"Along The Way"

Learning to me is like a line that goes forward, and this earth will go towards in what God intended it to be in the first place. As the earth rotates on its axis people are learning at a faster rate, and learning puts elements into their worldview.

People are always learning, because no one knows everything. If they state they know everything, than they are lying. That includes a person that has like 10 PHDs, and he would be lying to if it claims to know everything. God did not intend humans to know everything, so after the fall of man humans have lived in a learning state. That learning state involves discovery who they are, where they came from, how will it survive in the world, what do they believe in, why do they belief in their worldview, what's their purpose, and what will the future hold for them? Not all humans have these questions answer, and answering all these question does not mean that people will know everything. Again God did not create humans to know everything, so humans are always learning.

If someone ask someone else if they learn anything today, and there answer was nothing. Their answer was nothing, and that could mean they learn nothing new. Learning is not just about learning new things, but it could be finding more meanings about information from the past. Learning can come through accepting norms in society at the time, so learning is constant today. It's just the rate is faster.

So along the way our worldview takes shape, because of learning through observing, and application. People's  worldview foundation came from family, community, and school. People's worldview foundation will be solid as a rock, or it will be lose like a wet paper bag. A worldview becomes solid when person believes in it for themselves, and a worldview becomes shaken when it is not discovered for themselves. Still people that do not learn about their worldview are still learning, but they are learning about things that have no meaning like who won "American Idol." Things like "American Idol" have no purpose, because God will not ask them if they won it, or not. He may ask them did they do it to glorify Him, and there may have been contestants that glorified Him. I have never watched an entire show, so I do not know about that.

So along the way a worldview will be fully developed like a beautiful building, or it will end up like a vacant lot.

"The World I live in Now"

In my last post of "Random Mind" I blogged about my worldview, and stated it' like a treasure hunt to where people will find their purpose or not. Within that treasure hunt there is an interaction of people ideas that people will agree, or disagree. Their ideas are based upon what they believe in, and will make choices based upon their beliefs at the time. I do believe people's beliefs does change, because it is pretty obvious. For example let's compare the 1950s era with today's era. In the 1950s it was all about being wholesome, because most people believe that there was a God. They also believe that they would be held accountable for the choices they make, and now today it's the complete opposite. People believe in gods, or they believe they are god themselves. People today do not live within a moral code, because they are taught in life that there are no absolutes.

I live in a world to where more, and more people believe everything's relative. They live on assumptions, and their thoughts become more dependent. They depend on others for knowledge on what to eat, what to wear, what to watch, and what to do for the rest of their lives. They believe in more external ideas, than something that comes from within, and hardly use any logic to find out for themselves rather or not the things they believe are true. They assume it is true, because they saw, or heard someone say its true.

This world I live in now believes in phony reality. My worldview is that upfront it presents phony reality, but within it is real reality.

"Way of Stating My Worldview"

I first came across the term worldview when I was in high school, and that was over a decade ago. Since than I have come across it many times, and once again this year I have a course that will talk about worldview. My paper in that class will be asking me how I would define my worldview. I want to state an honest answer, but keep from stating it like a Sunday School answer. To this in my mind I try to think of what would I compare life to, because I believe view of life is starting point to state a person's worldview. I always thought of life like a game, but major difference in life that ends in death.

In a game there are players, judges, rules, outcomes of winning, and losing. In life there are humans, a creator, His rules, and outcomes of choices humans make.These outcomes are dividing line for humans that separate them into winners, and losers. Comparing life to a game is a starting point of defining my worldview, and to clearly state that I need to imagine a scenario to continue to develop my stated worldview.

In my mind I like God to lead me to a mountain top to view the entire world, and He would ask me what do I see? I would this world in distance that comes off to me being peaceful, but magnifying it I would see some people being busy. I would see some of them not being busy, I would see some of them being still, and I would some of them moving. I would need to magnify it more to see what their purposes are, that would create questions. Those questions are why are some busy, why are some not busy, why are some being still, and why are some not being still? Do people know where they are going, or do they where this world is going? Do they even care, or do they not care?

From these questions I would say life is like a treasure hunt that people will discover its purpose, or they will not.

"About Fast and Furious"

Over on Youtube had a short film called "Action Imagination", and it was about boys pretending to be action stars that they seen in movies like Rambo, Commando, and any other action movie that was made in the era of the 80s and 90s. In "Action Imagination" you saw the two boys with toy guns going out in the woods to face other boys that were bad guys dressed like ninjas. Watching this short film brought back memories when I was a boy that to like to play action heroes that I saw in the action movie era that went from the 80s into the 90s, and it inspired men today that are into being soldier and policeman. We had heroes in the movies that played characters that uphold the law, and did their duty for it was the right thing to do.

Fast forward to the 2000s, and the action hero has completely changed. It has changed from law obeying citizens in the 80 to 90s into anti law citizens that is the present day action hero. Action movies that has these characters are "Fast and the Furious" series,  and"Triple X." Vin Diesel played the lead hero in both of these movies, and it is pretty much the same character. His characters does stealing cars and merchandise, destroy private property, and does street racing that is illegal in all 50 states. Even though his character does all these illegal things its still portray as the hero at the end of the day, by defeating evil. Evil is the law that was represented as good in the 80s and 90s movie era. Young boys watching these movies could be influence the same way movies made in the 80s, and 90s influenced boys than that are now soldiers or police officers. Except boys watching action movies like "Fast Furious" could be influence in breaking the law to find out that reality is not like the movies to where the criminal ends up being the hero, but they end up in jail messing their entire life up, or end up dead.

Now action movies back than, and now are both far from reality. When men became soldiers, or policemen they found out that it was nothing like the movies. In reality people get shot, and actually die. Either way action movies have characters that go against antagonist created by other characters, and it is defined good versus evil. Storyline presented like that in "Fast and Furious" tells young boys that the law is bad, and it takes away your freedom to do whatever you want. Yet activities like stealing cars, and merchandise violates another person's freedom by taking away their will to live.

Typing this blog is not about not watching movies like "Fast and Furious", because this blogger has seem them that end up liking some of them. This blog is just this blogger's observation of the movies stated through this blog to encourage people to be independent thinkers.
