re: Your question..ps it's HOOK, not KooK, unless you mean Osprey>><gg>> These are some thoughts about life by a foreign exchange student from Australia...add to them, government, nature, military, and the guy with the gun, and all the powers that be that control our lives..we have some say, but not as much as we think.
..................................................................
Destiny... no kidding ...
well, i was just talking to some friends here a few days ago..
and something very inetersting came out..
my friend he was saying he had read somewhere on teh topic of FREE WILL.
here is how it goes...you, me, us humans all think we have free will.
we can go to the movies or decide not to..
we decide to do work or we laze around..
we encounter problems, we solve them, we encounter major decisions in
life.. we decide what we are going to do..
we CONTROL OUR lives.. "or atleast that is what we think" !!! consider this -
we look up, into the sky at night and we see the moon.
Have you ever thought how stupid the moon is.
i mean all it does is rotate around the earth. it is static in its
functionality.. in other words it has NO Will of its own, or at least
that is what we think.
It cannot for example decide to just take a roster-day-off work.
If the moon did have a will of it own, it would think, all i wanna do is
go round and round, no one can stop me. i will do what ever i want.
I control myself.But the moon does not realise that it is the
gravitational force of the earth that is holding it and makinmg it do
whatever it is doing.
Well, there is probably some heavenly being out there somewhere...
who is looking down upon us and thinking how trivial our lives and
actions and behaviors are..... JUST LIKE we ridicule the moon actions.
the heavenly-being sees us go from point X to point Y to point Z.
To it, we are just going round and round aimlessly - just like we perceive
the moon actions.
To GOD, 'we and our lives are being controlled by something' that is not
within our reach.. just like the gravitational force that is holding the
moon. Think about this, what if the moon could get in touch and change
the earth's gravitational force.. we will never see the moon again.
The moral is: We think we control our lives, we have something called
Will. but the question remains.... DO WE REALLY ???
Every creature thinks it has WILL, it has the power to control itself.
ALAS, IF ONLY WE COULD GET IN TOUCH WITH WHAT CONTROLS US, we could then
change our lives... DESTINY..its a REAL THING !!!!
