holy rattlesnakes around your feet...

well today was yet another succesful day of accomplishing nothing. Okay well what i mean is that is what it felt like. for me at least when one reflects on their day they see these 'empty' events that really have no significance whatsoever when it comes down to the big picture, life the universe and everything, stuff like that. But i'll just let you know i think that everything is apart of this bigger picture. every bit of your life is important somehow. when it comes down to it, everything happens for a reason. what's the reason for me writing this blog every now and then? well personally because i believe i can tell people what im thinking, or influence people to do whatever, etc. but there's things, seemingly miniscule things that might seem to have no point whatsoever. but wait, do we really know everything. obviously not. we struggle with proving just about everything, and naturally humans need for physically and knowable facts in order to believe. but everyday we live in faith, in some sort of another, whether or not you apply yourself to religion. you have put faith in just about everything you do, and most the times you have little to no actually knowledge about what you are doing or why you are doing *this is everyone* when i went to bed last night and since i have been going to bed for the last 17 years i have some faith that the bed i lay upon will support me and give me comfort. i have a blind faith in every resturant i have ever gone to. i have faith that they wont give me some harmful bacteria laced food. i have faith that toyota will build quality cars so i wont fall through the bottom, or that the engine wont combust while driving. the list goes on. we have become adapted to our everyday blessings, to our everyday routine and have developed a sort of blind faith that it will continue as plan. so what i struggle with is how a unblind faith, a faith that makes itself evident as the wind among the trees, is so unattractive to a society where blind faith is the norm. : )
