Security

I've worked a long time in Information Technology and in that area of the world security means allot but I find myself asking today is there anywhere security doesn't mean allot?

As people, we are always looking for job security to know that tomorrow if we go to work the job will be there.

We look for emotional security to know that the people we love also love us and will always be there, and of course physical security, that no one is going to harm us.

So as you see we really aren't very complex when you look at it, there are only a few things we want, so why is it so hard to get them?

The simplest answer comes in the form of emotions, hate, fear, envy, jealousy, spite, selfishness, greed.
These more negative emotions also drive people to do things that will result in making someone else lose their security.

I find it amazing that we talk about right and ethics yet most people no more understand them than they do the physics.
Both are simple subject if you only stop to think about them, but sadly we never give ourselves the time to think.

Adults?

In the dictionary, the definition of an adult is a person who is fully grown, but if I think closely about this I don’t know any adults because if you take someone to be grown to the level of meaning mentally then there isn’t one adult on this planet.

This I think might explain why when we look around is we see such childish behaviour, countries acting like children pointing at one another and say “be he started it”
But this is just one example, another example is the emotional blackmail that is placed on people by family such as but if you move away we won’t see you, It’s been my observation that people don’t seem to ever seem to see what is best for others might mean doing something you don’t want.

So I ask a simple question is it too much for us to grow up mentally as well as physically?

I don't believe I'm asking for the impossible just the reasonable.

The question

Someone close to me recently ask me “with all these questions I ask, does the answers I get change my mind” well ultimately yes, but before forming an opinion I like to hear many points of view and with the comes better understanding both of the question and the answer.

You see it’s not just the answer that’s important but the question too, the right question can give you the right answer however I’m getting ahead of myself.
When asking a question I keep in mind that I don’t know the other person's point of view and remain open to what they have to say while humming “counting blue cars” in the back of my mind so that I remind myself to be open and not stop them too quickly… after all, I have my option of the world too.

Why am I humming “counting blue cars” I can all most hear you say it from here… well really the answer is simple like most things it has a meaning to each person and to me the line in the lyrics “Tell me all your thoughts on god” acts as a reminder that we all have a point of view, I also find the view that god could be a woman a refreshing point of view since so many religions seem to have it as a man.

"Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla
Must of been mid afternoon
I could tell by how far the child's shadow stretched out and
He walked with a purpose
In his sneakers, down the street
He had, many questions
Like children often do
He said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God
Tell me am I very far?

Must of been late afternoon
On our way, the sun broke free of the clouds
We count only blue cars
Skip the cracks, in the street
And ask many questions
Like children often do
We said,
Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God,
Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far -
Am I very far now?

It's getting cold picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place
Our clothes are stained
We pass many, cross-eyed people
And ask many questions
Like children often do

Tell me all your thoughts on God
'Cause I would really like to meet her.
And ask her why we're who we are.
Tell me all your thoughts on God?
'Cause I am on my way to see her.
So tell me am I very far?
Am I very far now
Am I very far now
Am I very far now

Art

Art means something different to everyone, from music and paintings to sculpting and play’s

But the general idea of it is to express and idea or feeling, sometimes to go as far as inspire a feeling. Yet in most art it is merely mimicking reality, so the question I ask is why do we go to a museum looking for beauty and emotion when clearly it is all around us, artist have proven this to us time and time again in their work.

So try to see the beauty in the world around you and take the time to view it, this planet is a truly wonderful place so take the time to see it, and find the beauty in it.

Life is out there?

One of the questions that people often ask is “are we alone?” Is there intelligent life out there in space?

I’m just going to say YES because the odds are that there is.

To date more than 50 billion galaxies been found so far and that’s just the ones we can see from here, each one of those has more than 5 million planets capable of supporting the kind of life we know, that’s not even counting other kinds of life.

However, this shouldn’t worry you since in the last 70 years of space race we are no closer to leaving our solar system than we were back at the start.

So to cut a long story short it’s unlikely this will change your life in some big way, as unless they come to us we sure as hell aren’t getting to them anytime soon.
