Today, i had a cup of hot chocolate (and sip of mint hot chocolate) while meeting a friend i had. We had a lot of fun and i really enjoyed meeting her, and i got away with being a gentleman :P Well we had a whoooole lot of nonsense talks. But she actually made one sense i one point, and i told her "im writing this on my blog on the internet" her point was the following.......:
If you touch another persons fingers, you are really close to that person. I really got me thinking.... how many persons have allowed me to touch their fingers? So far i have only thought of one, the one who told me this. She grabbed my fingers and i really felt awkward, not because i dont like her or anything, its because i think i have never felt it before. Does that mean i have never had a close enough relationship with someone?
Dang, who wants to touch MY fingers? no commitment, i just wanna feel like someone really wants to touch 'em, okay i just noticed it all sounds a bit creepy, but i just mean the five things sticking out of my hand. Fingers....
I thought i could say more about the subject but i cant, so thats it. Touch the fingers of those you care about. :)

Let me ask you a question, take your time thinking the answer...
What is my purpose in life? Will i feel satisfied someday? Is there a girl for me? Do we really look at the moon at the same time as the person for each of us? Am i the guy for some girl? Is there someone in the world that is an identical copy of myself? What happens after death? What is the weight of the soul? Why do girls always end up with the wrong guy? What is absolute truth? Could someone like me? Will the world really end? If so, when? Can i count up to infinite? What is beauty? Why do we take things so seriously? Where do all the lost socks go? Why is the world filled with positive people who are always so negative? Why is this abstraction we call money so important in our lives? Is it possible that we see things differently? Could my "red" be your "green"? How do you describe the color "blue" to a blind man? Is all this a really elaborate dream? If so, when do i wake up? How big is the universe? How do people know its infinite if nobody had traveled far enough to find its endlessness? How many people are smiling right now? How many are crying? How many drops of rain fall everytime it rains? Why is "outside" so big while "inside" so small? Why do most feel better "inside"? Why do we question everything? Why is computer science more advanced than filosofy, something like "life science"? Why is some art better than other? Why are some guys such jerks? Why are some girls such bitches? Why did they take so much time to invent the wheel? Is she the one? What is "the one"? How come sometimes i have to shower with cold water? Why do most things come in pairs? Why do we consider some people so different when we are all humans? What if i could change the world? Why do so many people wish they could turn invisible? Is it really that difficult to find a needle in a haystack? Couldnt one use a magnet? What if i never was born? Who would be wearing my shoes? What if the person who would be wearing my shoes wasnt born either? Is there really fate? If so, what does mine say? Why do we use umbrellas, when standing in the rain feels so good? What if i hadnt done that thing i did? Or that other thing? Would i be happier or sadder?What is happiness? Why are cats so cool? Why am i so dependant on some people? Why am i so lucky? Why is my head hurting? Why do i need answers? Why cant i accept it all?
I want answers. Life is finding questions, and bumping accidentally into answers. Unfortunately the former happens more than the latter.

Religion - Lead or be led.
Okay, before i start i must say, you must leave your religion at the door, otherwise youll probably get mad at me, cause im really critic om something as ambiguous and complex as religion.
First lets start defining religion:
A religion is a set of common beliefs and practices generally held by a group of people, often codified as prayer, ritual, and religious law.
(According to wikipedia.)
So, as you can see the main concept defines nothing concrete. Its not "a group of people following the dogmas of a certain entity", its a group of people thinking the same and doing the same stuff. My definition would be, a man made source of faith that determines what is bad and what is good. We need insurance, man is dependant by nature. We need something or someone telling us if what we are doing is right or wrong.
This subject was chosen cause of Manja (a friend) telling me to talk about how she considered "christianity the biggest and oldest witchcraft in history". At first i disagreed cause i thought witchcraft was those religions against christianity but then we cleared up. We are going to define the term "witchcraft": beliefs that have no concrete basis and cannot be proven in any way, pretty much like "magic". By this point some people will be like " :O HOW CAN HE DARE SAY THAT???" well, the thing is theres people who believe in evidence and things that cannot be proven wrong. And you see, in this way, almost all religions become something without a clear basis, all in a hear-say basis, all started by those who wanted to create the religion. Why? Because every single person on this earth needs something to believe in. Tell me, have you been into an atheist country? A country where the general religion is not have any. No, cuz there isnt any. We all need a sense of safety.
I was raised as a catholic, yet my family is one of those that lead, not one of followers, so we criticize and make our own decisions, so in my family theres no clear religion. Like as an example, we can take catholicism, as far as we know Jesus Christ could have been a guy who just wanted us all to be happy and treat each other real nice, and he died on the cross just to prove the point. But through ages the current biggest organization in the whole world, that goes by the name of the church, realized how gullible people are and how much power the could adquire. So they changed the whole story of he giving happiness to one of, if you dont support him youll pretty much rot in hell. In my opinion, this is a clear way of making people go to church and giving the church the power it currently has.
One day i was in a summer house with some people, and there were two guys with whom i agreed in everything, we had an almost parallel way of life. And we went into the subject of religion. One of them has a Jehovas witness girlfriend, and he was describing how the religion is. I was shocked. Apparently her grandfather said she wasnt her niece, just because she wasnt a devote Jehovas witness. He basically said she was dead to him, just because she didnt follow the religion as strongly as he did (because she IS a Jehovas witness, it wasnt cause she wasnt one, it was cause she didnt follow it strongly). I mean, how can people be willing to lose family because of a bunch of beliefs? I wouldnt even do it with a guy who i dont talk that much to, to just stop talking to him cause he follows Buddha and i dont. How about the case in which a girl finds the love of her life and he just happens to have a different religion and the parents just dont approve of it?
We've reached a world ruled by beliefs. People killing other cause of not following their beliefs. Even those who said "You will not kill.". The catholic church had the inquisition, when they tied philosophers up to stakes and burned them on the fires started on their books and writings, just because they had the nerve to dare and challenge the popular belief. The inquisition was just killing people who threatened their power. Don't believe me? What if a guy, a random guy, finds buried on the ground a proof, a proof that cannot be proved wrong, that Jesus Christ didnt exist? If the church found out about this before it went public, do you think they will come up to the guy and say "ohh yeah, all this years we were wrong, we are gonna clear all this confusion up" and go have a talk to the world about how all this 2000 years they were wrong? Ohhh nooo, they guy, the proof, and everyone with the knowledge about it will dissappear misteriously.
As a quick summary, religion is just an organization, and we should all learn to believe in ourselves. If we have those who we know truly exist all believe in a person who may or may not exist, then who will believe in us? To me, we should all believe in ourselves and the people around us. And we dont need someone to tell us what is wrong and what is right, we have the common sense to determine this for ourselves.
I finish with a quote:
"Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful [the Babel fish] could have evolved by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED" "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic."

That weird thing we call love....
Whats the deal with it? I mean, i've been trying to figure it out and its as complicated as learning a sport and as simple a using a paper clip, yet, nobody can manage it perfectly. I mean, is it hormones? Is it butterflies in the stomach? Is it just plain stupidity? or is it something else? Im a constant victim of it, so far it has brought nothing good to me yet i continue going to it. Maybe its a kind of masochism. This theory kinda makes sense. Ever wondered why the best girls almost always end up with the crappiest guys? and curiously enough, they almost always have the ideal guy nearby, who was crazy about her and gave up in some point, yet he always keeps a couple of the feelings deep inside him, and he goes around breaking girls hearts and he also knows the one girl who has the heart he couldnt break. You see, its kinda complicated yet obvious, at least to me. People are going to tell me: "maybe thats YOUR case, but certainly not mine". Well, to those people i say: "if it isnt well then tell me, cause id like to learn, but most probably it IS your case, so pay a bit more attention to your life".
Im trying to get to understand this, according to scientists, chemical reaction of hormones. To me, human beings are curious beings, and this has to be one of our most amazing aspects. I mean, nobody hasnt experienced it. Deep in our DNA its mandatory to fall in love. One who says that he hasnt fallen in love is either too young, or lying. Lately i helped a friend with a bit of love troubles. She wondered why i was SOO right and always found out the solution, to which i answered: "i just pay attention." I may claim i may know a lot about it, but another funny thing, is that even the most expert person always acts stupidly on it. So i may understand it all, but, i make the same mistakes in it. Maybe a guy who doesnt know anything can actually be a million times better than i am.
This all comes from filosofical thinking and mostly cause i went to a summer house with some friends, and one of em was drunk and talking about crushes. But me and other two friends started correcting him on everything, and soon we noticed how us three had the exact same thoughts about it, finishing each others ideas. We all made very good points like: "every guy has two friends, the casanova prick who uses girls and plays with them as if they were objects, and the guy who, yeah has its bad things, but overall would make a girl really happy, yet the one who finds the girls is the first one." Sad but true. I mean, logic seems to not apply to love, why the heck do we insist on trying to apply logic to it, its not something one thinks beforehand. In love, the one who thinks, loses. Theres pretty much only one very important rule, "always fight for what you want" and as you can see, its not only in love but life itself. If you always give up, maybe you havent found that which you feel the need to fight for. Sometimes, even giving up can be a way of fighting for something, yet this is the most painful and difficult of all the ways. Ask any guy/girl who has its love bound up by a girl/boyfriend.
It would be funny if like in video games you put the mouse over somebody and see how much life and magic he/she has left, we could do that in life but with real people and seeing their current state in love, it would read curious things: "in love with a girl who doesnt like him back yet loved by his best friend", "fighting with a girl he loves, and she loves him too", "heartbroken by a guy", "loves the guy next to her in math class", "loves the girl who looks at him funny during math class", "currently not loving anybody, but loved by many, and he doesnt know". Imagine such thing, it would be hard to be cupid.
So it all can be sumed up in only one question:
What is love?
