judgement, goodness, the hereafter...
Posted Apr 14, 2009
Wouldn't it be great if every living thing you come into contact with is actually you living another life...
That'd be pretty much getting what you give, wouldn't it?
Especially if there was some sort of celestial staging area where you go and see all of the different lives being lived simultaneously, feel your actions and the consequences... Every kindness, every cruelty... I cant imagine a nicer and fairer way for it all to pan out (well apart from the ashes to ashes, dust to dust and nothing more thing...).
I just think that all of those violent, cruel people, from the cat-kickers and bitches to the bullies, murderers and people who abuse and neglect children, animals and each other would be exquisitely repaid if they were, actually, only hurting themselves 
.
And every kind word, touch, act and thought would be an act of kindness and respite to oneself, too...
there's a sort of balance to it that I like, is all.
Of course it means that there's only about two people in the world, ever

A ten year old and an eleven year old. Attempted murder.

I dont want to get into throwing blame around, but what scares me is that this happening will enrage and upset people, but nothing will change. The people who are living in a world where this is unfortunate but not that far from likely wont notice. That's just life 
It always scares me when people too young to understand their actions act like adults whther it's through force or an extremety of a culture gone stale. Or even for any other reason.
I feel for the parents of the injured boys and for the boys themselves, of course I do, but I also feel for the parents of the boys who did this. Their family will have been ripped apart just as much. How can you forgive yourself for letting your young child do something like this? When your entire community will, justifiably, condemn you, then what do you do? I cant help but feel like the impact of this on both families should be being covered. That's as important if not more so than the trial. That's what might, maybe, make people realise these are people getting hurt and families, too.
And what the hell are ten year olds doing? When I was ten I was reading comics and buying penny sweets. Riding my bike up and down the road with friends who lived down the road and generally being a kid. It never involved violence or robbery, except when me and my brother occasionally had a rough and tumble, but even that stopped before any damage was done. We rarely even bruised one another!
Agh, I sometimes, just for a minute, wonder what is the point and wonder whether I'd ever want to have children if this is the world they'd be growing up into...

Packet of crisps, well-known brand name...
'Made with *real* ingredients' printed across the packet!
I mean, please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I dont think I am... Surely them existing means they are made of real stuff? Hardly made of non-existent ingredients are they?
IT MEANS NOTHING! I mean, it appears to say a lot. Unless you have an inkling of sense.
It just irritates me, to be talked down to like that by corporations.

The church is worried that someone other than them is trying to control people's morals?
Sorry, I just found that slightly funny. There's a much wider debate here, but this whoel article came across as being a little desperate and petulant. If people dont feel the need for organised religion, or for specific denominations, so be it. There's meant to be a free choice, surely? And if religious groups can advertise, so can atheist groups. Personally I'd have the whole lot go the way of tobacco adverts. Ban the lot. Personaly I believe that spiritual decisions should not be cases for marketing strategies. It makes a mockery of any vestiges of genuine faith and shows religion up for what it is to most people in this day and age. A club to belong to, a business to profit from.
