there was a documentary last night on arts central about the Davinci Code, and it got me all thinkin about god, and religion~ so i went n googled the whole conspiracy theory thing to decide for myself whether or not any of this was real...
there was pages upon pages of historical fact and speculations... words like the "Priory of Sion" & "Opus Dei" popped up alot... analytic references on how Mary Magdalne was the real 'Holy Grail', not to mention all critizim on whether or not there was some eliged secret msg in his painting of 'The Last Supper'~
i skimmed thru all of tat, & more... but i didnt understand anything~ i guess since im not really a religious person, i dont have much background knowledge to compare anything to~ but it was still pretty interesting... so i went n googled other stuff about Anthropology...
and, as i went on, going from page to page, clickin on link upon link... i noticed that a majority of all the content was mainly theoretical~ it was just, speculation upon speculation... & afterall, there was no REAL right or wrong ans, it was just made up of ppl's different opinions and idealogies of different situations, depending on wadever the subject at hand was~
like the Law for example, it wasn't just one guy that made up all the rules... it was a grp of ppl.. a majority, that sat down n decided wad was right n wad was wrong... and it keeps adjusting as the times change, as currency and culture alters~
but tat doesnt make it flawless, it changes, but it doesnt improve... at least not drastically~ i would say that the study of humanities rely mostly on culture to determine its next move... wad would be considered acceptable then, might not be said the same now... whether or not wad music is 'cool', or wad is considered as Art was probably percived in a different way in, in a different civilization of a different time~
and it wasn't just about our diversities, there was more too it... something bigger... there was space and the stars, Genetics and behavior~ Collaborating with cultural significance, the natural & social science of humans have purpose & intent to unlocking wad we as human beings really are..
Is it wad u do that defies us as individuals? most of us would like to believe that... but wad if it's not? wad if destiny was conceivable? wad if fate was in play? would we even be able to comprehend such an allegation?
hu's to say its not, n if so, hu's to deprive us of knowing it? Who's to say that we dont have the right to know the meaning behind our existance... wad if aliens really existed? if u knew the answer, would u tell everyone? afterall, ppl have the right to know... hu's to say anything about anyone?
this reminded me of a conversation i had with vic, about why Wars were started... which then lead to a deliberation on President Bush's administration and ended with an indept disscusion on Hitler's life as a child~
anyway, the point being, had different choices been made, had President Bush chose Not to retaliate agains the 911 attack, would Americans still be protesting FOR the war instead? i mean, i'd be pissed if the goverment doesnt do anything when my country's attacked.... or would they be content with the decision of peace? had 911 not even occur, would there still be terrorism? if Hitler didnt start WWII, would the world be a better place? or would some other conflict just take its place?
is it really fate that lead to these events? is it destiny? were these event inevitable? or were they all simply just moments of bad decisions making?
which ever side u choose to believe in, there'll always be a moment where we'd decided that, 'hey... maybe there is some unknown force tellin me wad to do'.. but then again, maybe there isn't~
knowing all this just makes u see how trival the problems in our lifes are... if u got a "D-" for ur math quiz, if the person u like doesnt like u back...
so wad... is that something to cry over? perhaps... is it something to die over?.. hardly~ compared to the world n its mysteries, our personal problems are insignificant because we dont realise wad goes on outside of our lil lives.. how could we?~
n its ok tat we cant... maybe we're not suppose to~ we already have such a hard time dealing with our own problems, let alone everyone else's... so, if the girl i like doesnt like me back, so wad... sure i'd feel sad n disappoint n wad not... but knowing how big the world is makes it seem manageable...
then the problem doesnt seem so big anymore...
which is just fine~
