We humans, around the world, are born into families that run the gamut from, love your enemies, to kill them. It is actually true however, that “as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Those words can be found in the Bible’s book of Proverbs, 23:7, and for better or worse are true. To change your life, you must change your thinking. We are doomed, or blessed, to be what we think. As Brian Tracy says in his book Change Your Thinking Change Your Life, “You are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are.” That’s a thought.

All the creatures on earth spend their lives foraging for food unless they are domestically kept and fed sleep, and breed in season.
Only humans have the capacity to worry or plan for tomorrow, to understand their situation, and govern their activities beyond the few mentioned above. Yes, squirrels and such lay up stores for the winter, but it is more of an instinctual thing than an active, conscious plan such as a human would have. No creature worries about dying, or whether there is a life hereafter, or who will be elected as our next president.
âThe result of our unique understanding of our lives is our curiosity, and the resulting enlightenments it produces, which leads us in many directions, not the least of which is that we seem to have an instinct to aspire.

While I may shock some of you with comments I make in this article, I do consider myself a Christian. I believe in the teachings of Jesus. I also believe in the destiny of mankind. We speak of, and accept the Bible, as the word of God. We must remember, however, that it was not written by God. The New Testament was written by dedicated people who considered Jesus as the son of God, but not common man. They could not believe that any man could do as Jesus did, even though that is what he taught. We are not certain, beyond our assumptions, who wrote many biblical chapters. I am somewhat confused by some stories we read in the bible. I am sure they are true, however, much of it was written many years after it happened. The writer wasn’t there, and it certainly must include the various authors impressions of the facts, as well as the facts themselves. In those times, like these, people did not always understand reality.
