The big questionmarks
Like in every religion there are always some questions that are too big to answer. They are just not comprehensible. With all my knowledge I have about the world and the beliefs and religions and whatnot, there are still some things that remains unexplained. I usually come up with a way of explaining things myseld, fininding a solution that sounds plausible to me and I stick with it until someone proves me wrong or alters my opinion. Ask any priest/guru/whtvr of any belief and they answers will be as vague as mine, because they simply can’t admit it and say: I really don’t know. I don’t think a religion should have answers to everything, and a human being as an individual shouldn’t either, because if they wouldn’t have anything to think and ponder about, what would there be to consider and strive for. I we’d know the purpose of life we would probably be very uninspired to do anything that we now do in daily life..
1. The tsunami and other natural disasters
Why did it sweep over the places it did? Why did so many people die, why just them? What did they do wrong? Was their purpose in life to die as a wake up call for the rest of the world or what? I don’t understand. And I don’t want to hear about physics, and richters, I don’t give a fuck about how a tsunami works, because there were so many people in the world left parentless or childless, lost everything they owned except their own life, and you cannot comfort these people with science. And then again why there are so many miraculous stories about people who were saved, or happened to be somewhere safe in the midst of disaster when the tsunami struck.
My thoughts: I think that mother earth sees to that where ever there is too many people, where the world is getting over populated and where bad things happen (as you know, many beach cities in Thailand were known for childprostitution, drugs etc. , she wipes it away. If I’d get to choose a way to die I’d want to die in a natural disaster, it is the most natural way to go.
I also think, that for a moment, the disaster made by the tsunami was a wake up call for the whole world, and the world was, for a few days, helping eachother, co operating and trying to comfort eachother, the world was reunited.
But why certain people died, that I can’t answer.
2. Aids and Africa
Babies are born with aids. Mothers with aids carry babies that are born with aids or HIV.
I believe that the soul chooses which family to go to, that they choose what souls they’d like to be with in their life. What I don’t understand is that how can someone’s purpose in this life be to die? And why? To set an example for the rest of us? To awaken our sympathies and help africa?
My thoughts: I think that Mother Earth sees to that whenever the world gets too overpopulated, or when we use too much of our resources she sees to the balance of the world. I’m just waiting to see what is going to happen with china.
All the big viruses and epidemics in the world sprung up from nowhere, and some has dissappeared in nowhere aswell.
Let’s take the spanish flu as an example.
The spanish flu appeared from almost nowhere in 1918 and killed 50-100 million people in less than two years, that was a mortality rate of about 5% of the world’s population. The wierd thing about this flu, that argues against the Darwinist theories about the selection of the fittest, is that it killed the most viral and healthy. Usually a flu kills the elderly and infants, and the flu hit in summer, when peak time for viruses is winter when the immune system is low. Then suddenly, the virus dissappeared. Now when the bird flu is in the news researchers hjave found links to the spanish flu and think that it is a mutant of the spanish flu. If the spanish flu was that devastating, and that was almost 100 years ago, what will happen with the bird flu?
Mother earth is very angry with the spieces called homo sapiens that shit in their own nest. We are such dumbasses.
I read somewhere today a very good quote.. Made me feel very little and unimportant. Ruth Barret, a wiccan, said this:
Mother Nature stretching — she had a kink in her back and stretched. Though the resulting casualties were horrendous dwelling on why people suffered was narcissistic when nature constantly reshapes itself. We’re so self-centered and think we are the be-all and end-all of the universe.”
My head is full with so many thoughts, and I feel like I want to burst. I have a notion of why we are here, and where we are going but the more I think of it, the more confused I get, but that is the point, isn’t it?
I have had similar thoughts on the subject for years. It’s good to see someone agrees with me.
When it comes to the Spanish fu, it was a strain of H1N1. Sound familiar?
One conspiracy theory online has mentioned that some samples of the Spanish flu, Influenza H1N1 were dug up from an Inuit grave in the permafrost in Canada/Alaska (somewhere thereabouts). There are science news articles in respectable newspapers and -journals supporting this. There are only a couple of high grade security labs that are allowed to even store, let alone research the samples. One of them in Atlanta.
Now the conspiracy theorists are saying that the outbreak in Mexico was from an illegal lab that was experimenting with mass-producing a viable strain of the virus, and a vaccine for it. Anyone ever thought why this strain got a vaccine out so quickly, and pharmaceutical companies made a fortune? Exactly. Theories fly around, and I’m not 100% sure I believe it, but the outbreak sounds too orchestrated to have been entirely natural.
I had the Swine Flu and survived. I hope the sick lady on the Trans-Atlantic flight I was on made it, too. I’m pretty sure a bunch of us on that flight got a fairly mild strain from the woman. My colleagues at work all got the same strain as I had, and were done with it within a week.
Nature strives to bring balance, so a pandemic and natural disaster are among the only mechanisms left that can cull the proverbial human herd without human interference. Sadly, this interference is ever growing. The agribusiness in the US and Canada is dominated by pesticide and herbicide manufacturers, whose GM-crops are the only ones that can withstand the toxins they want farmers spraying their crops with. With certain crops such as corn and soy being subsidised, this leads to a very vulnerable system of monoculture. If a blight were to take out the crops, the entire food industry in North America would tank. Nature has its ways to abuse weaknesses caused by human stupidity to smack us in the face if we grow too proud.
