About death

They have told us we are the center of the universe. The chosen species. The ultimate creation of God or Nature.[i]
We do not relate ourselves with other creatures. We are not just superior, we are different and beyond any comparison. The evolution theory does not apply to us.
We have been trying to develop any possible argumentation to prove that Darwin was wrong. It is not possible to believe we have come from a random biological mutation in nature. Randomness is inconceivable when talking about the most perfect creature: the Human Being. Science must be mistaken.
We are certain there is afterlife. That is out of question. The question is: how afterlife is. We are so perfectly great that we cannot end just like that. We cannot finish when we die.  Our greatness will reach eternity. We cannot accept that our work in this world will not be appreciated. Then what is the purpose of trying? We must be rewarded at afterlife what we couldn't have here, on the earth, alive.
We are not insects! We are not animals. There is something that differentiates us. That is the existence of Soul. We, humans comprise a combination of material and spirit.
But, it seems it is too hard to accept that this true amalgamation of both is also indistinguishable. Meaning the mental, intangible nature of human cannot exist without the physical one.
Are we learned to do so. I would say yes, but I don’t blame religion(s). There is something else that lies underneath religion. People are too small to confront reality and because of that we have invented religious theories to support and excuse our self-centrism.  
I could understand that when we could not explain the ambient world. At those times the sun and thunder were Gods and the eclipse was a bad sign for the things to come. But today, we have something which then didn’t exist. The science. And science –in contrast to mysticism- says that Nature functions according to natural laws. Laws that can be proven right.
The scientific method cannot tell, or doesn’t care, if what you believe is true of false. Whatever you believe is true (for you). But it goes beyond the belief; to the existence. And although we ignore it consciously, science does have the answers for some of our questions.


[i] If we believe in that for ourselves individually, we would be egoists, arrogant, crazy. Now that we believe in exactly the same collectively for the whole humanity, we are enlightened.

stealing Tamas Szabo

There is an explanation why that blog is so poor in content. I want to keep it original. No copies, no stolen material from other sources. Millions of other blogs with endless articles written by others and zillions of pictures taken and uploaded by anyone but the blog editor. Most of the times without even a reference to creators. Sad.
Today, I realized that –even unconsciously – I, myself was an unauthorized user in the worst way.
The picture I am using as mine at my profile’s avatar is borrowed by sculptor Tamas Szabo.

discipline

I very much like disciplined people. Kids who have been brought up in disciplinary environments know how to respect and appreciate principles of life.
When they grow up, those kids learn that all those principles are false, incomplete, or non-existent. But they have learned to order and control their lives.
This life-time process has helped them a little bit to find out how they are.
The maturely disciplined person is not necessarily obedient to regulations they haven’t adopted. They are not soldiers or slaves. And they are not criticizers, but they are rigid with themselves.
Discipline and freedom are not contradicting. Artists who are the most liberal and progressive part of society are very much disciplined. Do you know any actor or instrument performer who is not disciplined? Not to mention dance, the art most associated with discipline.
