Are our lives set out before us? Are our decision the result of our own intuition or are our decisions already predetermined for us before we ever even think about making them?
I know this might be a strange comparison, but I remember watching Men In Black (the first one) and at the end of the movie it turns out that all of planet Earth is simply 1 door out of thousands in an alien's laboratory (or at least that's how I remember it). This comes across as completely absurd of course, but if you think about it, we do not have a definitive explanation of how we came to be. I mean how do we know that we do have free will? what if we are controlled by little aliens or some outrageous concept like that? I just really wish I could get some answers from something or someone. However, I realize that many people do not worry about this because they have a good religious background and faith that they rely heavily upon for unanswered questions. This is not me. I accept that Jesus died for me so that I might be able to live a life where everything I do that is bad might be forgiven and be able to move on. But that doesn't really provide me any comfort in the fact that I still have all of these questions.
Many people might read this and say that I do not have faith, but that is far from the point. My point is what if I was meant to write this blog and think these thoughts and say these words and get a set response from the people who read this? Then my life would have little meaning in the essence of freedom and all of the sunshine and rainbows and happiness that our society tries to shove down our throats. I wish that I could just live a happy life free from worry. I guess I could, but then I would not be able to do the things I enjoy doing later on in my life.
On a similar note, those who are in love and are able to share their world with another who understands them and is able to give them their love, they have little to worry about concerning whether or not we experience predestination. I only wish that I will be able to share my life with somebody and know that all of this does not really matter in the grand scheme of things. But in the meantime, these thoughts will continue to haunt my mind and cause me to go crazy.
I hope you understand where I am coming from.
