This is my little place for putting my thoughts on life, the universe, and everything, or just nothing. It depends on what I feel like writing. If I can get around to it, there will be something here. For now though, you will have to suffer in anticipation.
This is something that I'd like to be read at my funeral should I not survive Korea:
Greetings friends, family, and all those whose lives I have touched in a profound manner. This is a testemony of my life. It has been my goal to make people think. To bring people to realize their potential. And to help them through the chaos that we call life. In my life, I have thought of a great many things. Among those thoughts, I've descovered a great deal about myself, others, and the universe that we inhabbit. Many great questions, such as the meaning of life, I have thought about much and have come to conclusions and theories. I have found the meaning of life for myself, and I realize that it is different for each individual. Part of the reason that I was put on this Earth, was to make people realize that the universe is bigger than they are and in fact bigger than they can imagine, but that doesn't mean that it isn't worth wondering about. To realize human nature as it is, and accept it without causing yourself stress, which is one of the worst killers. Life is too short, Carpe Diem, and all that jazz. We hear these words but do we really realize there profoundness. Do you even have an incling as to a fraction of what you could be capable if you did in fact seize the day. How much stress would be prevented if we realized that this is in fact our only life and that nothing should ever be serious enough to shorten it by doing something as useless as worrying. What man can add a single hour to his life by worrying? Friends, I'm not saying that you shouldn't care, on the contrary, stay calm and deal with situations with reason and common sence. If at all possible, let the Lord be your guide, whatever form you may think that he takes. If you do not believe in god, at least make peace with your self and take confidence in your endevours. You may not have the guidance or the peace that the Lord can provide, but at least then you are doing your best at being who you are. About trying to understand the universe, reality, and whatnot. I have spent probably the most time on this fools persuit. Theorize all you want, but it is all philosophy unless you have proof. I have come up with several interesting theories and have discussed them all with my dearest friends. Those with interest in such things anyway. No matter if everything I said was shot down or not, I still accomplished my goal. To make them think out of the ordinary. To make them cross over the lines of conventional thought and do a little off-roading. To make them wonder just what is going on with the big picture. We are in danger of spending our lives thinking small, and for settling for what life gives us. The world is vastly bigger than that. Everyone's potential is much greater than that. It is amazing what you can accomplish if you seek the happiness and well-fare of others while in persuit of your own happiness and well-being. Remember, money is merely some paper with green ink on it. The Lord will give you more than you need if you do as he tells you. The rest should be used to help others and then to persue your own happiness. Friends do not be afraid for your life, for doing so will destract you from the important things in life. Be calm and deal with things one step at a time, then the reality will turn out to be less traumatic than your fears. Death is an inevitable part of life. Worrying about death will merely take away from the quality of your life. Thus, make peace with the fact that it will happen and live on. Explore the boundaries of your capabilities while you are here, and make your life one of such quality that you leave a profound impression on everyone you meet. Now I must say goodbye to you all. My friends, family, and those whose lives I've touched in a profound way. I can only hope that my life has in some way inspired you to better yourself and realize your full potential.
