Not like anybody is reading this anyway

The TAB key doesn't work. I won't do paragraphs. In blog form they just look like I am trying too hard to please. That was my rant on formatting. Now on to what I wanted to originally write in my blog post. I had a thought, I realized that I don't believe in god. I don't know any thing about science, and I don't even know if I can trust my self. Imagine yourself in a dark room. You are a little emotional and you are not sure why. Your parents are sleeping in the next room over in the dark, and you are trying to figure out the meaning of life. Lets pretend you are like me and all of the before statements about god and science and faith are true. You realize, like me, that nothing can save you. You don't have god to pray to. You don't have science to rationalize your existence, and you don't know if you can trust yourself to come up with some wonderful solution to solve all your problems. We then decide we can choose 2 things. Optimism, or being pessimistic about it; you can either pretend the problems are not there or you can wallow in self pity and go to sleep in your room and hope that the problems don't exist any more.

I walked you through that because I wanted to see if you realized something before you were done reading. Did you see that there are no specific problems I am mentioning? Maybe it was weird that you were standing alone in the dark trying to figure everything out all at once, but all in all we realize that there is nothing we need to worry about. Christmas is upon us and the tree is actually lighting the room in a red glow. Which makes you think about your favorite warm beverage, and sledding with someone you really like.

The question is, for me; who needs saving?

My life is perfect the way it is.

Rope

                           This word has some kind of negative connotation, like rope can only be used to hang someone... or draw and quarter them. Or like it references being tied up by someone with "unclear" intentions. I am not out to change that perspective in everyone's hearts and minds. I just want to use it  within a different context, with an entirely different meaning. Boy Scout leaders use rope to teach Boy Scouts how to tie knots. They even look at little pictures with step to step instructions on how to tie those knots in the correct way. Boy Scouts tie those knots in order to get the Merit Badge. A badge that shows merit. It says, look at me... I can tie knots, when in reality it's supposed to build up confidence in the young men.

                            Tying rope together or onto other things so that they can pretend to be a fisherman who needs to hitch his boat down at the docks; or an honorable soldier, serving their country by tying a rope that is used to hoist the flag of a nation onto anything that looks patriotic. There are other things I could say rope is useful for, but if someone I know is reading this. Someone who is very dear to my heart, hopefully knows exactly what meaning rope has for us.
