Feelings: 2019-06-17
Sometimes I think feelings are opposites, like happy and sad. It's hard to have one without the other. For a long time now I haven't really felt sad, I can get really depressed, like a deep pit kind of, but never just sad, and I think that has kind of stopped me from being happy as well. I don't really feel anything, I just do what I do to make things easy for me. I am completely selfish, sometimes I don't even think I feel love anymore. I think it started when I realized this is it, no afterlife, no mystic energies, our universe is what it is, and when we die we are simply gone. There is no morality besides what we make it, and we only make it to serve our needs. We are nice because it's easier to go through the world that way. Only thing I really feel lately is being upset or anger or hate, most other emotions are void besides the rare occasion. I feel sometimes I might be happy, playing with the kids, laughing or talking with Diana, then I "catch" myself and stop me from getting too happy, from smiling too much or being too crazy. Morality doesn't come from without, it comes from within, and is quite subjective. Because nothing we do matters, when we die all our thoughts are gone, our being, who cares if we leave behind children, they will die too and then what shred of memory of us is gone. We'll be reduced to a name somewhere, a footnote in a family tree, which will eventually disappear too, like all things in this universe eventually there will be nothing. Why does any of this even exist? People will say since there is no God then it has no meaning, but if there was no meaning to any of this then it shouldn't be in the first place, it either exists or it doesn't, there is existence, and eventually there won't be, so there must be a reason, even if it's beyond our comprehension. Time may be a construct of being within the universe, only known by those within, to be without may be to know the true nature then, as if there is no time then there can be understanding, if there is anything to do the understanding. How can something always be, what if the universe just does cycles of rebirth? Back into another big bang? Why did it start, but if it didn't start, was just always as is, then how? It must be true because I am here to think about it, in whatever form, so there is something, but what is something? I go from personal to vast, issues plaguing me either way. Can I find happiness again knowing the truth, and is there a point?
All have different views of right and wrong. Sometimes can be hard to come together. I think a big thing is just accepting others will be different and let them do their thing and you do yours as long as doesn’t hurt others. What most things boil down to, don't hurt others and they won't hurt you, do unto others. Because if we don't have that as a society and a culture then we can't have our individual fun for risk someone may ruin it, so we kind of have to collectively agree, hey I don't bother you, you don't bother me, and that's where everything comes from. Of course it's not simple and humans make it more complex over time, what is harm, what is subjective, do you let someone hurt themselves? What if they think hurting themselves is what they want? What if you can't agree if it's harmful to themselves. In allowing them to hurt themselves do you open up to others thinking it's a good idea, is that indirectly harming others?
I think that's where everything came from, in a way anyways. Our need to enjoy ourselves. Then it starts getting complicated, in enjoying ourselves we shouldn't stop others from enjoying themselves. Well where does that rabbit hole go? So we started off simple, then get more and more complicated, then there is a gray area, so we ask a third party to settle that dispute. Then maybe they get a bit wise, used to settling disputes, maybe they learn to be neutral to always be the third party, then they start making laws, don't do this or that, to limit how many disputes there are, derived from a natural law of sort. Then it keeps going until we are where we are now.

There is a Creater(God) as nothing cannot come out of nothing(bigbang theory). There is a purpose(Love). There is moral standart(God's law). Purpose: God wants everyone to be saved from punishment of their sin(transgression of God's law). God gave us conscience. We understand what is right and what is wrong, unlike animals that go by desires and needs only. We understand that harming others is bad and on the flipping side we know that caring for others is good. To do what is good can summarize God's law. How to get saved; Way to Heaven; eternal life: 1. First we must realise that we are sinners, have broken His law at some point or another: "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:" Romans 3:10 KJV "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" Romans 3:23 KJV 2. There is a punishment for sin: "For the wages of sin is death;" Romans 6:23(a) KJV Bible is not talking about physical death here which we will all face anyways. Have you heard of the second death? "And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death." Revelation 20:14 KJV "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Revelation 21:8 KJV We deserve eternal torment in fire and brimstone(Hell) because of our sins. 3. We are valuable in God's eyes, He does not want us to go to Hell: "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8 KJV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16 KJV 4. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died on the cross for our sins and went to Hell after He died. He paid for sins of the entire world, past, present and future so we don't have to. Then, on the third day He rose again, came back to life. "Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, ha

Acts 2:22â€-‬24 KJV 5. To be saved one must believe in God's love/His sacrifice/put their trust on Jesus Christ. One must believe His Word - acknowledge own sin and punishment, believe that Jesus served a punishment for us and rose from the dead on the third day: "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." Romans 10:9 KJV 6. One must remember that Jesus Christ ONLY can save us from Hell. Our salvation is obtained by grace through faith. It is a gift of God. Good deeds(works) cannot obtain Salvation as being a good person doesn't pay for already committed sins: "but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 KJV(b) "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8â€-‬9 KJV

7. Once a person believes in the heart that Jesus is their Savior, one calls upon the name of the Lord by saying the prayer: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13 KJV "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:10 KJV Prayer is talking to God, just let Him know what you have believed in your heart and humble yourself in thanking for providing Salvation and asking to give it to you. Ex: Dear Jesus, I believe that I am a sinner and deserve Hell. Thank you for dying for me and paying for my sins. I believe that You rose from the dead on the third day. I believe that you are the only way to get saved. Please, take me to Heaven when I die. Amen.

Please, let me know if you have any questions. P.S. "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13 KJV "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:40 KJV "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:18 KJV
