(This is scientifically proven to be the most relaxing song in the world. *(look it up: Marconi Union)

Random thoughts....

Through out our lives, we encounter may forms of obstructions that may hinder our happiness, performance, or lifestyle.

Sometimes you've had a bad day at work, sometimes a loved one dies, or sometimes you just don't give a damn.

It's a kinda of sad fact of life.

But how we choose to react to it is 'key'.

Sure...much like the situations of Tibet, the upheaval of 'assertiveness' sometimes seems unsettling.

So what do you do? Retaliate? Rebel? Fight 'fire with fire'. See who wins?

Or do you simply ignore? Be submissive? Is that considered 'weak'?

People who are cruel sometimes know they are being cruel and simply don't care.
People who are cruel sometimes do it because they feel obliged to do so.
Or sometimes you've just pissed off the wrong guy.

People who submit to drugs because of an escape. But the real escape is in the healing of your own mind. The contemplations of thoughts and choosing to face them rather than ignoring them.

Sometimes there's a person you really like but that person doesn't share the same interests.
Either way, you can't change how people view you.

But you can choose how you view yourself. And that's all that really matters.

And choosing to 'react' is an interesting and often difficult choice, especially with raging and 'destructive' emotions.

But see...this is where I've come to a revelation.

Anger, Hate, Lust, Greed etc....

All of these seem to be 'bad' emotions to have?

But 'bad' means we 'shouldn't' have them?

But they exist.

I feel that every form of emotion can be powerfully positive and constructive if used appropriately and in the right situations.

Now I speak of 'emotions' however. Not crimes that pertain to a 'specific' situation.

But rather we can channel our emotions in the direction that makes us better people, or rather be used in more appropriate situations.

If used without intentionally intelligent direction, we can often be overtaken by 'bad' decisions or be placed in 'bad' situations which ultimately lead us to doing criminal acts.

Now I haven't really thought of any specifics yet. Just something to think about.

I usually passout to grindcore but this should do.

the song is NOT relaxing! the ambient sound that's most prominent is frigen annoying! i cant see myself sleeping to this, and constant bass drum is there to slow your heart rate, yes, your heart tries to catch up with beats, or slow down as it were.

screwy-

It is something to think about.
.
I know the scriptures talk about God having a "righteous anger". Even hating what is bad and loving what is good. You might remember, Jesus got angry when he saw that merchants were using Gods house as a place to sell. He flipped over there tables and emptied there bags of money, and drove them out. He was angry because of the disrespect towards his father. No doubt righteous anger is only righteous when it is in control.
.
Greed and lust though, are negative descriptions of desire. So you can say desire isn't a bad thing ...its what we desire I suppose that can be bad or good.
.
So yeh, direction is everything.

and megashell doesn't know what she is talking about, the ambiance is entrancing

Greed can be driven towards charity, like you use the emotion of greed to drive you to make more money for charity.

And lust, well...damn man, sex is a POWERFUL emotion. It can really hold a couple together and release such amazing tension.

As for 'Righteous Anger'...lol Adventure Time man. Rising a fist in righteous anger. Anger can be used for righteousness if one desires and has no fear. A whole fighting against an evil monster attitude or standing up for an ethical means. However this has been confused with justifying book burning and witch hunting. I think Jesus may have over-reacted a 'tad' bit. Buddha would've done things differently, course then again, everyone would've done things differently. Who's to say what would really happen if we were placed in such a predicament.

That song is entrancing isn't it? Try it with headphones.
