On Time
What is it?
Now, this is a mixed philosophy-religion article. So give me some
slack here. Nobody will agree with all of this. Or almost nobody.
Time is one-dimensional for us humans. In fact, we can only continue
onwards, so it could be argued it's non-dimensional, merely an
infinitesmal blip on a timeline. This is how I believe we are not only
predestined, but also have free will. Also, we cannot change our past,
nor guarantee our future. We will never make a time machine because all
matter exists in an infintesmal blip and now is not the same as it was
when you read the last sentence.
To God, time
is multi-dimensional. He can move it around, look at it from all
angles. It's like watching a video on an universal scale. He can see
anything, but we, in our infinitesmal blip, make our own decisions to
do what we do how we do it. Therefore God knows what will happen to us,
but we also have free will. We're the streaming TV version, He has the
DVD.
The Joys of Music
Music is mankind's best weapon. It deals no physical damage, nor does
it kill a mind. It is addictive, yet one loses nothing from its
responsible use. It can be beautiful or harsh, and all are wonderful.
It can have words implied or it can have words spoken over it.
Music is the best tool to heal. It can restore souls, regrow, build up, and enlighten.
Music is the best way to recreate. It takes no effort to listen, but can be judged consciously.
Music is the easiest thing to make. All it takes is a mind and a tool, and you won't sound like a fool.
Music can calm or incite. It can be used for times of peace or tempests.
Music is God's gift to us, a way to communicate beyond all barriers and recieve pleasure without harm.
Movie Review- The Matrix Trilogy
Almost everyone knows about the Matrix. It's a trilogy of
action-adventure-cyberpunk movies that got mainstream attention. They
feature gun battles and bullet time prominently, which leads to
testosterone packed action. It pretty much throws out the laws of
physics (read as: Uses Wires), for its major kung-fu scenes. While
there's some action-packed swordfights, they are replaced by mainly car
chase scenes, with plenty of debris.
Neo,
"The One", sets out on a quest to change from an accountant to the
savior of an universe. I'm gonna keep my religious background from
contributing to this review from here on, but he's a Jesus
representation. Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, and their small group of
hackers run through the Matrix, trying to free as many people as they
can from the machines, who have trapped them in the Matrix. It's
original enough for a viewer unfamiliar with Cyberpunk, but for those
of us with more Cyberpunk experience, the writing's a pure cliche. It
gets five @'s, simply for its awesome presentation.
