Mr. Anderson.......(matrix reference)

It's been a week since I've been on here. A week has seven days. A week has no astronomical benchmark. A year is one revolution of the Earth around the Sun. A day is one rotation on the Earth's axis. A month is one cycle of the moon. There is no reason that a week is seven days. We could call a week eleven days and have thirty-three weeks, but apparently that isn't cool. I suppose then we would have a workweek of seven days and four days of weekend, just to keep things proportional. Though in truth you would have to have eight days of normal days and then only three days weekend if you wanted to keep things exactly proportional. Do the math, it checks.

I have thoughts. Thoughts are cognitive sequences that often include ideas. Thus, I have ideas. Some ideas are good. Some ideas are incomplete or muddled. Some are terrible. Others are scary, the ones that I hope never come to pass (!!!Lord of the Rings!!!). These ideas aren't capable of being eradicated, though. Like a child stuck in a bad dream, experiencing the same blood-curdling horror over and over. And over again.
























And then over again. I'll get to depressed if I blog with that same tone, but you get what I mean. Bad things are necessary for there to be good things, so there's no sense trying to get rid of all the bad because assuming you achieve the impossible by succeeding, you just destroyed everything that is good in this world because there is nothing to contrast it. And the theory that you could create a society which only has evil in the form of parking tickets or not recycling is also impossible. Sorry to rain on your parade, Democrats and those who are hopeful for mankind, but there never will be a society (at least on the mass scale and even on the micro-scale there are problems) that is completely free of crime, discrimination, pain or suffering. It simply will not happen. That's so depressing to think about. Imagine if there were no devil. Would there be a God? Why does God get capitalized? If there's no devil there is no hell, there are no demons, no underworld. Without the underworld where do the evil people go? And if there's only heaven left there's no cosmic counterbalance to keep it holy and pure, so heaven could turn into a strippin' bar and casino and still maintain the title of heaven. You can't have one without the other.
