With everything we know about cigarettes people still choose to smoke.
With everything we know about heart disease and obesity we still gorge on junk food.
With all the deaths and injuries of drunk driving we still have to arrest people for DUI.
So how many people really care to listen to me, and my suggestion that as a whole we humans are getting it all wrong!
Come on people, you have to admit, there is something in humanity that is fundamentally flawed and just plain stupid. Nietzsche's supermen are not coming. We might colonize the moon but someone is going to start snorting moon dust and foul up that planet too. Our technology and understanding of the universe is growing exponentially, but we still enslave, rape, murder and are helpless against our own greed, addictions, inadequacies and selfish ambition. Check out what this video if you're still not convinced.
So here's my point at last: When things are going okay or good, even a little bit bad, few people are willing to really change and accept the potential that the way they are living is all wrong and needs major repair.
But when you hit bottom or see it creeping up on you, when despair is your most familiar friend... look to God. Look to Jesus. Accept that you are both flawed but inherently wonderful. Accept that you are both animal and spirit. And discover how to really live.
*disclaimer*
Do not judge a belief system based on those who abuse it. I said look to God, look to Jesus. Not religion, some TV evangelist, or some of the crazy christians who might mean well but are still figuring it out. If I am one of those to you (crazy christian)...umm...yeah... can't think of anything clever to say :) Don't allow me to let God look bad.
