream, it will at some point end. Maybe then we'll move on to the next one.
Though the concept of eternity is a difficult one to grasp even slightly, most all everyone believes it don't they? Where do you think you'll go when you "die". What happens to the earth in a couple hundred, or thousand, or billion years? What is out-space? Heck, what is inner space? You decide, rather, I decided, since this is all part of my day dream world and life.
Chew on that.
