Karma

Im sure you all know what karma is but for those of you who dont, karma is the consequences of your actions. Say you do something hurtful to someone else, its the idea that because you did that then something bad will happen to you. I for one beleive in karma, but not everyone does.
I am going to try and get you to believe in it. Think about something that you have done to hurt someone. Has anyone hurt you in that same way? Im sure someone has. And if it has not happened to you, believe me it will. I know many people who have said that they do not believe in it and are totally against it and then once something has happend to them then they really see what karma is all about.
I used to not believe in karma and just think that stuff just happens. I used to treat boys like crap and then finally one did that to me. That definetly was my karma.

Evil

We have been talking in class about God. And the statement always comes up about if their is evil in the world how could their be a God, especially when God says he is all good and all powerful. I feel that just the fact that their is evil in the world would prove that their is a God. Because think of all the miracles that he does. And God also says he gives us our own free will. If their was not the evil in the world that their is then we would not have our free will. The opportunity to choose between what is right and what is wrong. Just because there is evil does not mean that there is no God. because if there was no God then their would be no good and everything would be evil. God gives us the chance to choose for ourselves what we want with our life, whether it is good or bad we have the choice.

Their is definetly evil in this world and some very messed up stuff that happens. But God is their in the end. And many people would not say that it is enough to make up for all the evil that happens on the earth. But maybe it does. Just to think about how amazing it would be in heaven. Obviously I do not know what it is like, but my faith lets me believe that in the end everything will be worth it. Just like you have to go through a storm to get to the rainbow. :]

Ethics

We have been talking about ethics this week and I thought what everyone said was interesting. First, how do we say what is moral and what is not moral? Because there are so many different situations that would change whether or not something is moral. Is something ever unmoral? I was trying to think of something that would always be unmoral and it was very difficult. Of course raping someone is unmoral, but what situation could this very disgusting act be okay? What if be raping one person you would save the whole world? I know this is very extreme situation and would probably never happen, but everyone else would say it was moral then.
Now that we say we cannot define morality very easily, people ask if God is under the moral code. I believe that he is not. God made this law. He is all good and cannot do anything wrong. And although He allows bad things to happen He would not be the same God as we know him to be. Then he would just be our controller and we would not have a choice in anything we do. So basically we cannot even define morality to one simple thing because if we say it is what you feel in your heart to be right then many horrible things would happen. For some people do not have the best of hearts and feel that some things that are very crude is fine to do unto others because they feel it is right, or the other person deserves it.

I believe everyone should just think of others feelings first, and that would be a good start. I know it does not work for everything but it does work for a lot. :]
