Did you know that those who intend to break the rules and laws set about today are not afraid of digital rights management? Did you know that a person who is accustom to breaking the law and shooting people with a gun will not be worried about a new gun law? Do you think a rule is going to all of a sudden mean anything to someone who cares nothing about the law in the first place? Did you know that any encryption can and will be broken, any copy protection will be thwarted and it is guaranteed to be a level playing ground shortly after any encryption or copy protection is invented? Did you know I could do anything on the internet with full knowledge that no one can track me because organizations do not cooperate or work together? Did you know that anyone could do that if they knew enough?
Where does that leave us? If less and less people believe in God, who will settle all accounts, and bring about people to experience their own values, then everything is ok, as long as we can get away with it, righ? If all the rules in the world can be gotten around at some point in time, and people only care about getting caught or not, then how can order be kept? Crime and punishment, yay, how far do you think that can really keep things going? One police officer per person, maybe that would work, but who would police the police, because I am sure there are just as many law breaking law enforcers as there are law breaking people in the general public, percentage wise. Don’t you think we would run out of money fairly quick to pay all of the law enforcement? Throw them all in prison or jail, someone might say. Do you know how much money that costs just to keep those going? Don’t you think something is missing from our equation, because if you really think it out, and follow how things are going, it does not quite work out.
I think at some point maybe some focus should be put on teaching people why it is best to follow the rules. Do you know why the rules are the way they are, or where they come from, or even why it is best to do things a certain way? I am exploring that myself. It seems that somewhere along the line, love and truth come into the picture, along with justice and good. I am no hippie, and I have a very different idea of love than what I have been hearing the world scream since childhood. I had to take some time to define things in my life, like sex, love, feelings, truth, right, wrong, and the differences of each one. I had most of them confused, and wrongly connected to each other, some leading me to another, and in wrong orders. Without God in my life, or in my world view, I think it would have been really hard or impossible to define a lot of these points. Love is most simply defined at its most pure by this, if you are willing to die for someone, then you love them. Love is not a feeling or an accident (falling in love is a little off), it is a choice, and feelings are involved, but feelings should not be your lead, or you will eventually fall out of love, and then leave. Feelings are wonderful, but they should not guide your life any more than which way the wind blows. Steering back on course, I think we take so much for granted. We are living in a world that is graced by the benefits of principalities and values and we have forgotten where it all originated. If each of us would only get a glimpse of what the world would look like if everyone held our own values, we would have to rethink things a bit. We need to know where we have come from, the origin of the good laws we hold, and we need to understand that we came from God, who designed and created us for a purpose, who knows what is best for us as a master mechanic knows his engine, and has graced us time and time again with priceless information on how were were intended to function, how things were meant to be and be done, and we should be able to make the clear connection that when things are not done the way they were intended to be done, we run into problems, ultimately leading to destruction.
Hah, as if I have all the answers. I don’t, but I would hope that people would take a moment and think about it before they have no other choice and the clear natural results come knocking.
