Date Posted: 16:23:33 09/27/04 Mon In reply to: Mael 's message, "More....(read reply first)" on 11:28:37 09/27/04 Mon I do believe in God, and have never believed in evolution. Evolution has always been way to far fetched in my mind. Your post did catch my attention though, and it does interest me why God would want us here in the first place. I hadn't thought of looking there for answers. When I get a chance I'll check out Barnes and Noble, and see if I can pick up one of those books. What section would they be under? About The Man in the Mirror, can you give a little more information? It sounds interesting. After reading all that you have, what do you think the point of existing is? Maybe the point of existing is to find a reason to exist. Finding one's place in the world we were given. Finding hope. After having grown so close to my last girlfriend, almost a year ago, I thought I had it all figured out. I thought the point of existing was to find someone you loved, and who loved you back. It's a feeling like none I can describe, and when it's taken away it burns. The pain of emotion is one of the worst I have ever felt. I think I'm afraid to get another girlfriend because I don't want to feel it again. I'm also afraid of not getting one, because I don't want to be alone anymore. The only feeling I remember is the pain, even though I know there was a better feeling of fufilment before it. Do you believe in predestined paths? Things happening because they were meant to for a reason? It seems like it would interfere with the free will God gave man, but then I got to thinking. Maybe there are predestined paths. The thing is, you have the choice whether or not to take yours. For example when I went out with Geanie, the whole thing pretty much ended because of one thing. We got in an argument because she wanted me to go to church with her, and I didn't want to. So after that I walked away from her and her friend when I saw them later, because I didn't want to talk, so she broke up with me. My predestined path could have been to go with her, and not only get closer to her, but to God. I turned my back and walked away. After this weekend I have felt a little better. I talked to my Dad, but I was worried about him getting mad. I told him that I'm not really interested in Computer Science anymore, and would rather stop taking those classes and figure out what I really want to do. The videogame industry is packed. There are hardly any jobs available and it would be a struggle to get in. As with any job the best way to get in is to know someone there, but I don't. I'm not going to spend my life looking at text that two years (or more) later will become a game. Anyway, my Dad was totally fine with it. He said that he has been at a job he has not enjoyed much his whole life, until this past year, and he would rather me take 10 years to find what I want to do than to get into something I hate. My only problem now is passing these classes. These advanced programming classes are hard. It gets down to making databases, and storing data in specific locations in memory. When your not interested in something it's alot harder to concentrate on. Hmm...funny as I was typing this, my C++ teacher from school called. I had missed the midterm last tuesday, it was my Mom's birthday. I hadn't realized it was the day of the midterm, he didn't announce it during class. I read it on the class schedual today. He called and asked if I could come in early to take it, I thought I was out of luck. I don't know why but things always seem to work out for me without me trying. I don't think I've ever put my full effort into anything in my life. This brings me back to the predestined path thing. Maybe God tries to help people, with things working out for them, or not working out, to try and get them on the path he had chosen for them. I dunno, maybe I just think too much into things. I'm thinking about getting into music, or taking alot of english classes. I was always did well in english classes. Journalism might be something to look into. I also scored very well in the english placement test, leaving only English 101 as a requirment for the general education requirment for a degree, after I choose my field.
