Haha, I'm An Idiot.

From A Distance

Okay, in our music class, our grade is learning a song for Remembrance Day called 'From A Distance'. The whole point of the song is pretty much that when you look at everything on a big scale, you don't see the bad stuff, you just see a beautiful planet. It's nice, although it makes no sense. All I'm getting from it is ignore your problems on a cosmic scale. That probably isn't what it meant, but I digress.

Anyway, most of the verses are along the lines of "From a distance, there is peace and harmony." I can see how you would think that. The whole song goes on about some peace and love nonsense and all about how nothing is bad from far away, which is only further convincing me to move to Mars. It got me thinking: from a distance, the problems are still there. You just can't see them.

I had just blown my own mind. And then, I went deeper down the rabbit hole. If there's a God out there, maybe the reason that he doesn't seem to do anything is because he's looking at everything from a distance and nothing appears to be wrong. If this is the case, it just might explain why he seems to have halted in his efforts to guide us. In the beginning, there were only like 500 people to look at every once in a while, and the majority of them weren't even sinners. If they were, they confessed. That meant that God could spend time performing miracles and stuff. Later, there got to be lots and lots of people, so God couldn't go around showing off to individuals anymore. He just had to start watching everything like an episode of Friends. Since he can't go check up on everyone, he just makes sure we're still alive without actually going in close enough to see anything going on. That, or we're just some cosmic game of The Sims that God forgot about two days after he started playing it.

The best part about all of this is that I'm not even religious.
