Theater of the absurd...life

Our lives are not that boring to us.
What one must think about ones own life could only be put in respect of ones own perspective of how they are living at any one time in their own blip in history.
We are in a microchasm of dwellings, and rarely metamorphous out of our world.

Double talk, huh?
If I recall way back in my English Lit days we were taught about the theater of the absurd, which all the world appears to be a stage and we are just players on it.

Sort of gives credence to the idea that there really is something out there Muldaur. (X-Files guy)
And perhaps we are being watched.

Some believe that there is a higher being, God; while others believe whatever they wish in their hearts and perhaps more likely in their souls.
Could it just be our consciences that separate good from evil?
Do all men and women have them?
No, and that is what makes murderers, rapists, and all other criminals different from us so-called good people.

But truthfully are we really that good? We like to think that we are.

Think of the Golden Rule:

"treat others as you would like to be treated"

Do we always treat people as we should even when we are at war? Just the act of war itself is hypocritical.

The Ten Commandments

ONE: 'You shall have no other gods before Me.'

Many religions, is only one right? A resounding, NO!

TWO: 'You shall not make for yourself a carved image--any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.'

OK, fair enough, I am not any good at carving anyway, and I have never had any beliefs in inanimate objects ever! Although, I do have some favorite photos.

THREE: 'You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.'

Too many do daily; not necessarily me though.

FOUR: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.'

In my opinion if you do all the rest it makes up for having to work on the Sabbath.

FIVE: 'Honor your father and your mother.'

Sure, and teens are always cheerful too. It's so easy growing up in this world today. Better they should verbally attack you than some stranger!

SIX: 'You shall not murder.'

Easy not to do; but hard not to just think about those fresh kids. kidding!

SEVEN: 'You shall not commit adultery.'

Nah too tired.

EIGHT: 'You shall not steal.'

NEVER! Maybe steal a good joke?

NINE: 'You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.'

Okay, just tell the truth about those no good people across the street!

TEN: 'You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.'

No, donkeys here or servants, or oxen or any of those things today or any day...so I guess we are in luck we are only middle class slobs! Not interested in women in that way! All the houses here are pretty much the same, not that different. Nice lawn though. Garden aint bad either. Hard to move those things.

And that concludes my irreverent look at religion and what it really means to me, blasphemy! LOL

Speaking My Mind: Which way will the war go?
