| Dead Brain
|
Four (4) months and counting?
At one point I never imagined that not making a post here would have been possible for so long. With a dead brain however, 'tis very likely.
A dead brain, for those who might be fortunate enough not to be familar with such, is one where creativity and inspiration are far lacking and consequently useful productions are limited to non-existent. This, in most cases, tends to be the result of under-utilization.

| Environmental Sustainability + Psychology = love triangle
|
Have you ever slept on an almost untouched beach on a clear night? If not, you should surely try it. It's the comfort of a full body massage (minus the intensity of deep muscle penetration) plus the post orgasm glow (minus the calories burnt to get there). It's 'fresh' night air melting onto land with smooth-crashing waves. It's the blanket of the night sky (which explains it's own thrill). It's absolutely beautiful.
Have you ever been fortunate enough to be surprized by the image of a full moon rising over the hills of the east? No? Pity you. I was in absolute awe on my first sighting of this and equally so on my 12th. Look out for it setting in New York also. It's twice the size of the one we have here in Jamaica and absolutely breathtaking.
I love the natural features of the earth.
My intrinsic tie to the untouched and 'simple' elements of our natural environment surpasses my understanding and ability to express. Likewise is my love affair with Psychology. Is this reason enough to merge my passions?

Do you know what's funny? Actions guided by self interest.
It's funny because so many a times it's absolutely unnecessary. So many a times it causes damage of such extreme sort. So many a times its result is counter-productive to self as it camouflages our inadequacies and removes any real chance of sustainable development. It's funny because it increases our bad karma.
p.s I just wanted to write something. Oh, and BTW... I strongly dislike dancehall gospel. If y'all want some dancehall try a secular night club. Trying to trick me? You are not funny!Labels: human behaviour, selfishness |

| Loving unconditionally
|
Today I cried.
Not very often do I allow my emotions to do as they wish of and with my physical self; today was an exception. DW, was laid to rest today. An opening in the earth was prepared for him and as he was submerged within, the mother of his two young daughters collapsed to the floor in mourning. His father looked on with eyes blood red, guiding a body they no longer knew. I cried. My thoughts spiraled within what was (or what I'd like to be) a rational space. The emotion I should have been feeling was over-powered by that I should not have been in that setting. I tried to stop the tears but the motivation was far too powerful a force.
I was angry.
DW was kind and calm. However, his death was the result of his attempt to show disregard for the life and work of another.
In spite of...
I struggled with making a decision about attending the service. I wondered if going would suggest my support for his attempted action. I wondered if not going would dispel my cognitive position of the essential goodness of man. I wondered if I'd forgiven him. I wondered if I was worthy of showing my final respect if I hadn't any real appreciation of his 'situation'. I still wonder.
I wonder many other things. As I sat there in the church reflecting on the practice of that category of ritual, I wondered about its purpose. If the 'bad' will perish in hell for being such, why have this ceremony? Is it a final plea for forgiveness? If God is all knowing and therefore understands the circumstances of all our actions why isn't forgiveness automatic? If man is expected, in his practice of Faith to be forgiving why isn't God going to forgive the final immoral acts of man? Why would a Creator with the most caring heart want his people to burn in a never-ending fire?
Karl Marx expressed that religion is the 'opium of the people' but what opium is it to the 'unsaved' of us?
And then.. why is rage so powerful that it allows us to disrespect the life and well-being of others? Why are we allowed to step outside ourselves so much so that we can inflict such pain we ourselves would struggle surviving? Why are we not yet able to attend to the needs of the deprived to assuage their unfortunate actions? What have I done so I should worry about my safety at nights hoping I make it to sunrise?
And I should love unconditionally?
TO WHAT END?Labels: god, human behaviour, love |
