Selective Predestination

Selective Predestination

Humans are material

Made of the substance of the Earth

The same substance making up animals

And all plant forms

There are laws which control the formations of the substance of the Earth

Humans differ from animals and plant forms

Only in the specific law which form them from the substance of the Earth

But essentially they three have same basic composition

The law forming humans from the substance of the Earth

Had long been authored

And has since been in operation

Thus, when a male and female mate

A young human is produced in result

Such is the law constantly in operation

Similar to the laws controlling animals and plant forms

A male and female animal mate

And a young animal is produced in result

A new plant also sprouts from a seed of an existing plant

There may be a purpose for humanity in totality

But no special purpose for every individual

Every individual human is produced by a natural law in operation

The product of the union between a male and female

There is not a special purpose for every individual person

In much the same way as not all plants are useful

There are useful plants and there are weeds

Yet they are produced by one and same law

So though all humans are produced by one natural law

Not every individual human fulfils a special purpose

Some individuals are mere products of natural law

And such individuals contribute nothing to the purpose of humanity

Then are those who are born to contribute specially to the purpose of humanity

Such individuals influence the course of humanity in entirety

So while some individual humans are mere weeds

Affecting the course of humanity in no way

Some others are impactful and dictate the course of humanity

The majority are mere weeds

Just products of a natural law in operation

The minority are men of purpose

Born to show the way

That predestination is selective and not universal

Is a fact evident by close examination of nature

Some few plant forms are useful; a purpose cannot be found for the majority

Neither are all animals beneficial

Humans are no different

The Money Printers of Iberland

The Money Printers of Iberland

I knew of a country in the far eastern parts of Imagination

Called by name Iberland

It was a libertarian society

The people there invented clever systems for solving myriads of human problems

And by these could realize the paradise that all mankind desires

One of these was their treatment of money

Which I briefly recount in this piece of writing

 

Before theirs was similar to any modern society

With an expansive chasm between rich people and the poor

Although other types of material possession abounded on the land

The medium of exchange was not readily available to the masses

As money printing was the preserve of a special group of people

 

Then arose from among the thinkers of the land

A man whose thoughts revolutionized the acquisition of wealth

This man clearly understood the true nature of wealth

That an abundance of money per se is not wealth

Rather it consists in having material possession in abundance

And that money is only the medium for exchanging wealth

 

He argued that the masses are already richer

What remains to be gotten is the free medium for exchanging the wealth they held

He advocated that money should be made within easy reach

By making the activity of money printing a free enterprise

So that there shall be people in the society who could practice the profession and business of money printing

These people all printing the common and accepted money of the land

 

The masses saw wisdom in his advice and money printing forthwith ceased to be a monopoly

There was an initial rush at money as most countrymen saw the money printing enterprise very attractive

Yes, every man wanted to possess more money

But soon the thinker was vindicated

Mother nature imposed a natural restraint on the people

The country began to lack in food, clothing, safe water and other material possessions the people needed to survive

 

The people all realized in a rather short time that they couldn’t all be money printers

Some would have to keep to the other trades, arts and enterprises

This necessary so that the variety of material possessions

Which they actually needed for their survival and development

Could also be produced

 

In time a stable society developed

Whereby the business and profession of money printing

Existed together with a lot many arts and enterprises

What happened was that if someone possessed any item

It could be battered for money at the money printer’s

This was how any material possession was converted to money

And then on used to acquire other material possessions

 

There goes a very ingenious system

Which modern societies may adopt to solve the perennial pandemic of poverty

The people are not actually poor

They are only not able to exchange goods and services freely

“Ignorance is the single cause of human woes and suffering”

Musings of a Solitary Life

The people who have done the most wrong to a man

Are his two progenitors

To have been born into this world

Is the worst tragedy that can befall us mortals

The truths of the world are not taught to anyone

They are best learnt by oneself

Counsels are not learnt at the lips of a counsellor

They are best discovered for oneself

The highest entertainment is the exercise of thought

O! what ecstatic moment when some truth of life is discovered

The musings of a solitary life

This provides direction to all humanity

Theophilus

The Enemies of Humanity

Human rulers are detestable to the abstentionist

Yet the real enemies of humanity

Are the people who work for other men

To gain mastery over fellow humans

These people are the real enemies of humanity

Theophilus

This Beautiful Earth GOD Has Made

As you climb high above the skies

Human beings dissolve into thin air

And all human sufferings disappear with him

From above you see only a peaceful Earth

Covered with green vegetation, oceans and circulating rivers

From above GOD sees only a balanced macrocosm

Without the slightest blight of malady or danger

The Earth appears disturbed only in your horizon

Why not help sanitize your horizon?

You can help make the Earth a paradise for all mankind

Theophilus
