If you’ve ever paid attention to bodies of water, you’ll notice a distinct difference between water that’s sitting still and stagnating and water that’s continuously flowing. Some bodies of water without an outlet—even if they have an inlet—the water just sits there and slowly accumulates. It tends to grow and collect all kinds of unsavory things: algae, cattails, muck, people’s trash and whatever else. Basically, it becomes a swamp. The water starts to smell bad and no one wants to have much to do with it. Even the ducks are somewhat selective in this regard. They just look at it and say, “I know we’re supposed to like swamps, but seriously?” Then they just keep flying to a little more attractive habitat.

It’s interesting, but unfortunate, to note that these swamp-like bodies of water can be accurate representations of our lives. Sometimes due to neglect, inattention, or even just greed we can tend to collect all that life-giving water for ourselves. We can have a great deal of talent or wealth in many areas—even materially—but not much of it flows out of us for the benefit of other people. It’s all dammed up and has nowhere to go. We then become like that figurative swampland. Since the water’s not moving through us it begins to stagnate and grow and collect various kinds of bad-smelling flora. We can even get used to this. But even if we don’t smell it, other people can.

On the other hand, if you’ll notice a fast-moving body of water, like a creek or small mountain river; they don’t have this problem. The water is constantly flowing, constantly moving, and any chance for bad-smelling elements to accumulate is pretty much non-existent. This water tends to be very clean and pure. No bad smelling elements can grow because it’s moving too fast, and any impurities that were in it tend to get cleaned out by the water’s constant movement. This flowing water may not even be as large or comparable in quantity to the large body of stagnating water, but it’s spread so efficiently over a broad area that it gives life to an entire forest region. Plants, animals, and people all benefit from it because it’s not kept all to itself, but it’s generously allowing that life-giving water to flow through it. These are the flowing waters that don’t stink.
Impotence condition has become a common levitra properien unica-web.com problem, which is caused by various reasons. And now we have dozens of viagra on line prescription http://www.unica-web.com/FRANCAIS/2013/president-letter-nov2013.html generics that the big pharmaceutical company warns against as being low in quality and not delivering the same effects and benefits of viagra. Kamagra is a solution to overcome from sildenafil cheapest unica-web.com over masturbation bad effects. These generics have become popular because they have same formulation and potency as the brand medicines sildenafil tadalafil but at much lower prices and often without prescription.

If you’ll notice in this analogy, it’s not even the amount of water that’s the difference-maker here, but what that water does with itself. Similarly, whatever talents, gifts, or wealth we have to give—however small—can make all the difference in the environment around us. Those people we come in contact with every day are directly benefitted by what we have to offer. Keeping it all to ourselves doesn’t benefit them. It doesn’t even benefit us because we become like that swamp water that starts to stink. The more we are held up and bound up within ourselves the darker our lives become. But as we reach out and give of what we have the more light shines through us. It’s all about being in the flow. If you’re constantly flowing it ensures you won’t become the kind of water that stinks.

I like watching movies and sometimes reading fictional stories. However, I haven’t always fully understood why I like them. Of course, I like them just for their pure entertainment value. In some ways they can be a mindless escape from reality. It’s even surprising how easily you can get wrapped up in a fictional story even though you know it’s not real. You start to care about the characters and get emotionally invested in the narrative almost like you were the one living it. But when I really think about it, what I really like about a good fictional story are the lessons I can draw from them and apply to my own life. It gives the story meaning and makes them useful to me.

I know it’s funny to think about watching some movie that most people take as pure entertainment and trying to derive some life lessons from it. But that’s what I find myself doing more often than not. Admittedly, some films are almost completely devoid of anything that could resemble a teachable moment. Some are so empty of content that you couldn’t draw any kind of lesson from it other than that the movie was a complete waste of time. But I don’t find that to be the case most of the time. Even some of the more fun-oriented films have something you can learn from them. And then there are those rare gems that are filled with little nuggets of wisdom.

I remember one particular film I really enjoyed just due to the lessons I could draw from it. The film was called The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. This story featured the main character, Walter Mitty, who found himself constantly escaping into this world of ridiculous fantasy in his mind instead of living the life that was right in front of him. This world of make-believe he had developed was a direct result of his fear of living life and taking chances. He was so afraid to step out and live his own life that he built up this fantasy life as a replacement. What happens in the story, and the way it plays out, is that he begins to do some things that are really out of his comfort zone and even extreme by most people’s standards. He takes a trip to Iceland, ends up falling in the water and fighting off a shark in an attempt to get on a boat. He skateboards down a long windy road only to have to turn around and narrowly escape the eruption of a nearby volcano. The story then culminates with him climbing the high Himalayan Mountains of Afghanistan to locate his friend.

These adventures were entertaining in themselves, but due to the circumstances of the story and the situation it places him in, he had to do what he, otherwise, never would have done. Those things that he thought he could never do, he did. And as an added benefit, he found that his mind didn’t have to escape into the fantasy realm anymore because he was finally living a life without fear. He had learned through experience that the life he was always afraid of living was worth the risk. I still like that story.

What is hope? Well, hope is really just a confident expectation for something good to come to pass. It means you are placing your expectations on good outcomes in the future. Sometimes our expectations come true—sometime not. But there’s a degree of hope that really goes one step further than your average run-of-the-mill hope. Sometimes, in the face of daunting odds against our favor, we cling to a hope that is all we have left. We hold onto that hope because we are now at the end of our rope.

I don’t feel like our singular word for ‘hope’ in English does the term much justice. There’s something about our word for ‘hope’ that indicates a level of doubt. Other languages seem to have stronger terms for ‘hope’. For example, there are a number of words in Hebrew that can be translated into our English word for ‘hope’. One term is ‘qawa’. This term indicates a sense of trust, with the noun form of this term, ‘tiqwa’, also meaning ‘trust’. ‘Batah’ also means to ‘trust’. In Greek, there is the term ‘hupomeno’ which means ‘to wait’, ‘to be patient’, ‘to endure’. ‘Elpizo’ and ‘elpis’ are also common usages that mean ‘hopefully to trust in’. So, these terms seem to go beyond just your ordinary hope that we tend to think of.

If you talk about ‘hoping against hope’—this is an idiom that indicates you are expecting something good to happen even though you have little reason to expect them in the face of such dire circumstances. This ‘hope’ seems like a secondary hope which is a kind of back-up in case the first hope fails. It’s kind of like your first hope got a flat, now you have this hope in the trunk of your car—which is just a ‘spare donut tire’—and now you have to place all your hopes on that. It’s something that can get you to where you’re going, but you don’t want to drive over 35 mph on it.

This idiom has been used on rare occasion in different places. J. R. R. Tolkien used the phrase in some of his writings:

“Doubtless the Orcs despoiled them, but feared to keep the knives, knowing them for what they are: work of Westernesse, wound about with spells for the bane of Mordor. Well, now, if they still live, our friends are weaponless. I will take these things, hoping against hope, to give them back.” – Aragorn in The Two Towers by J. R. R. Tolkien

Sorry, you probably need to read that in its full context to get its full meaning. Like, maybe, the entire novel. But it’s something that indicates you are hoping when it seems all hope is gone. That feeling can come to us at different times in life. It can come unexpectedly. Even when we least expect it. But we do have reason to still be hopeful. One of the worst things we can do is to give up when things look bleak. Sometimes, in fact, it’s when things look the darkest that we are closest to our biggest breakthrough. That’s when we need to ‘hope against hope’.

The ability to come the right conclusions depends on our ability to collect the right data. Something that gets lost in our pursuit of truth is the discovery of all the little truths that will lead us to the final conclusion. We want to arrive at the conclusion without bothering to take the journey to get there. And, inevitably, what ends up happening is we sacrifice the truth for a conclusion that fits our narrative.

Arthur Conan Doyle’s character, Sherlock Holmes had a famous quote: “I never guess. It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.” Although this is a statement made by a fictional character, and written by an author who lived over 100 years ago, it’s one that bears an undeniable element of truth. We do often come up with false conclusions simply because we have predetermined the outcome. This is through either inherent bias or just flawed thinking.

When we have a predetermined bias in one direction, it inevitably compels us to want to steer the evidence in the direction of that bias. We are then satisfied to come to a conclusion that appears right to us while it lies in direct contradiction to the facts. We gain too much satisfaction from arriving at a false conclusion as long as the conclusion is one that we like. We too easily claim victory for crossing the finish line without going to the work of getting there.

Of course, then we also do this through a number of logical fallacies. We can conclude that because things are sometimes true that they are always true. We can conclude that because one event followed another event that the previous event was the cause. We can conclude that because things are true in part that they are true on the whole. But these things are just as bad as having a predetermined bias, and will just as easily lead us to the wrong conclusions.

Sometimes we feel free to make judgements of others as though we had perfect knowledge of their situation. But I would estimate that is rarely, if ever, the case. To think of how easily we judge other people in light of the limited knowledge we have of them is pretty astonishing. It would be laughable if it weren’t also so tragic. Even if we spent 24 hours a day with someone their entire lives, we still wouldn’t have perfect knowledge of their situation. We still wouldn’t understand their thinking or their heart. In these cases, it appears we are prone to both predetermined bias and logical fallacy.

Invariably, this happens with our judgments of others, but almost certainly this happens in our pursuit about the meaning of life. Those existential questions that plague every human being are maybe the most prone to our false conclusions and also have the biggest implications. The truth won’t generally just fall in our laps. It’s usually something we have to search out. And the place we start can make all the difference. It’s important that we don’t make assumptions. It’s important that we allow the evidence to lead us where it will, regardless of whether we like it or not. It’s also important that we recognize our limits in understanding everything. So, to start the journey we have to start with the right question. We start out the journey by asking ourselves, “What do I know to be true?”

Sometimes a small influence can have a great effect. The thinking that we have to be a major force in order to make a major difference doesn’t always ring true. Sometimes the smaller force can have greater impact because it’s underestimated. But it’s not just that it’s underestimated. It can be effective because of the profound impact of the ideas and the people presenting them.

In the 1950’s, there were a group of young Chilean economists who studied at the University of Chicago. They were known as the Chicago Boys. They quickly became converts of Milton Friedman’s free market economics, who taught at the University. This group, upon the occurrence of a coup in Chile (some taking high level cabinet positions in the government), were let loose to implement these free market principles—wholesale. This small group of University of Chicago graduates, which constituted about 25 Chileans, had a profound impact on this country. With the desperate state the country was in, the leaders were looking for something to turn the country around. The results were impressive. Chile had an average of 7 percent economic growth rate between the mid-1980’s and 1997. Also, with 48 percent of Chileans below the poverty line in 1988, this had decreased to only 20 percent by 2000. The Chilean economy quickly became the strongest in South America. This idea, which started from one person, influenced a small group, which changed the landscape of an entire country.

You can debate who was used in a small way to make a big change—Milton Friedman or the Chicago Boys. I guess you could say they both were. Either way, the principle is the same. Sometimes things start small and grow from there. They have a kind of ripple effect. They don’t start with a big impact, but the big impact comes later. Those things that change the world usually start as ideas. Unfortunately, this can happen with bad ideas as well. But if we’re intent on clinging to the right ideas we can make a larger impact than we sometimes think.

You can’t always predict how things will play out when you take a small step in the right direction, but you can predict what will happen if you do nothing. It’s sometimes best not to look at the big picture if it’s going to prevent you from doing anything at all. A lot of times it’s easy to get stuck in an all-or-nothing thinking pattern. You can tend to want everything to be OK before you do anything. But if you don’t do anything, you’re impact will continue to be nothing. You can’t play the odds on your impact in life. You can only act on what you know. You do the best you can and go from there. Who knows, maybe you’re small impact will have greater influence than you ever imagined.

An accusation often made about people of faith is the idea that faith requires you to suspend all reason. That it’s just a blind faith and you follow it aimlessly regardless of where it leads you. But true faith has to be judged and discerned. It’s not just a check-your-brain-at-the-door belief. There are reasons to believe it, and evidence to support that belief, even though you don’t understand everything about it. It’s not a faith that goes against reason, but one that merely goes beyond your natural reasoning.

People of faith often get mislabeled as non-thinking individuals. A religious belief is rendered to be a relic of the past. That was just from an era where people didn’t know any better. Now we have science and we can verify and prove why things are the way they are. People in the scientific fields who hold to no religious belief often think they have a lock on the truth because they are “people of science”. Yet, is this really true? Scientists, themselves, don’t understand everything about science. There are still a lot of things beyond their understanding. In this, they would have to readily admit that they have a kind of faith as well. It’s just that they have put their faith completely in science instead of God.

What’s interesting is that the work scientists do often ends up supporting the existence of God rather than undermining it. While they cling with a death grip to a purely naturalist view they find themselves being drug along a path that would rationally lead to a belief in God—sometimes kicking and screaming. While being drug along this path, they do this by looking everywhere but where the evidence leads. This inevitably compels them to generate more outlandish theories requiring magnitudes of more faith to believe than just admitting God exists. Many theories such as evolution, the multiverse theory, and alien planets would fit this description. To be fair, I think many atheists consider these theories to be crazy. I would say that many theories make such a leap of logic that they are a bridge too far for one to even make the journey.

The complexity and design of the world we live in inevitably ends up pointing to a designer of that world. A person with faith in God has reasons to believe in God even though he doesn’t understand everything about God. And no one understands everything about anything anyway. We go with what we know and leave the rest to faith. That’s really what anyone does with any worldview. It’s a belief based on reason. Although, some on the naturalist side are coming up with a faith that is less and less reasonable. As some have said, and I would have to agree, “I just don’t have enough faith to be an atheist”.

Evil doesn’t always come in the form we think it will. There’s a caricature of evil we have set up in our minds that even evil itself must laugh at. You wouldn’t invite an army of darkness into your front door if that’s what it appeared to be at the outset. Many false religions in the world present themselves as the paragon of good works. The outward skin of it looks appealing, but its insides are rotten to the core. It won’t show you its inner workings right away. That comes later, once you’re in so deep that it’s hard to find your way out.

If you ever hear people tell their stories about coming out of a cult or a system of false belief, you often hear them tell about something they thought was good at first, but then soon learned about the dark underbelly of the system they had become involved in. They didn’t start out with a deliberate malevolent intent. Their intentions were good. But good intent, when not weighed in the balances of truth, can often lead to a path down the wrong road.

The main tool evil uses is deception. Therefore, if it’s going to present itself to people, it’s not going to rear its ugly head in its true form. It’ll be something that appears attractive to people. No one invites a rattlesnake into their house. Evil can’t show its true face if it’s going to gain entry through your front door. It would rather elicit a written invitation and then weaken you from the inside until you are too weak to fight back.

It’s admittedly difficult to always spot evil when it first appears. It can take further investigation. And another of its methods of deception once it gains entrance into your life is to change your mind about what truth is. It happens in stages. Once you trust a deceptive voice, then it can use that trust to tell you other things that aren’t true. It can use distortions of facts, half-truths, and outright lies to get your mind in line with its agenda. Black becomes white, white becomes black, and what used to be good is no longer good. And making judgements about good and evil is no longer even seen as good. Why? Well, quite simply, because evil owns all the other territory but that one. Evil owns every false belief, of which there are many. But it has no standing on a ground involving absolute truth. Evil’s ground is one of shifting sand. It can’t compete with truth.

Why am I saying all this and describing it in such abstract terms? Well, because this seems to be the direction our world is heading down today. Absolutes are rejected in favor obscurity and confusion. Definitions are changed to mean whatever is convenient at the time. If it fits your agenda, you can make the facts say whatever you want. It’s not an argument based on an honest search for the truth; it’s an argument based on a rejection of truth in favor of every false way.

It’s easy to get into a bad pattern of behavior. We do this when we take on activities that give immediate gratification, but then pay the negative consequences later on. It’s interesting, it seems that the amount of reward and fulfillment received by an activity is directly proportional to the amount of time and effort given to that activity. Put another way, we can chase after everything that would give us immediate gratification, but we wouldn’t lead a very rewarding and fulfilling life. Those things that are the most rewarding are rarely immediately gratifying.

That tub of Haagen-Dazs you’re eating right now is a good indicator that you’re not making the wise decisions. Sure, it tastes good right now, but you’re going to pay for it later. Maybe not tomorrow, or the next day, but most likely next month when you’re tipping the scales with an extra 5 pounds. For some people, this defines their life. The track their life has taken is a direct reflection of the choices they’ve made for immediate gratification. It’s easy for us to sit and think, “I know I should take out the trash, and mow the lawn, and vacuum the house, but instead I think I’ll binge watch my favorite show on Netflix.” Then, once we’ve awaken from our slumber in the recliner, we’ve gotten through another five episodes, but the house is still dirty. “Well, can’t do it now. Gotta get to bed. I’ll get to it tomorrow”, we say. So, as a last resort, our old friend Mr. Procrastination steps in to save the day.

It seems we all have a choice: reward now; pay the price later, or pay the price now; reward later. If we can get ourselves to see and envision the benefits of delayed gratification, we would be surprised by the stark contrast in our lives and the different track it would take. You can grab the immediate rewards if you want, or you can put in the effort now to reap the rewards of a meaningful and fulfilling life later on. This is why people go to school with all the cost and expense of years of hard work: they’re building a foundation for something better later on.

There’s a road less travelled. It’s the one that involves making the hard decision, but it’s also the one that’s most meaningful and fulfilling. Those things that appear so attractive right now become less and less attractive as time goes on. I admit, it takes some courage. Sometimes we don’t just grab what’s immediately available out of laziness, or just sheer selfishness. Sometimes we do it out of fear. We’re afraid that if we give up what we can have right now we might never reach the summit of fulfillment later on. But it takes faith. We have to believe there is something greater out there than just the here and now of immediate gratification. We have to want something more than just a material existence.

It’s striking how a good environment kind of promotes itself. There’s something of a domino effect where you gain a positive momentum in positive growth that is hard to stop if it’s properly nurtured. A positive environment can sometimes be the difference maker for individual growth. It’s not just that one individual on their own, but the health of those around them that helps contribute to that individual’s growth.

I was mowing the grass today, and what I noticed about a healthy lawn seems to apply to us as people. What stood out to me about this lawn was how thick, green, and healthy the grass was. I thought to myself, “Wow, a weed couldn’t grow in this environment if it tried. It would just get choked out by all the other healthy grass.” I mean, this lawn is on par with most golf course turf. It was that good.

Then I noticed the neighbors grass—not a healthy environment. You could pretty much tell where the property line ended because that’s where the weeds began: crabgrass, creeping charlie, dandelions, and a few bare batches for good measure. This was the veritable calico cat of lawns. Every color and variety was represented. I don’t know, maybe that’s what he was going for—the natural look. But regardless of the intent, the negligence was apparent. Weeds, left untended, promote more weeds. That was the lesson to be learned here.

But one thing to think about is this: you could just focus on killing off all the weeds, or you could just focus on growing a healthy lawn. You could get rid of all the weeds, but that’s still not going to get you the rich, green lawn you’re looking for. It seems to me that if you set your sights on growing healthy grass that the rest kind of takes care of itself. Just like grass can’t prosper in a toxic environment, neither can weeds prosper in a healthy environment. I think that’s the idea behind Scott’s Turfbuilder. I don’t know. I’m just guessing. But that healthy environment promotes the growth of healthy individuals. If it’s healthy enough, the weeds won’t like it there and will get up and leave. Well, in reality, they’ll just get choked out, shrivel up, and die since weeds can’t walk. But you get what I mean.

What’s true about grass is true about people as well. Sometimes we can be fairly healthy on our own but have our health affected just by the toxic environment we’re in. But change our environment and we once again become healthy. Sometimes that toxic environment is other people that just have a tendency to bring us down. Other times that toxic environment can just be the things we allow in our lives that have a negative impact on our thinking. And sometimes we might be our own toxic environment. The toxic environment might be our own thought processes. Put another way, if something in the room seems toxic, and you’re not sure what it is, it might just be you. In that case, changing our environment might start with changing ourselves.

This rush we have towards acceptance isn’t really acceptance at all. We seem to be willing to embrace all ideas—even the really bad ones. We have transmigrated what should be our attitude towards people and have applied them to ideas. This is a fatal error. We do need to be accepting of all people—their cultural differences, their character traits, their appearances—but not their bad ideas, or flawed ways of thinking. We need to have the freedom to call bad ideas: ‘bad ideas’. For when we accept all ideas, it makes the truth more elusive, and your likelihood of finding it becomes less and less. In fact, this line of thinking we have now has almost ensured it: absolutes are shunned; plurality is embraced.

I’m not sure where this type of thinking began. Maybe it goes all the way back to kindergarten. We were at a tender age and feelings were fickle and pretty easily hurt. Teachers scolded us for causing anyone else to feel bad, and rightly so. We were still learning and hadn’t learned anything of substance yet. We hadn’t learned the truth or how to arrive at it. This was a fertile place that allowed ideas and imagination to grow and develop. But as we grew older we learned more of the truth that taught us we couldn’t just color outside the lines whenever we felt like it. There was a framework and context of reality in which our thinking had to move and operate. These absolutes weren’t some malleable thing that was subject to the whims of our human will. We had to learn to work within them. That’s what happens when we grow up. We become adults and feelings might get hurt, but at least we’re holding onto the most important thing that matters to everyone—the truth.

But what have we done today? We have now taken the principles of kindergarten and made them public policy. To put it in the most graphic terms, our governing bodies are now a big kindergarten class. Feelings are primary; thinking is secondary. The formula goes like this: If it makes somebody feel bad, it must not be a good idea. That seems to be how we arrive at truth nowadays. But how an idea makes somebody feel is irrelevant. If it’s not in line with the truth then it’s not in line with reality. We seem to be willing to accept bad ideas at the expense of the truth. Then with all this diversity and pluralism we end up with anything but the truth.

We need to come to a basic understanding of things: we are adults now, kindergarten is over, and it’s time to be serious about recognizing reality. We seem to think that laws on behavior and spirituality are subject to our own individual will. But what part of the known universe works that way? If we can all agree that there are laws that govern our physical universe, that there is a framework we all have to work within, that there are absolutes, then it’s reasonable to think there are similar laws governing our moral principles.
