It's hard to write strong, passionate, moralistic blog posts on a regular basis. The reason for that is such moments of "enlightenment" of "fresh thought" don't exactly come once every fortnight or regularly in any time interval. Most of the time, life just simply carries on in its characteristic silent, casual way. If you ever take a look at some vlogs ( video blogs) this point will make itself clear. So with that said, I will now say that today was another casual, lazy day in the summer holiday of 2010. I spent the afternoon watching some vlogs on youtube, vlogs like talking to strangers on the net; give one a sneak peak into the lives of others. I'm not sure why I've become involved in such activities over the last year or two. It's just that .. and this may sound strange ... I'm fascinated by the fact that others live such intricate lives as well. Sometimes we get so stuck in ourselves that we fail to truly acknowledge the complexity of other peoples lives and minds, sometimes other people feel so "distant" from ourselves because we are locked into experiencing only our thoughts, our minds. But others have dreams too, they too look at the world and analyze it, judge it, they have secrets, and perhaps they too have a sense of uniqueness ; that they are different somehow. It is this fact that makes it so difficult to truly step out of the ordinary. Feelings of being "special", "extraordinary" are illusions of the mind, and not just my mind, but everyones, it is a kind of deception brought about by the local nature of our mental faculties. It is this deception that keeps us from being united, from working together for goals greater than ourselves. After all if we believe that we are the "special" ones, our focus will naturally turn to acts for the betterment of our individual being rather than the rest.
Thats where God has been so vital to our civilization ; the belief that there is a being who is truly greater, more "special", more complex than ourselves, that our acts should serve a greater purpose than our own individual profit, our acts should serve God and God is served by helping others. God has prevented mankind from anarchy. But still there is division on our planet a "coldness". I believe that Science provides a cure to our division. What we build through the use of Science and technology become our Legacy, mankind's Legacy, and "Legacy" too is a uniting idea ; a belief that we are working to produce something that will leave its mark for all to see, that a part of our complexity will become a concrete part of the physical world rather than just a phenomenon in our minds. It is for this reason that I have for a long time wanted to form a group of passionate individuals. It is time we build our Legacy.
