The propensity of unremitting life (man i love bit words)
In the event that someone or anyone chooses to live out a life farther than their bedside, they are faced with many choices;this is obvious. Choices as in food, clothing, activities, maybe even faith, politics, religion, and education. But what i have found apon this subject is that whether agreed upon or not, choices are inevitable. The choice to answer someone, the choice to wake up in the morning. Even more, choices are prominate when they are trying to be evaded, possibly even more so than when choices are confronted. Say you are given a problem to deal with. Within the problem you must make a choice on what to do. But say perhaps you do not want to deal with the problem and thus decide on inaction. This is a choice; you have chosen inactivity in choosing. So no matter what, always a choice is made. Take a simple question, given to you by a teacher. You cannot choose the answer so you choose silence. In this form you may think i am stupid for even thinking of such an obvious event. But take it a step further. (this is a completely fictional situation simply used for demonstration of this useless topic).Your friend has a detrimental habit that is slowly but surely killing him and the situation is unbareable for you. Its been going on for sometime and your choices are a.) telling someone else in which case you are jeopardized or b.) support him with advice in which case he is jeopardized. You have been knee deep in this water since the beginning and by being unable to choose a or b, you are simultaneously choosing b., because it is the same as inactivity. Today i was faced with somewhat of a similar situation. When asked how i felt about a certain action i had two choices, to tell the truth, or tell the lie about my feelings. Knowing the lie was what wanted to be heard but would leave me empty, and the truth could be adverse in out friendship, i was stuck. Either choice was the wrong one. I chose silence, which led to inquiry and thus ended up choosing the truth, without choosing the truth. Why is this so.....
Another topic; my father asked me a very thought provoking question today that i would like some input on. Obviously determined by your religious status and mostly aimed towards those who accept the concept of incessant life, my question is (and think long and hard about this one)
When does eternal life begin?
My answer: The day i accepted Christ was the day i was given eternal life and thus that is when it began.
My father's reply: So since in eternal life you are speaking of Heaven, would you say that on that day, Heaven began?
My answer: Well i guess so.....so then what about Hell?
Tell me please what you think about it all..I'd love to know.later
