A Point Of View

Interpretation of life

Life starts off as a feeble, weak source of energy. That grows from within itself to create a rock steady, knowledgeable being. People can create bonds unimaginably strong whether it be through friendship or love.

Friendship is the start of happiness, to have real friends (not ones you just tag along with) is something that shouldn’t be regretted. Friendship can save you from the brink of something that you haven’t experienced before: hate, passion, aggressiveness, stupidity, foolishness (there is a difference) and more.

Love is something that can exploit these traits to nurture them into something beautiful. Love can be experienced by 3 main sources (among others): family, friends and someone who you love with a passion that eventually feels as though your heart creates scenarios and decisions; a wife/ husband, girlfriend/boyfriend or anyone else who gives you a sense of belonging to the world, in some cases it could be a God.

Through life you encounter many problems and questions. Each a barrier you want to conquer. Not all of life’s questions need answering however, if they did; no mystery would develop- life would be just a boring existence. Mystery leads you to explore your inner thoughts and feelings and also the world and its beauties.

Looking at a view of unmistakable beauty can fill your mind with awe/wonder and inspiration, the same goes with music. Listen to a song and your mood can change, give you ideas that, in turn, interest you in other aspects of life. Listening to someone can achieve the same affect and even something as simple as a hug can change a life from the point of contact. A lot of problems can be answered by, just; a simple hug but others need something different. To find an answer that plays in your mind with relentless annoyance you need to listen. The sound of nothing brings peace to you, a moment of feeling free and a sense that you are untouchable. These moments are important. Very important.

To be happy is a hard thing to describe as it varies immensely, for some it is a feeling of great joy, others is to just be out of a state of depression. Even though being happy has many meanings- to the mind it wanders, the point is nearly always the same, to bring the person out of a state into another that is better. Forgiveness can give you huge happiness as you are going from hatred or annoyance to acceptance.

Having a ‘shoulder to cry on’ is important too. Doesn’t matter who, but they are normally a person you trust with your life or someone who you would do anything for. This shoulder can give you confidence, it can breathe a new start… a new you into a body that may have once been lifeless.

Friends are people who simply are there for you and enjoy life along with you. Nothing else, they share with you a sense of needing to be there for you to help you, make you laugh, be the shoulder to cry on or give you something to look upon and think, yes; I’m lucky.

When you talk to these friends you have the urge to talk to them about issues not random chat. You may not necessarily tell them but you want to, you want to share the load that can, sometimes, make you feel like a worthless piece of cotton, but each time you talk to these friends your piece of cotton grows into a sturdy, strong, flexible piece of material. As all things, you need to be nurtured, that phrase you wouldn’t really associate with humans but it’s what you do whenever you help someone. Nurturing something is involvement and involvement can lead to… happiness.

Your life should revolve around 5 things. At least! Friends, Family, Loves, Thoughts and your Feelings.

You can ask questions about life, sometimes without an answer but asking questions are the root of all knowledge. You don’t just know everything, you have to find out. Trial and error. You will make mistakes, but don’t feel down, take them on the chin. Strive for more information, live life as though it was your last day. Don’t regret past opportunities, learn how to take them in the future. And if those opportunities don’t present themselves to you again, don’t look back in anger, look forward. Create new opportunities, if you create them your more likely to take them and admire them.

Life will have its highs and lows. It’s how it goes but the lows can only be a hindrance if you ponder on them and the highs can only be highs if you embrace them.

The people who seem to understand life are the ones who take a step back from its worldly goings on and sit in the background, letting it rush past. They wonder of it, they see it but they can’t grab hold of it and enjoy it to the full capability people experience every day. One day though, that will change; as they will realise what they are missing from other peoples points of view. When this time comes, happiness will be a permanent structure of the body with which sadness can’t break in. Let’s hope that comes soon then!

I Do


Haven't written in a while as i've had no material but hey ho!

Gay marriage. Apparently the act that came in whenever says that you can legally now marry the same sex HOWEVER you cant have a wedding. Same-sex marriage has been a debate for a long time now but it is still ongoing, and imagine will do for a long time. I only bring this subject up as in September my family and i have been invited i have been invited to a civil ceremony and i wanted, for some reason, to delve deeper into the subject of homo-sexuality etc (im weird okay! deal with it)

I found out today that being homo-sexual only became legal in the late 60s, which i think is crazy! In this generation homo-sexual and bi-sexual have become words that people dont, normally, flinch at. Yet this mindset has only very recently become wildly thought one.
For thousands of years teaching has proclaimed it to be evil and sinful. Christians have a real beef with this at the moment. Gay Bishops have split the church into cracks that they really didnt need as lets be honest...they arent exactly a prospering...organization?! not sure what it should be called. But no where in the Bible does Jesus or the big man himself (God if you didnt get that far) according the my source of all knowledge (mother) Paul talks about it a couple of times. So many Christians i think are being mislead here, this leads me onto: why can't gay sex marriages happen in churches??
We are a Christian country. We may have multi cultural societies with many religions. In fact probably all "mainstream" religions, but a Christian country we be. BUT...one reason that same-sex marriage isn't 'allowed' in a recognised place of worship are because of these other religions. As a country we can respect other people's beliefs, yet surely we must respect ours and also let ours grow and not be undermined by other peoples opinions. The law doesnt have to say that mosques and gurdwaras etc. will allow same-sex weddings. It can be specific: Churches will, if they see fit, allow and conduct same sex marriages. Simple. You'd hope. Hardcore Christians will always be on the case and shouting their mouths off about how this is a monstrosity to the name of their religion and, like many really annoying situations, the other religious groups will be up in arms! About how the government have been so religion-ist, and haven't included them into the act. YOU DIDNT BLOODY WANT IT!!!! anyway yes.

The concept of a wedding, i thought, was the symbolic joining of two hearts intertwined for eternity (eternity being until one dies) apparently. A wedding is not as soppy as that, according to my knowledge bank..who has the experience of such an event.. it is a stable set up for a family. ( i prefer my fairytale style option) This is another thing that defies a same-sex marriage, that two males can not have a child, and two females cant have a child that is biologically similar to them both (i'd hate to be in the spat between who got to have the child aswell!!)

The Human Rights Act says that your rights are:
  • The right to life
  • The right to respect for private and family life
  • Freedom of thought, conscience and religion, and freedom to express your beliefs
  • Freedom of expression
And the CRUNCHER
  • The right to marry and start a family.
Everyone has these rights, i will admit that actually being able to marry in a registra office is a great step forward. But i believe that more can be done.

In past times people have turned their nose up at such a thing, but who are we to judge someones feelings. We can give advice and our opinions, but in no way shape or form can we control someones feelings because our belief is that it is wrong! If you were told you couldn't marry the love of your life, i am almost positive that at that moment in time you would feel a hatred inside you that you would possibly never have felt before. I wouldnt wish that feeling on anyone and would challenge anyone in the world who thought otherwise.
It may seem illogical for such a relationship to take place...but who should care. i say should as there are many people who are.
It is their life
They are their feelings
It is ultimately their decision.

A wedding is supposed to be one of the best day of your life, people dream of their weddings in a church, with the flowers and the songs. You aren't even allowed religious prayers or songs at a 'civil ceremony'. Christians, once again, are doing what they do best...controversy. I'm sure they believe in equality. Why prevent a Christian the blessing of who they may believe in! Thats probably almost discrimination...'no you cant have God's blessing, cause your gay'. Maybe this is The Man Who Sued God:II, Starring Billy Connolly!

So once again how would you feel if you were Christian, and were told that you were defying your religion and testing God...if God made everyone in his image...then possibly God was a bit gay! Now wouldnt that be a revelation. It's possible....Dumbledore was outed!
