Hello. Enjoy the Madness.
Sometimes it's good to have stuff happen that you didn't really want to happen. Example: I failed another math test. Woot. But, the good side is, I'm now thinking about doing what the teacher said to do in the beginning. Crap loads of work. Yup. Things not going your way sometimes forces you to do it the long hard way. Math always clicked before. Maybe now that it doesn't, it can be the best thing for me. Failure can help you learn a lot.
So, I was walking (I didn't do that too much today, so if you tried to figure it out..) and I started thinking about how much image cost. I liked the image of someone who can be anywhere at anytime. Just go into a group and blend and have fun and bring fun. That would be so cool. Unfortunately, Someone who can be anywhere at anytime doesn't really belong anywhere. They don't have anywhere to be. The price of the image.
Then I thought about how it was a good thing that you couldn't buy image. Like, say I was playing some game, and I spent weeks to make an amazing character with all the fancy items and crap. Wouldn't it suck if someone just came along with a character that they bought, and was better than yours? Maybe you would try to object, but it would be like when the dragonball Z characters meet an enemy for the first time. They get ripped up. No chance. It sucks, and there is nothing you can do about it.
Then...We defined currency in class as paper money issued by the government, or something like that. So, what if I made a shop where rocks were the currency? Yup. Rocks. Like, the stuff on the ground. People would take it as a joke. But why is the paper and metal worth anymore than rocks? The aboriginals had it right; trade. Not for gold or used paper.
It would be cool to set up a society with this society. In it, yet completely separate. We could use rocks. And set values on things. Maybe it wouldn't work within this one. Maybe go to some island or something. And start again. Everyone in the town would know everyone else. Pilgrims again. No autarchy, no stock market, no capitalists (or montagues), none of the crap we had now. Well, not none, but to a lesser overall scale. There would be problems, but I can't see them as I'm not there.
I'd have to say I have a new favourite name. Yes, I still want to name my kid Andorra. But this other name...Every person I know under the name is actually amazing, and some of the coolest people I've met. Maybe that means I have a favourite group of people who don't really chill in packs, but I think it's the name. It has to be. It couldn't possibly be anything else.
If you choose to be ignorant of something that doesn't matter, what does that do?
And why are things wrong? You know, you are told not to take any cookies. Why can't you take any cookies? Because you were told not to. Now, why were you told not to? Why is murder wrong? I have a friend, and I was there too, and they become quite upset when their parents prevent them from doing something they want to. Yes, as said, I was pretty much this person, so now we will carry on as though it was me. I didn't see why I couldn't. And sometimes, there was actually no reason. I would ask and they wouldn't have an answer. It was the stupidest thing in the world. But, maybe the reason wasn't about the reason but how I would react. You cannot be like that in real life. You'll die friendless. It will be a sad funeral. No one will come. So then, parents saying no for no reason wasn't to ruin the day, even though the day wasn't ruined. It was to train you for independence. Once you can accept 'no', even if it isn't what was wanted, then maybe 'no' will come less. Of course, this is my analysis of why parents do what they do while I'm not out enough yet to really understand anyway. Yup.
So, did you get an answer for why murder was wrong? I couldn't just go on saying it right there. You wouldn't have had time to think. I heard this a long time ago, so details are hazy. As in, not really. All I remember is the point; Life is precious. God said life is precious. Murder destroys something precious. That is wrong, so murder is wrong. Okay, so why is having a female pastor wrong? Yes, senior. Maybe the Bible was aimed at a time and a culture that I don't know, but the would have to be a reason with a just God, yes? Because a woman cannot teach a man? Why not? I've learned many things from ladies. For the girl-guy equality debate, I don't think there is a debate. It's all words. The power of words is...Unknown to me. Sometimes they are strong, and sometimes they mean nothing at all. But in a debate as this sort, these words mean nothing unless they are backed up by something.
Extremes, although they might not all be approvable, are, I think generally good. Or, moreover, have some benefit. It shows people where the middle is. And, judging by the amount of people following to those leading, most people want to blend, so they want the middle. The the leaders lead those who support the middle. Middle doesn't exist without the extremes. All parts are necessary to have a complete scale.
There are my thoughts on lots of things. May I see yours?

First, I have a question...what's the name?!?!?
Yah that would be my question too
"The power of words is...Unknown to me"
I wouldn't say that of you, Wener. Your words make more sense that I think you know. For instance, you're right, you can't buy an image. You have to painstakingly create it. Like a reputation or how people see you. You can want to been seen as something, but if you don't believe it yourself, than others won't see it either.
Or like the Currency thing too. You could relate currency as an example of consensual reality. You may want rocks as currency, but if the store owner doesn’t want a rock to be currency, (just because they’ve never seen the rock as worth,) then the rocks can’t be considered worth while. But then again, different rocks are worth a lot.
The society is messed up. We need to try this whole thing again. But if we do, I’d have to give up my modern music and that just won’t happen. So I guess this new society simply cannot be. Too bad.
Guys...I'm dissappointed. You should be able to figure it out. Or, I thought you should be able to when I made this. I couldn't just tell you... :P
man you blog to often for me to keep up with,lol. I check about once a week and you blog like 3 pages worth every 2 days... haha. well this comment is completely irrelevent (not sure sp) from the bogs content... but hoorah! cheers.
James.
I think it's really cool. Nice story Werner.

What if women weren't made to be senior pastors? Is it so unthinkable that men and women were created with different roles?
Funny how when I want something that someone elses it's called coveting, but when women want what is mens it's called feminism.
Just a thought
maybe if instead of looking at the bible and saying that it was directed to a different culture, we look at it and say that we have been so integrated into our culture that we are unable to fully comprehende the truth.
For example: Yes it is possible that the bible spoke against women having authority over men because of the culture. But maybe we are so influenced by the Feminist movement we are unable to remain objective to realize that the biblical truth superceeds culture?
Graham...who cares? It doesn't really matter that much.
if it doesn't matter, then Why bring it up?
Liz, Treasure Planet and Titan A.E. are not the same movie, they are two different movies. I aggree with Werner. I would just like to know why you would bring something up if it didn't mean anything to you?
