Life?

To many, to live is to laugh, love, express. These people believe they have found their meaning, to me, when I think of my meaning it's like staring at white noise. I can see something forming but I don't quite know what it is. Then I start thinking deeply about life in general. Does anyone else wonder if what we do is irrelevant and insignificant? Depending on what you believe, this may just be a path leading up to a glorious life after death. Though, I have a question to ask: why go through such a hard time in this life just to reach a nirvana? Why can't the nirvana be this one? The other option I think about is: past lives. If we do have past lives, we don't remember them; so does what we do in this life become irrelevant and insignificant because once we pass on, anything we've done will be forgotten? This is a tricky subject. What about love? Can one really live life solely on love? How does one know they have obtained love? I believed I obtained it once. But that's gone now, at least for her. Maybe it's just remaining in my thoughts for one reason: I miss her. I hope I can soon figure out why I'm here. Who put us here, what we all need to do to obtain our nirvana. I have not lost hope. I never will, I just like to think.

The idea of peace on Earth.

-- You may have read this because of the title. The name of the blog may have appealed to you, or when clicking this on, my design made you feel calm. At home maybe, but do you know why? I selected a template with nature, toned down how bright the page was; and even made backgrounds and texts darker or lighter. All of this was done to appeal to the person reading my blog. To make them feel at home, at peace, so they could then be interested in my blog. Would you really click on a blog that had a name that didn't appeal to you? Or a picture that made you uneasy? No. By this point i would hope you have asked yourself: "What does this have to do with peace on Earth?" Well, I am trying to figure out why we can't achieve peace on Earth, why we are having a hard time achieving this world known goal. My thinking is, if i can get one or two people to read my blog because of something i set up to appeal to them, why can't this be done world wide? Say for example, if you are that one person that read my blog because the texture of the blog appealed to you and made you feel at peace, is that possible to do with the world? Can we start appealing to people more, making them feel at peace? Maybe then we can work towards a better world. However, if I can make you feel at peace, then in a sense I am controlling how you think and feel. Several people do not like that. AT ALL. These are the people that do not want to try and achieve peace on Earth. They think their life is already at peace, why try and change others? Believing that since they are happy with their lives, that is all that matters. People do not like thinking they are being controlled, it all goes with how they are raised too. An example is if you watch a teenager who is talking back to their parents or authority figures, they probably will grow up thinking anyone who guides them is trying to be controlling. There seems to be horrible ratio of those who see guides as controlling, to those who see guides as... guides. I guess I have answered my own question that was stated above. We can not have peace on Earth because our species as humans has not matured enough to think for themselves. To realize that not everyone who guides you is a controlling figure. Now I'm not saying everyone who gives you advise is helping you, no no no. We have not matured enough to realize that either; propaganda and modern T.V. shows us how very well we can be controlled. Which will be a side topic in my next blog. Until next time, goodbye and happy thinking. =]
