The unknown

The unknown is a scary thing.

Everything not done becomes a what-if in life.

There are two purpose to this post.

The first being is implore everyone to pay attention to the news.
Know what is going on around you.
Know what others will do that will affect you.
If you can read different sources then what you know will not be as bias.

Second is the what-if's in life.
If you are always thinking about the what-if's, then you are not living.
Sometimes what was not done is the best, because the expectations and anticipations do not change. There is no dissapointment because of something not meeting your expectations.
This is not to say, that one should not live and be afraid to live.
It is only saying not to dwell on the what-if's.

I wish everyone well, and to take care of yourselves.

With or Without

We are so involved with our minuscule problems.
With things that sometimes that doesn’t even matter.
We waste time that we could be spending with our loved ones,
and take for grant all the things we have.

So many people are so unaware of the world out there,
and they don’t even know it.
There are people struggling to survive every day.
While we are just here arguing over things like what color shoes to get.

Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Do erasers make mistakes or do people?

Do cars kill people, or do people kill people?

As I drive about Houston, I see accident after accident on the streets. I have even seen some happen before me. So is it the cars that kill people or is it the people.

If it was the cars, then why are the cars not liable for the deaths?

So what makes guns any different? It is not the gun it self that kill a person.It doesn't just get up and shoot someone.

When cars are poorly operated by their operators, then they cause accidents.The same logic goes with guns.

On the side note, and as a chance to introduce who I am, I would like to point you can not convince people based on emotions and beliefs; however our laws are based on emotions and beliefs. Point in case, we believe it is wrong to take a life, therefore as a society we creates laws that state murder is wrong.

I believe the only way one can convince someone else that an idea is wrong is through philosophical deduction. One can say “God says it is wrong”, but for someone that does not believe in God, that means nothing to them.
