Blast From The Past: January 7, 2020

Tue Jan 7 19:39:37 MST 2020 Let’s talk about today than shall we? I’d like to think it would be a nice moment in time if we could simply get along with everything that happens in this life, yet I doubt it will. It’s a shame if you think about it. A real shame. But what are you going to do with any of it? No one knows exactly. So here we sit waiting for something better to come along, hoping for something to happen and allowing us to actually see what is real and what isn’t.

About

 What exactly is this blog about? Well, I haven't the foggiest idea. It's mostly random writings I've written over the years. Some are short stories I've written. There aren't a lot of those though. Others are just posts of my day-to-day interactions with the world.

Life has a way of letting you know you're alive. Sometimes that way isn't the best found out way possible, but it's a way. There's no reason not to believe that life is here for you. You are a part of it. So that's why I am writing this blog. I am a part of life, and I know it has things in store for me, so why not see what's out there.


Life Is Interesting

Remarkable isn't it, this life? One would think so. I mean if we had the ability to understand everything there was in this life we wouldn't have the problems we face now. We would be able to figure things out and this life wouldn't have the issues we are facing.

Life comes at us sometimes before we can fully understand why it's doing that. It would be nice to be able to understand something about this life, but as far as it goes life chooses when it will cooperate and when it won't. You don't choose how this life will turn out, fate chooses for you.

Don't be confused by that statement. You are still in control over what you do day to day in your life leading you to whatever path there will be. But you don't have a clue as to where it will take you. You don't choose that final path, you are but a traveler on a road traveled by many.

To figure out ones life, you must live it. No one can live your life for you and you cannot live your life vicariously through someone else.

About Us?

There isn't an "us." There's just a "me."

When I was in 12th grade, I had an English teacher that taught me to enjoy writing, reading as well. It wasn't anything I had been interested in before.

Since then, I've been immersing myself in writing and reading.

 

The Cat And The Dog

DreamSense is a simple place of dreaming, learning, and whatever else that comes to mind. Put simply it's a blog for whatever comes to mind.

Sometimes people have random thoughts that tend to come and go without their knowing. You don't even know you're thinking them until it's too late.

Kind of like a kitten just staring off into the distance. He doesn't notice there's a dog coming up behind him until it's too late. The dog sniffs the cat, the cat jumps and then sits there stunned for a moment or two deciding on what to do. Then comes that moment of clarity. The cat reacts. Either the cat runs away hissing or the cat fights. Of course the third option for the cat is to just sit there and see what the cat does to him.

The dog can react as well. Perhaps the dog just wanted to sniff the cat, maybe lick the cat. Or the dog wants to do damage. Whatever the case there are always lessons to be learned.

Life is a Journey

Life wasn't meant to be this way. We wake up every morning and try to get through it just to go to bed and wake up again the next day. Is that what we're thinking? Is that what we want? I'm not sure, actually I'm sure it's not what we want at all. Yet it's what we do. We are here to figure things out and try to attempt new things meeting new people. That's what life is about I think? I guess? Either way, here we are.

Now, if we wanted to do something a little different, we could. Life could be much different from it currently is. But, we have to accept that it could be different. Either way? It won't be useful to any of us until we decide that is what we want. But what do we want for real now? I mean, we could guess all day long what we want, but we cannot fully express ourselves for some reason. Does it matter? I'm not sure.

I'd rather not think about everything which could go wrong with this plan, but well you have to take into account all the different angles, don't you? Some would say yes, others would tell you no, life is just fine the way it is. Whoever has difficulties in life should find a way to take those difficulties and shred them to pieces or make them their own and figure out a way to enjoy every moment of life. I don't enjoy life, so I am one of those peoples.

What Is This?

Such a good question, what is this indeed? Well you see, it's like this. I think... maybe. This is pretty much a thing. A thing of wonders and amazement.

Maybe it should be pointed out to what this isn't. Yes, that would be such a better jumping off point, wouldn't you agree? One would certainly agree. All this agreeing though, will give one a headache. So no more agreeing!

So dreams... dreams have a way of making themselves manifest at the oddest times of night. Mostly when one is asleep. It's amusing how that tends to happen. You dream and then your mind goes to work. It has a way of interrupting your sleep, your thoughts take on a different form.

You might be wondering what all of this is, well it's a webpage. Wouldn't you know. Now obviously that's not the answer you were looking for. Unless it was? Then you're welcome. Yes indeed, that's all there is to this.

What could this be indeed... perhaps it is a story? Yes I like that thought. It might as well be a story...of life.

Just a website where I write what I like and enjoy. Ever have something you enjoy so much that you Just had to write it out? Yeah, something like that. There's no copyright infringement intentional. It's just a place where I put my writings.

I still don't think that explains what this site is about though. I'll have to figure it out and get back to you. 

Story Writing

I've been writing stories of various kinds since 1997. Only a few have been longer than my usual short stories and in chapter form. I've found that writing has been a way to relax, and get through stressful days.

Didn't Sleep

 What's the point of sleep anymore if I can't sleep? I don't think I slept any good last night. I was awake at 3 am wondering to myself, what on earth am I doing awake? Yeah, that happened. It doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, it's the weekend. So, I can catch up on sleep tonight. I don't have to be anywhere tomorrow, so it's a good opportunity to actually sleep for once. Whatever the case, I hope I'll be able to fall asleep and stay asleep. We will see what happens.

Temptation Bible vs Book of Mormon

In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?

An Opposition In All Things

Long has been the story told about how there must be an opposition in all things. From the pre-existence there was Satan, Lucifer the Son of the Morning. In the beginning we were with God in his presence. We learned all we could while there. Until the moment we couldn’t progress any more, we were unable to become like God. So, we were given the opportunity to come to Earth to gain a body. A Savior would be provided to atone for our sins enabling us to come back to the presence of God. The idea that an opposition must be in all things comes from 2nd Nephi: For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so, my firstborn in the wilderness, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. Wherefore, all things must needs be a compound in one; wherefore, if it should be one body it must needs remain as dead, having no life neither death, nor corruption nor incorruption, happiness nor misery, neither...
