This explains among other things the human desire to be lazy. However all things bear fruit to one extent or another and it is the desire to be lazy that has led mankind down the evolutionary path to technological excellence. Most of mans advances from prehistoric to the present came about due to his desire to create a world or environment that makes life easier but he has done so at a cost. This cost can be summed up in one word ,complication. I believe that the complications of life today drive the average person further and further from the connection we have with our spirits. Everything in life is relevant ,for example: if you’ve never experienced cold or warm then hot has no meaning If you’ve never experienced bad then good has no meaning All things in life are appreciated by how much effort was put forth to gain them, in other words most things gained with no effort are rarely appreciated which brings me back to subject. Our advancements as mankind has been efforted by a few and enjoyed by all but truly appreciated by very few. We as people of our time take far to much for granted and at what cost? In the modern world effort is fast becoming a forgotten word therefore appreciation a lost thing. Our spirits are what is inside us that connects us with the things that are truly precious, that which separates us from the animals. The first that comes to mind is the sense of morality that all humans are born with but not all take to the grave with themselves. From the time we are very young we all have a certain understanding of right and wrong that we didn’t get from anything we are taught. You cant explain it its just there, that nagging little voice, we gave it a name: our conscience. As we grow older and more worldly we learn to compromise with our conscience, to justify. As time goes on we might learn to ignore our conscience, turning the blind eye so to speak. The most practiced of these exercises eventually doesn’t hear the voice we call conscience at all and loses all connection with his or her spirit. This individual has just become the most dangerous animal on the planet ,he lives for himself with no regard as to the effect he has on others whatsoever. Right and wrong is a matter of interpretation to be sure, what’s wrong for one might not be so for another. I believe this to be a true statement, not everyone has the exact understanding as the next person and circumstances may vary for example: A man comes home to find an intruder in his home threatening the safety of his family and kills him. Is this murder, I think not. The act of even murder is open for interpretation however crimes or wrongful acts against the spirit are not. So for the purpose of relativity we’ll call wrongful acts against the spirit, sin. I interpret sin as any act that is committed in the spirit of wrongdoing, in other words you do it even though you know it is wrong. Christianity teaches the wages of sin is death. Lets understand this for what it means, the penalty reflects the true depth of the act in other words to do something even though you know it is wrong is truly to betray your spirit and yourself. If you honestly believe that crossing the street anywhere but at the marked crossing is the wrong thing to do and you do it anyway then you have sinned . If you honestly believe that taking your neighbors car without permission is wrong and you do it anyway then you have sinned. If you honestly believe that taking your neighbors life for no good reason is the wrong thing to do and you do it anyway then you have sinned and the penalty for all of these acts is the same because in spirit the act itself was the same. In spirit you knew what you were about to do was wrong and did it anyway and for the act of betrayal towards yourself and your spirit you reap your reward. This understanding brings us to the conclusion that what’s wrong for one might not be wrong for another, Its simply a matter of an individuals beliefs. To be true to thy own self is the path to follow.Time is precious no two moments are alike, each is a memory never to be forgotten be they good or bad.As we grow older you hear more people say, including ourselves that time seems to accelerate. Time itself stays the same ,a minute is still a minute. However it is our reference of time that has changed as time goes on ,for instance : a small child cannot comprehend waiting for anything for a week, month, year because these increments of measurement are large portions of this Childs point of reference or his life, whereas they are nothing to an elderly individual who’s reference is much longer and these increments much smaller. This is why we suffer the illusion of accelerated time. Unfortunately most of we mortals don’t feel as such until so much of our precious time has passed without consideration as to the quality of its spending. When we are young we carry a sense of immortality, even when there are others passing away all around us. Its this sense of immortality that leads us to carry on as though there is always enough time left for us to make amends for our trespasses. As time goes on and the trespasses mount we file them further and further back in our memories and eventually hope they end up in the forgotten file. As we approach the end of our lives we search for the meaning of ourselves and try to embrace our mortality, often in doing so this file opens from time to time and haunts us. Some will find the courage to make amends for these trespasses while others will take them to their graves. Obviously we cant go all the way back to the beginning to make things right so we try to do the next best thing, we make peace with ourselves! Far greater than being forgiven by anyone is being forgiven by yourself. It is a gracious thing to go to the source of an infringement and ask to be forgiven but it is not necessary, let me explain : one has stolen from his neighbor and goes to him with a confession and asks to be forgiven but is denied, does this mean he is not forgiven? I don’t think so. The piece of mind gained from this action might be worth a lot to ones conscience but does not achieve the goal of reaching peace with yourself. Finding it in yourself to forgive yourself is the key to closing the file forgotten. We have the power to free ourselves from the shackles we have created for ourselves, we and only we...
