Covenant Hearts’ Blog

To quit the discussion at this juncture is to quit thinking and “prove” your own point that there can be no conclusions on absolutes.

I come from a very different school of thot…while most ppl are in their beds sleeping I am a slave driver—pushing my intellect past it’s biases into the plane of absolute truths….

I readily admit when I am wrong…I have had plenty of practice…at 25 yrs old I have admitted being wrong twice as often as most ppl do by 50—thus I am four times further along in my intellectual development than most ;) obviously a math joke…with a hint of truth.

I am reformed, but I did not start that way. I am a Christian but I did not start that way. I hold to libertarian ideology but I did not start that way. I hold to free market economic theories but I did not start that way. I am in a box but I did not start that way…or I started in the same box that most ppl are still in, you can phrase it anyway you like, but I am a “truth seeker” and can easily detect untruths…I have a knack for it and have trained myself to do this for many years…

And I listen…that is my strength…ppl may not think I listen but I do…that is how I know so much. Only becuz I listen. I have listened/read as much as I can/could and sifted the truth from the lies…I have a working body of knowledge/wisdom and the gift of understanding…to understand philosophers and their dark sayings…

I have mathematical as well as visual acumen…I do not allow my own thots to cloud my judgments. I know pride…I have it, I’ve been horribly humbled. Jesus was humble, but he did not budge on truth.

I am not Jesus, but where I detect self-contradiction…I too will not budge…but I now have just come to the startling realization that to further discuss this with you would result in a loss of friendship before truth could be culled from the mess…

So goes a popular country song; an oft repeated theme whenever humans express their angst…

It would have been nice if our first parents had never sinned.  We would be ever-living in paradise, never knowing tragedy.  But alas this is not the case…It is what it is.

“To err is human…” that is to say that perfection is not achievable in this life…Enter karma, nirvana, heaven or whatever you think is or isn’t out there.  It is obvious to most people, that we cannot achieve perfection whilst embroiled in the throes of this life.

So what’s the point? Fate? Destiny? Pre-destiny? Make your own way? Well, I do believe in one absolute right path, but that’s another discussion for another day…

For my journey, life is about living for something outside of myself.  A life sacrificed for humanity. Leave this earth producing more than I’ve consumed-then will I have not been a dead weight to humanity.

It isn’t always rose-colored…Do the incongruities damn me eternally or is there “room” for errors?  How much room?  How much can I “get away with?”  Note that I do not jump head long into debauchery and seek to justify it…But there is a certain accommodation that I’ve made with my social environment…I do not ask if this is acceptable, as far as ethics goes; this is not. But as for a question of practical existence (what Jesus might call shrewdness), what is able to be glossed over?
