I have never been able to stomach scary films, and that includes their two minute advertisements on television. The more paranormal it is, the worse I am. I have this horrid habit of psyching myself out. I just can't stop thinking about the possibilities and I scare myself into losing many precious hours of sleep. I have only watched a grand total of three scary films. They are as follows: The Ring, The Grudge, and that one movie about that hotel room that was haunted. Pathetic, I know. But I just can't do it.
I overheard a radio commercial for a horror film recently. I never caught the title, but I clearly remember a line from the narrator that struck me. He said something like, "If you believe in God, then you must believe in the devil." And I thought to myself, what if you don't believe in God? Does that mean the opposite and evil force thought to be the devil simply does not exist for those who do not believe in this God? Does it not apply?
What if you believe that everything happens regardless of.. anything? That things just are and they are governed by the laws of science that are ever changing, that can be tested and updated, that do not judge? Where there is no afterlife, there is the here and now? What makes life so sweet is that it is going to end. What you do now is really what matters, no one has any proof of what happens after death. So until I am given proof, I am going to live out each of my days to the best of my ability, I am going to do what makes me happy because the right now is what is before me, and it is mine and beautiful.
I think everyone has a purpose in being alive. I don't think it is completely random. There must be more to life than to just be here and exist, I have faith in that. "... greatness lies even in the smallest of moments, in the humblest of hearts, and we shall, each of us, be called to greatness. Whether we shall rise to meet it or let it slip away is the challenge put before us all."
Currently listening to: Alex Kidd - Unholy Grail
This is a pretty powerful song. I got goosebumps when I first heard it.
