I usually don't go into this except with someone that I really know, when we are questioning existance and the beginning.
Silver plate,I believe you are 100% right, there is not a doubt in my mind that there is a higher existance or "power". I just don't know if it has anything to do with humans. Ok, Im not gonna tip toe around this subject so.. I'll just say what I think about the whole situation and try to say it without sounding like a nut.
Ever notice how things seem to work in a cycle? "All matter is composed of atoms." Hmm.. So we are all made of atoms. What are protons made up from?? More atoms?? Hmm.. The planets rotate the sun and the moon rotates the planets. (Sounds like an atom.) We know there are many more, uncountable, universes out there. Is it possible that we are living IN an atom?? Is it possible there are other lives in the small particles that
all matter is consisted of? I think the answer to this is YES. I think we are composed of atoms, there are atoms within those atoms, that we in fact are part of an atom which makes up another atom and so on. Where does it end?? We are so insignificant, there is no way I think we will ever know. We could be part of a pebble, grain of salt, electricity, there is really no telling. Anyhow, this discussion could go on for 80 years. Which leads me to time, it really is relative. A life time to us may be a second in the bigger scheme of things, a second to us may be a life time for someone/something else. We know this is true, we can look under a microscope and watch other cells come to life and end in a matter of seconds. We know the 'half-life' of different substances, is there something watching us?? Good chance!
Well, I meant to stop at anyhow but once I get going its hard to stop a thought.. one just leads to another..
I believe there is a high power, I just don't know if its how everyone preceives it.. I'm not an athiest, I'm a Marxist. I don't claim there is or isn't a god, I simply claim not to know. I think the best we can do is live and be happy, make the most of our time(this
is our time whether it be a second or 80 years).
Disclaimer; I could be completely wrong! I'm just stating some observations I've made, which led me to this conclusion.
Sorry, 4 years trying of avoiding this subject here and I have to open my BIG MOUTH.. Peace
