Excite - Games

I just happened to be on this excite page, playing addiction solitaire, (A very cool game) when the sirens began to wail outside my window. I live just a block from the town fire dept. and am the first (and loudest) to hear the wail of potential disaster. I was stimulated to thought about death as the end of life and the effect of our failure to properly manage our world and it's impact on the lives of people, mainly children. Not just the big things like disasters that tear lives apart, end lives and come like sirocco winds in the night. But more rather, things like allowing any child to "slip through the cracks" and fail to live up to thier true potental. How do we really know that only a few children are "prodigy" class? What if any child, given the advantages of a stable, priviledged life and the benefits of wealth with the focus on intellectual or spiritual development, could become a "prodigy"? Further, what if there is NO life after death? No God, no "second chance" only the end of the existance of that individual for all time and the loss of who and what they might have been? What if psychologically scar's inflicted face-to-face in a moment end the potential life of that human being right then and there? Without possibility of parole? We have been lulled into a false sense of liberality by the idea of sin, immortality, eternal damnation and forgiveness. What if the end product of evolution was to produce human beings that are capable of transending physical existance and expanding to become inhabitants of the universe, and we, with our laziness, stupidity and indiference to anything that doesn't materially affect us directly, are effectively killing off our own species and preventing the individual you just dismissed or ingnored from becoming what we would refer to as "god"? Interesting thought, huh?
