Somewhat Intelligent Design

Which makes you more upset... That I've decided to live my life or that you've wasted yours? Have all the dangers of life eluded you because you stayed nestled away in your comfort zone your whole life? Does the illusion of safety really outweigh all the experiences you could of had? You've made your choices and I hope you regret little and love your life but, it's YOUR life....not mine. Do not project your fears and worries on me and give me tips and advice about things you know nothing of. Don't judge me because I want to live differently than you. Don't judge me because it is not your place and this is not your life. I want to see sunsets and oceans. I want to see mountains and valleys. I want to be humbled by sights you've only seen in photographs. This is a great big world and I feel it would be a wasted life to not see as much of it as possible. I love you but... You've made your choices now let me make mine.

What if we are Gods? With the power and strength to alter this world at our will. Over generations we have been dulled down by the daily grind. Forgot to pass the secrets down to our children and now we have forgotten how strong we truly. We have forgotten about our power... We have forgotten we are Gods. Perhaps what we need to do is relearn an ancient way, we need to relearn who we are. We need to alter our vibrations and mind set and become more one with ourselves. Only after we relearn our powers we can unleash the Gods inside us all. Not a metaphor.... We all have an immense power within us. We all have the power to alter our "reality"... We just have to relearn it.

The 1938 stage play Gas Light, known as Angel Street in the United States, and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944motivated the origin of the term because of the systematic psychological manipulation used by the main character on a victim. The plot concerns a husband who attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment, and subsequently insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. The original title stems from the dimming of the gas lights in the house that happened when the husband was using the gas lights in the attic while searching for hidden treasure. The wife accurately notices the dimming lights and discusses the phenomenon, but the husband insists she just imagined a change in the level of illumination. The term "gaslighting" has been used colloquially since the 1960s[5] to describe efforts to manipulate someone's sense of reality. In a 1980 book on child sexual abuse, Florence Rush summarized George Cukor's 1944 film version of Gas Light, and writes, "even today the word [gaslighting] is used to describe an attempt to destroy another's perception of reality."

So often we dismiss past products so harshly. Food, Computers, Cell Phones, so on and so on were all trash. They sucked so bad! Though partly true it didn’t change the fact that they were stepping stones. Part of the path that has led us to where we are. Because of those products we have trudged forward and made bigger and better things and it’s also because of them that we have the honor of being stepping stones ourselves. Just a thought…maybe we should be a bit more respectful of the past and past products. Because soon, we will be the past…
