What is a sin?

What is a Sin?

A sin is an act that violates a moral rule.. It is normal we need  a mass of rules to live  in  harmony with other  humans.. Not having a rule or moral law .. it would be chaos  .. Not all characters are alike.. Some characters or personalities have the tendency to acquire the knowledges and the rule  according the  roots and the culture where they living .. besides the world has the tendency to  have   relations closer .. economy and policy.. it has some  small  bond diferents.. like Chinese ppl love to eat rice, but european ppl barely eat rice.. one example.. So im asking that.. what is a sin??A sin is an  act  that we  always hurted or violated a law or someone.. But a sin can be something more serious frightener .. if we  talk about religion or what religious people  thinks about a sin.. for Christian people .. a sin is something so hard and bad.. it is offense against to  God and our brothers, which  bring so harm, in some way.. a sin it can be It.. something that can bring harm.. for everyone even the own sinner.. For  Christians a sin is not only offence to God but who refuses to obey the laws of God ,. it can be in thoughts and  actions.. and they separate it in some kind of sins.. mortal sin and venial sin.  To the Muslim see the sin as anything that goes against the  commands of Allah but they teach that sin an act and not a state of being, one the other hand Buddhism does not recognize the  idea  behind sin, but believes of  karma, whereby suferring is the inevitable consequence of greed, anger an delusion known as the three poison.


It is the briefly description  about sin, but i will make this question.. what is really a sin?? is it  a sin to steall and give food who is diying by hunger.. Is it a sin to commit adultery when our partner doesnt loves us anymore and ignores us??? Is it a sin  to like having  the same stuff of our neighbour has??  Well there are so many questions which  we could  develope about sins.. because it seems that, sometimes we commit a sin, we might  not had  wanted  to do ,   we might not had   other way , some  situations might  oblige us to commit a sin   .. 


nevertheless   we can say  that too , a  sin can be a lesson , lessons which  can be so  harsh and rough  consequences.. maybe we can think about it.. when Judas had betrayed jesus.. he had commited  a sin.. the greediness  or  the scare or even  his own personality was insecurity,, after he had commited  that  sin, he had deceived his friend.. Jesus.. he saw what he had done.. it was like he  had dropped someone into the death. someone, who had been  an innocent.. dont you think that  sin was so heavy for Judas?? Dont you think after he had  destroed the life of someone.. he had destroyed his own life because  he wasnt able to live anymore.. his own  conscience was heavy... So Judas had paid  for his own sin.


 In fact, what is the really  a Sin.. act that we violated  rule.. or it is own conscience will be violated???  Think about???

WHO IS YOUR WORSE ENEMY....YOUR CONSCIENCE??

  It has been said that conscience does not stop you from doing what you shouldn't, it just stops you from enjoying it.

I'm not going to go into a long explanation about what conscience might be.  It has been mentioned in religion, philosophy and psychology and in is a deep issue.  The simply understanding of conscience is that it is the part of our consciousness that makes judgments, and distinguishes right from the wrong.

The well-known neuroscientist Antonio Damasio has shown in his research that emotions play a central role in social cognition and decision-making including decisions about moral judgements. Damasio considers conscience an aspect of extended consciousness, which incorporates the search for truth and desire to build 'norms' and ideals for behavior.  Almost everyone has a conscience.  It is now known that those without the ability to form moral judgement typically have some kind of neurological disorder.  Numerous case studies of brain damage have shown that damage to specific areas of the brain (e.g. the anteriorprefrontal cortex) results in the reduction the ability for moral reasoning. 

Here is how conscience makes.  Imagine that you are a person of modest ways, with simple job.  One day a man appear to you and makes a proposal that can make you a lot of money, but it includes doing something very wrong, something that is in conflict with your inner values.  As you ponder the idea, and the rewards it will bring, you understands that you can have succeed with the plan without getting caught.  Someone with high levels of integrity would refuse to participate in the plan, but what is right and wrong is not always so obvious to us.  Sometimes ours judgements are clouded by temptation.  If you decide to say yes, and go along with plan, you may get away with the wrong doing, and also make a lot of money for your efforts.  But this is where the conscience becomes an active voice with in you.  Conscience pertains to self-scrutiny: conscience involves a person’s examination of one's actions, and connects with sentiments of self-evaluation, such as guilt, shame, regret and remorse. Your conscience will always accuse you of what you did. You will try to forget it, or look to justify your actions to yourself, but it is always there to remind you of the truth. 

 In the 1990 movie  "Flatliners," a group of medical student decided to  prove that there is life after the death; temporarily they  shut down or "flatline" their heart and brain functions to briefly experience clinical death.  The experiment is a success but they begin to face a horror too.  Something from their past returns to their minds and they started to live in two different worlds, the real, and imagined in their conscience.  One of the medical student discovers that it is their conscience that is accussing them what they did wrong in the past, and only forgiveness can make them free of their horror.  The lesson here is that the things we do against our nature remains in our conscience. The guilt remains welling up inside of us and can consume us.  Our conscience can haunt as like a ghost.  We become our own worst enemy.   

This can work in reverse as well. A conscientious act is when we stop ourselves from doing things against our morals.  A conscientious objector is an individual whose personal beliefs are incompatible with military service, or sometimes with any role in the armed forces. The reasons for refusing to serve are varied. Many conscientious objectors are so for religious reasons—notably, members of the historic peace churches are pacifist by doctrine. Other objections can stem from a deep sense of responsibility toward humanity as a whole, or from simple denial that any government should have that kind of moral authority.

Conscience can be a part of our moral judgments, helping us to take right actions.  But it also has a long as well memory and it does not let us forget out misdeeds.  Ultimately we pay for all of our the bad actions in one way or another.

Think about it.

I couldnt forget the beautiful quotes of my friend Delphinus Resident.. when i read it.. touched  my heart so i have the pleasure to show these in my blog: Thanks Delphinus.

Someday you will learn that not all men are kind, not all men are true. But have faith in the person you care about and love him unconditionally. For every lie there is a truth. For every hate and anger there is love. ?

Someday you will question, why do we love if we don't get anything in return? Why do we suffer  to save our friend?  You will see that your mind, heart and soul have no price tags. And that it's always worthy to sacrifice for someone who means the world to you.

RUDE AND NASTY PEOPLE IN SL....

                                                                             

RUDE AND NASTY PEOPLE IN SL....

It seems to me that many people like to behave this way (RUDE & NASTY!)..Now days it's easier for some people to  have that sort of an attitude...it also to some degree gives people a bit of status, power , and control within the game by creating fear within others, but what they don't realize is that although people may fear them these same people also detest them..If these same people would try to be more kind and polite to others they would get much more statisfaction out of this game and  in their own personal lives...They would begin to be admired by others and find they have much more status then they do by being a complete ass...This actually saddens me to know that people like this exist in this world...apparently they have no respect for other human beings but more important they have no respect for themselves and will never truely be loved by anybody...A world without love is basically living in a true hell..a hell we all can only imagine exists...This is my personal opinion of course...A phychologist on the other hand may describe people like this as being sociopaths or neurotic to the point they are truely a danger to society...If this was sociological I would be describing the behavior of society and the different cultures..etc...Im not here to try and explain the science of it or its phylosophy...I am only here to give you my point of view  for I have witnessed this first hand and have also been a victim of it myself...One last thought..If nature gives us so many beautiful things in life why are so many people living  with such hate and anger for other fellow human beings...If you only sat and thought for one moment all the pleasure you would receive by giving pleasure to others...what a wonderful world this would be...SERIOUSLY THINK ABOUT THIS !!

Writer of this month

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Gabriel José de la Concordia García Márquez (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡaˈβɾjel ɡaɾˈsia ˈmaɾkes]; born March 6, 1927^[1]) is a Colombian novelist, short-story writer, screenwriter andjournalist, known affectionately as Gabo throughout Latin America. He is considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literaturein 1982, and is the earliest winner of this prize who is still alive. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in his leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on, he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha; they have two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.

He started as a journalist, and has written many acclaimed non-fiction works and short stories, but is best known for his novels, such as One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) and Love in the Time of Cholera (1985). His works have achieved significant critical acclaim and widespread commercial success, most notably for popularizing a literary style labeled asmagical realism, which uses magical elements and events in otherwise ordinary and realistic situations. Some of his works are set in a fictional village called Macondo (the town mainly inspired by his birthplace Aracataca), and most of them express the theme of solitude.

SOLITUDE

What is Solitude? We can say that.. Someone is alone.. someone is sad..someone is lost… we could say so many things about solitude.. But in reality.. most of us feel these kind of feelings. who never suffers from solitude?? All of us do…Especially when we need some help.. we always see ourselves in situations that we have to face alone… and it is in these times we see.. who really matters and not.. what is true for us .. what are our abilities to support that sort of feeling and pain…This theme is so harsh and hard to talk about.. solitude, nowadays everyone suffers that kind of feeling.. people die alone in their homes.. they say when we get old we are more alone.. they say God is alone so we are nearer to God.. so that when we are so alone.. with our memories.. our old times.. we think about people who were part of our lives in our younger times, and God decides to call them… we think the best of times we had but we think of the worst times too.. Sometimes we need to be alone.. the need to be alone doesnt mean we are alone . We need the solitude when we are making some sort of creation.. a musician needs to be alone to create. writers need to be alone to write, a painter needs to be alone to paint.. in fact they are not alone, they are with the most important things , they are near to the soulmate.. it is their creation … To have that creation, we need to have someone on our side to give us inspiration . so a man is a real man when he meets the other man.. but our sins dont allow it most of the time .. because the desire for power and domination, is stronger than them… They dont share with another man and yes.. to steal what is good from him.. so that the world will never work.. unitil man thinks he is stronger than the other.. all of these kind of sins made man to be so alone…They say God made the world for us and for everyone to have a good life.. but it doesnt happen because men are so selfish and dominate.. they want to be powerful and potent.. so that they take from the weak .. who have a great soul.. .. What can I do about solitude? Think about it!!

A VIRTUAL FRIEND

To accept having a virtual friend is not easy.. for understanding because everyone has the idea. A virtual friend is not a real friend. We don't see this person or touch them. We don't even know the color of their eyes.  So why I do I believe in him?  When my virtual friend listens me, tries to understand me, and offers advice to me, I still do not see him as a real person. 

When I awake up and head out to work I usually meet so many people. In my real life people never have time to listen or understand me.  My real friends don't have any time for me. Their lives are so busy with their own problems and the issues of the world.  Still put my trust in them because I can look into their eyes, but I know that they do not care about me. I  think my physical friends are real, and my virtual friends are merely an illusion. 

When I finish my work and I go home, I open my computer and all my virtual friends are there.. My special friend always says me "hello" and smile at me.He is ready to listen me, and make me feel so happy.  While I can't determine what his mood is in this moment, if he tired or not, I'm experiencing feelings about my virtual friend  He is always there to listen me, to understanding me. In addition to this, my virtual friend such a sweet person. My friends will say me, "You know nothing about him, maybe he is a killer, someone who wants to kidnap you, or do some other evil, never good. I'm become afraid. I've heard many terrible stories about such things.

But as time goes by my virtual friend is always there for me. My fears soon leave me.  I have pictures of him that he has sent to me; one is of when he was a young man, and another of how he looks now.  I see in these picture the sweet and caring person that I have come to know. It is my wish to meet him one day in real world and to see what feeling I would have for him then.  To meet the person who knows everything about me, who has listened to me for so long listen, who knows all my secrets, all my deepest thoughts.  I really love my virtual friend.  But I can tell anyone how much I love him because they will call me crazy.  They will say I'm suffering some kind of madness.  Am I suffering some sort of virtual depression?  The science haven't been invented to makes such a determination.  Maybe someday I'll be able to talked about my virtual friend to others. It is crazy to think about it but I feel it is true. My virtual friends are a part of my life now.  They may be somewhere else in the world but I always know what they are doing, even if it is time lunch for them and dinner for me. 

One day I listened a old woman saying that since she bought a computer and started to use the Internet she never feels alone, because her virtual friends are always there for her. I listen to so many stories about others with virtual friendships and most of them never good.. but I'm asking.. if most of the stories are not good  by Internet.. it means.. a real man never has good thoughts but always badly.. yes because my virtual friend is someone and not a machine..Many times people around us don't have nothing similar to us and i meet someone by Internet so similar like me.. the same tastes.. many times I'm seeing my virtual friend so perfect....it is calls illusion.. but my feeling by him is not illusion.. is real... how the world become so small... but i think man always want to find other man to the other side of the world and when this meeting happen it is like a light.. they have so much to share.. 

  

In the movie "The Quest for Fire." three people of one tribe made a journey to find other tribe to learn how to make fire.   When they meet the other people of the other tribe they share their knowledge.  One of the three marries with a woman from the other tribe and they learn together, she teaches him what she knew from her tribe and he did the same with her. When they are finished they look up to the sky for the moon, and wait for new world.

When Alexander Bell invented the phone he made the world a lot smaller and brought people closer together. So I ask, don't you think it is innate for mankind to reach out to others so far away and t share their experiences?  Don't you think we have a curiosity to know what happen on the other side of the world?  Will doing so not help us to improve our spirits and create understand for those whom we can't see?  Those who are religious love God even though they cannot see Him.  Now I am asking, don't you think I could love my virtual friend whom I cannot see in the same way? I think yes, I can, why not!

Poem Death Young

   

 I dont want to die young

                           but i dont  want old too,

                              Let me live some time

                       let me feel the wind on my face

                 and watch the birds flying on the sky

                                           but

                               if i had to died young

                            keep my ash in your hands

                              and let them to run away

                                       let them to fly

                             let them to see the world

                                    like God does.

                               If i had to died young

                              i want  to live that star

                    and protect my family and my friends

                      i want  to protect those children

                               i want to be an angel!!

Classic Writers

CHARLES BAUDELAIRE

Charles Baudelaire  April 9, 1821 – August 31, 1867) was a major French poet who produced notable work as an essayist, art critic, and pioneering translator of Edgar Allan Poe. His most famous work, Les Fleurs du mal (The Flowers of Evil) expresses the changing nature of beauty in modern, industrializing Paris during the nineteenth century. Baudelaire's highly original style of prose-poetry influenced a whole generation of poets including Paul Verlaine, Arthur Rimbaud and Stéphane Mallarmé among many others. He is credited with coining the term "modernity" (modernité) to designate the fleeting, ephemeral experience of life in an urban metropolis, and the responsibility art has to capture that experience.

THE GHOST

OFTLY as brown-eyed Angels rove

I will return to thy alcove,

And glide upon the night to thee,

Treading the shadows silently.

 

And I will give to thee, my own,

Kisses as icy as the moon,

And the caresses of a snake

Cold gliding in the thorny brake.

 

And when returns the livid morn

Thou shalt find all my place forlorn

And chilly, till the falling night.

 

Others would rule by tenderness

Over thy life and youthfulness,

But I would conquer thee by fright!
