Insanity is like a persistent, nagging lover that takes you into the sweet bed of madness, and strips you of your humanity. She will kiss away your words, amplify the hidden depths of your heart, and rob your mind of any barriers; she will simply reveal you for who you are without all of the check and balances of your soul.

0 What would you do, game: 2
Posted By
Anthony Souls
I've always enjoyed hypotheticals/what-ifs; so much so that, I consider it a form of an intellectual game/entertainment. I never had anyone to play it with when I was younger, which comes to why I posted this:
I will post a hypothetical scenario, and then, you give your response with your reasoning as to why you would do that...
Simple enough?
Scenario 2:
While you are sleeping, someone breaks into your home (stealthily), they go upstairs and abducts your 13 year old girl/boy, and they make off with him/her into the night. When you do finally wake up to use the restroom, you wake by her/his room and find him/her missing... You search the house and found out that someone else was in here (your home) and that she/he is gone.
Then, you call the police, they scour the city, but to no prevail - she/he is not to be found. They search your home for clues and come up with a clue: a strange brand of candy wrapper lying beneath the bed of his/her room (but not so strange that she couldn't have gotten it from school).
But this is a big clue to you, if not the police, because you know of someone who eats those exact ones: your neighbor a couple blocks down. You know that he makes a lot of money, yet he never goes to work. You know that he has been friendly with your daughter/son and always seems to stare at him/her. So, you press the cops to search him/talk to him- and they do.
After talking to them, they come up with nothing, don't think he did it at all. He has an alibi (don't they all), and that he was home with is wife during that time (She even admits to making love to him all night long.)
It's been a couple days now, nothing is progressing, no clues, your certain that your neighbor did it.
What do you do?
Keep in mind that:
1. the police said they won't help you any further with him (he didn't do it): they will find her/him and follow all other leads.
2. Seems that the neighbor just got a lot of money recently, he is dressed in more expensive clothes than normal.
3. There are no other clues, and it's doubtful that anyone will call the hotline for a tip.

Scenario 1:
Your on a date (trying to enjoy the evening night out, yes evening...) on a sailboat trying to fix your relationship with your fiancee; then the unthinkable happens, she hits her head on the boat and falls in during a mysterious patch of rough waves (you knew you shouldn't have gone out this late.) But at last! She was the only one that could swim... Even so, the water was so dark, you couldn't see a thing... Moreover, if she did end up dead, you would surely be blamed by the family (out of means of revenge) for killing her! By golly... They never did like you...
Keep in mind that:
1. You can't swim
2. The water is too dark.
3. Time is tick-toking as you try to think.
4. The family has a wealth of witnesses to testify against your character.
5. On top of that, they have phone conversations of you not at your best...Diabolical...

0 Sometimes I Wonder about the Power of Words, question
Posted By
Anthony Souls
Sometimes I wonder about the power of words (since my blog is a spiritual panoply of literature), and if my writings have changed lives... If that change has been for the better or worst... If I've added any spiritual value, in which, this life we live... A lot of powerful questions that anyone should consider, very philosophical in nature.
Can one man really bring the fall of a nation, or reach/lift people out of the depths of poverty... You see nothing but greed in our society, and that greed is praised above all else. Companies have become kingdoms unto itself, and families have become dictatorships; how can our civilization/society survive in such turbulent/ambivalent times as these. Surely, a fall is coming if we don't change.
People like to blame the Devil/demons for all of our problems, but the reality of the matter is: we are just as evil to the core as such creatures. We've flourished and enriched the darkness within ourselves to a sinister/monstrous level of art; how are people be so blind... We have solutions/answers/remedies/knowledge that could help so many in ruin/despair, yet we choose not to act upon it, not to do it, and for what? Technicalities, probabilities, exceptions that we conjure/dream up to not act. We've got people dying from health problems; yet, most of these problems are treatable/curable; and to what end? Because of financial/monetary reasons, reasons of selfishness and disdain. What do they see in the mirror, when they look upon it...
We've got ways of growing crops of food, land which could be cultivated, energy and passion, but to what end? Do we put it to where it counts? No, people are left hungry/starving, and in ruin; starving from the greed of our monetary system; a system that has turned the abundant resources that God has provided, and turned it to scarce resource beyond many's reach.
This is the nature of human beings, and many more such examples could be quickly thought of/spoken. We've taken a world that could be as close to heaven as humanly possible, and made it into a hell for those that don't benefit from it/fit in.
People who we support have become billionaires, leaders of elaborate businesses/empires- and what do they do with their money? Do they put it back into the system to benefit humankind? Do they use it to solve the problems of our world? Do they do anything but horde/save their wealth as some form of demented trophies... To what end will people continue to produce such endeavors/people? What level of hypocrisy have we sunk to? And it is certain to get far worst.
We see human people/homeless people; we label them with degrading vulgarity: what do they think/comprehend when they act/reflect upon themselves? We have racism/hatred, over such silly things as: hair color, clothes, just about anything you can come up with- yet, it still seems to flourish just the same... We shield our eyes from the caustic nature of ourselves, and cover it up with improper tidings of humor/of improper conducts... And each generation seems to be getting more elaborate, worst, and life has become something subjective (not tangible or sustainable). Where are we heading? Do enough people ponder such realities/such life...
This has been your: Food for Thought,

2 My Personal Quandary
Posted By
Anthony Souls
I've been contemplating how I fit into this world, and came across a personal quandary:
How can I come up with ideas/thoughts/logistics that fits into this world (belongs), and yet, I don't belong in this world itself as a tangible person? How can I share similarities in personality, spirit, and mind with others in this life, and yet, they don't see me as apart of it? Very deep and interesting/provoking thoughts. Similar to my logic a long time ago: If you're a Christian, love Jesus, you will be assured to be loved by other fellow Christians (since they love Jesus as well)...How naive I was...
I started thinking about this off and on for a while now: that people as fiction are accepted (but not their real counterparts). And it proposes an interesting question: Why this and not that... Could the subtle differences about people really deprive them of a substantial life. Could thinking this way- verses that, really cause a disharmonious ripple throughout your life. Could the superficiality of how you say it, destroy the value of what you said? Life is very transient...Very endearing of itself. Would authors/poets have been just as accepted if we personally knew them in real life? Or, is it just the thought that someone takes in, twists to their own outlook, that gets accepted...
And this leads to even more questions: I think that philosophical questions, are just questions that infinitely springs fourth more questions about yourself/your reality. People always degrades others based on financial income, as if monetary worth equates spiritual worth (and by proxy, your worth in this life). Why is that? Is that just another way to put yourselves on pedestals, while demeaning others. Could someone really make a substantial amount of income, if they are not accepted in any form in this life (don't provide something that would be accepted). It's not about the worth of what you give, but the worth of what other's deem it: that is what it all boils down too.
I leave you with this: Food for Thought

1 The Got Milk of Condom Ads

Anthony Souls
So, I had this dream last night with a segment (I just woke up from a moment ago) that would make the perfect "Got Milk of condom ads..." You may be wondering, why would you have the perfect ad for condoms while dreaming? That is just how my mind works :P (Or, they already have telepathic advertising through some form of demented technology...) Regardless, this is how it went, and I'll let you be the judge...
It starts with a guy in a gas station convince aisle (not sure why it matters that it was a gas station like store, lol), and he is all discombobulated and moving around with Saran Wrap out of view underneath the camera angle (this is a crucial part of the story...lol.) He is messing around with green Saran Wrap (this is also crucial, don't ask why it matters that it was green, lol), and as you come to find out, he had just made himself a super hero outfit out of the green Saran Wrap (full with an aerodynamic cape, with the right weight and air flow (this is important as well...)) And he is standing all proud of himself, with the pose of a self-indulgent super hero that has just accomplished something "Great", when, you realize just as he does, that the only area not covered is his...Personal area down below (lol); then it shows a short period of shame (perhaps in slow motion, lol) and has a textual and voice overlay, that goes: Got Protection...
Whew, what a weird idea to pop into my head while dreaming...

1 Are you a Christian? Commentary

Anthony Souls
Are You a Christian...
...that believes the Bible to be the inspired word of God?
This is an interesting question- I really hate calling myself a Christian because of the stigma associated with it (Maybe hate is too strong of a wrong, lol). A lot of Christians have lived the exact opposite of Christ and yet, calls themselves Christians; for this reason, I dislike the term as abused by others. What I rather say is: I adhere to be Christ-like :) Or, I believe in God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost and try to follow His teachings.
In any event, I strayed from the question: yes, I believe that the Bible is the Word of God, but, lately I rely more on the knowledge that the Holy Ghost provides me with (that lives inside of me). When you have the Holy Ghost inside of you, you can gain insight from Him, and gain help with reasonings that are circumstantial in nature (or in conflict).
As a tip for other Christians, the greatest commandment from God is to love; I think that no matter what the sin, no matter what the disagreement, we should fall back on love to bridge ourselves with others. For example, it would be silly to not help someone on Sabbath day, just because you are suppose to rest.
In conclusion, I leave you with this thought: I rather be born a sinner, and grow with God each and everyday, than to be born of perfection, and grow apart.

2 Pro-life commentary
Posted By
Anthony Souls
I'm very oppose to abortions/stem cell research, and find it appalling that people consider it a choice argument, over a life argument. I would make it illegal at any stage to terminate a life (only under certain, rare medical conditions, should their ever be a choice involved). And at conception, there is life developing (whether you believe it or not, a catalyst has started which started the process).
And, no one can argue that if left undisturbed, the life would continue to form throughout the processes (unless stopped by a cause of some form). You can argue that the life-form could naturally abort itself through a miscarriage, or through some natural/accidental means: but, such reasoning is outside the scope of the argument. The whole reason for abortion is to terminate the life that is growing inside of a woman (So clearly, the life-form is alive and abortion is the act of terminating life; if it would terminate on it's own accord, there would be no need for an abortion.)
So then, the argument would go to: the life-form isn't fully develop- so, it isn't considered an intelligent/conscious life-form (like a bacteria, or virus, or plant). This is where our morality/ethics would come in, take over. There is no way to determine when a life has a soul/or proven that we even have a soul. So, it is nearly impossible to say with scientific certainty, if by ending the life's development, we are also terminating a self-aware, conscious, or spiritual entity. This is when our values take over through assumptions and personal insight.
I like to treat it in a simpler context: if left undisturbed, without dangerous interactions, a left form would continue it's development to becoming a new-born baby. The act of abortion, is the termination of a life at early stages of development, and the reasoning behind it: is destructive, selfish, and irresponsible. So, for me, it becomes more about the rational behind the matter, and the consequences of the act, rather than, the merits of the life's right's to live (although, those rights are just as important).
The choice argument really bothers me on multiple levels. If it really was a personal choice, no other life-forms would be involved. Our right to chose is offsetted by our interference with another's rights. Therefore, it makes no sense from a logical/intellectual standpoint. If there was a right to chose, it would only have been: when they choose to have sexual intercourse (or, lack there of a choice: in cases of rape and forced conception). In case of the former, a malicious act doesn't negate another victims rights (the life-form that is developing). It doesn't suddenly give someone else the right to commit a likewise heinous act. Therefore, I don't know how it ever became legalized.
In any event, these are my thoughts on the matter, and you have yours.
Take care,

0 Medicare, Social Security cuts, Commentary
Posted By
Anthony Souls
Where our country is heading is starting to get ridiculous (sadly so); They want to start making cuts to the Social Security/Medicare system (seeking 4 trillion dollars worth of funds (perhaps, elsewhere too- not sure)) in order to not default on our nation's debt, sigh; the same debt that, most likely, involved the bailout of corporations and businesses that misused funds. Some would say that Obama is bluffing (as if this was a poker game) with the lives of our people over tax hikes, but, would that make it any better? What if they call his bluff (if it even is one) what then? Sigh.
What will happen to all the elderly, all the disabled, all the people who depend on the small, monthly checks that they get from the government for their livelihood; the people who depend on medicare for their insurance. Are we going to start seeing elderly homeless, disabled homeless, people dying left and right, if this came to past?
Of course, they would never suggest that: the politicians and government officials that makes over a certain amount be cut, which would be the logical choice; they make far to much already, but, the question remains: will anyone do anything about it? You always hear people complaining about the amount of spending and paychecks that the government uses every day, yet you never see anyone doing anything to regulate it. We are suppose to be a country for the people/by the people/for the people, yet, our freedoms are slipping away from us; so, what do we do?

0 Casey Anthony's Verdict, commentary
Posted By
Anthony Souls
After only 11 hours of deliberating (the jury), arrived at a decision of not guilty (yet, found her guilty of lying- how ironic): how short is that. I, for one, think that Casey Anthony is guilty. Regardless of all the technical babble and alternate explanations of evidence, Casey Anthony took over a month to report that her daughter was missing, she then didn't even report it (her mom did), She then had incriminating evidence on her computer about ways to kill someone, she then was partying and got a tattoo that said: the good life, all of this during the time that her daughter was missing, she then gave the police false information (that she knew was false), She then gives a story about being raped by her Father/or brother in court for sympathy (I suspect) for an explanation as to the delay, she then comes up with an obviously fabricated story (in my view) about her Father finding her daughter's body in the pool (where she supposedly drowned). If this doesn't give someone reasonable doubt that they killed their daughter (who was found within miles of her home, when she was suppose to be on vacation somewhere far away) I don't know what will. It sure gives me reasonable doubt.
There was also a problem with the way that the jury was chosen, for me at least. Since this case was such a public one, they had to find impartial jurors (sounds reasonable); but, they didn't do just that, they purposely choose people that followed the very perfection of what a juror should be. It was far too regulated and coerced for my liking. When you treat someone like they are impartial to begin with, when you regulate them to the very, paper book, ideals of what a jury is (and far beyond that), separate them from the world for prolonged periods of time, when you tell them to go with nothing but the evidence (when reasonable doubt can be based on more than technicality) then you are left with a jury that is far more unlikely to render a guilty verdict (which is exactly what I think happened).
Therefore I propose this: if you did this special treatment for every case there is, would you reach the same outcomes? Would the outcomes be more just? Or, would the perceptions and impartiality of the case be skewed by doubt and pressure placed upon them?
This is just my opinion, if you have yours, then you are entitled to it.

0 Happy Fourth of July, everyone: question

Anthony Souls
Although it is the eve of the Fourth of July, I decided to wish everyone, Happy Fourth, just the same :) What is everyone doing on the Fourth? Anyone us shooting off fireworks? I might try again at the park (tried yesterday night and it didn't go well).
When I went earlier, the park was closing within 25 minutes of us being there (Uncle, Fiancee, and myself), the wicks on the fireworks wouldn't light, and mosquitoes were biting the hell out of us... Not the greatest attempt at having fun, lol. So, today (tonight), we are going to try again.
And, on a side note, I find it comical that there are so many restrictions on the Fourth of July, when, the Fourth is about independence and freedom. Diabolical,
I would love to hear from you and what you have to say, take care,
