The Path of Damnation/Salvation

Tue Jun 9, 2009, 8:35 PM
I've been tossing around many themes of morality lately, its given me much to think about. In all honesty, im just writing as things come to mind right now however id like to share some thoughts with you.

Firstly is what i feel to be an understanding of a more final truth on the topic of morality. I've been raised as most of you have to understand the difference between good and bad. Evil vs Goodness. that steps on these roads lead to destinations of great contrast when compared to each other. but of late, its become much more difficult to differentiate the path i walk now. i no longer believe that the paths of good and evil lead away from each other, that in fact they run parallel like highways of life...side by side.

Hell and Heaven are quite real...but in my understanding....the concepts have been given a more metaphorical guise. Living life for the sole purpose of achieving a destination makes no sense to me...which is why if anything...heaven and hell are the descriptions of the realms of the human condition. The man who murders, sleeps with a sullied conscience...unable to find peace with the evil he has committed. while those who claim purity, bask in the satisfaction of their own doings. For me heaven and hell are the process of living through the emotions and events wrought by our actions. Escaping these frames of mind are possible however it is also relative to each individual. He who breaks free of the horrors of hell can be considered a greater or a much lesser human persona, how can a man simply cast away his demons or ask them to walk with him with hindrance....and still be considered human?...the same goes for those departing heaven.

Humanity or what we claim it to be, rests upon a weakly defined neutrality and for those cursed/blessed with a mind able to grasp the shape of things....holding our claim to humanity is a difficult thing to do.

I myself, am unable to shake free all the binds of my human nature, but even now as i write to you...i sit upon my ideals and views......a throne built on my own pride and self gratification, looking down upon humanity. both detesting the workings of us sheep...and longing to immerse myself in the vastness of our own terrible beauty. I stand amazed by the strength of our own, the endurance of the trials of life.

I doubt I could ever be anymore grateful for this life...this path

And regardless the paths we choose to walk down, i urge you....live life and taste in all its wonder. Walk down the paths of Damnation and Salvation with both eyes open and be anything you are able to be.
