Weird thought while watching Heroic Age: Overcoming the Fates Episode 16 -
all those "gods" in stories seem to have no emotions-- they make wise decisions. humans, on the other hand, blow up planets (in the anime) and overtake races by force and wreak violence and blood and death.
or so I've heard. But so many mistakes we make as humans! when you compare our actions to the imaginary races that could exist, to aliens and angels, to what we could have done, I think-- WOW! we sure do make a lot of mistakes. Is there really any excuse for them?
Our emotions... our passions, excitability, easily-swayed brains, and lack of self-control-- are these things our negative traits, our faults?
are emotions sin? emotions are what separate us from God-- like death does?
no. emotions are God-given (I mean God the Creator :) enabling us to enjoy art and color and to savor anger, pain, beauty, love-- instead, make your decisions based half on emotion and half on emotionless logic. Then you choose, knowing how you feel about the subject: 50% you want to choose because of how you feel and 50% on what would be the "best" thing-- then you can choose.
can we, tho? what is perfectionism? is it really possible to do better? mistakes just keep happening and happening and ...
we can't fix mistakes of our fathers and mothers. we can't fix mistakes of our brothers and sisters or friends-- not even our children.
But EACH DECISION a person makes important. It's not about the "BIG PICTURE" here. The journey is NOT the means to an end, not if you want a good ending. Think about it as a journey and think about each one of your decisions.
Because what you do affects everyone else. you're alive, aren't you?
butterfly effect.
