STUFF: Part 1

(So, with my mind wandering around, I figured that I could make posts like these every here and there. I have no idea what inspires me.)

Unity

What is it that makes a miracle? Is it an occurrence by pure chance? Is it someone or something that manages to do what had seemed impossible before? Or is it different people or different things that work together to accomplish the same goal?

All around us we can see examples of these, now and before our time. But, more importantly is what is beyond our capacity to normally see, what lies beyond the surface. Is the miracle the miracle, or is the worker of the miracle the miracle of the miracle?

Think, for a moment, what you find important about the process. Was it that a man accomplished it, or the accomplishment itself, that is of value? Is it better to know that you exist, or simply the fact that you are able to exist, with or without being aware it?

The universe is possible because of many different forces. These forces are divided in what they agree with and disagree with among themselves. And yet even the most disagreeable can be a part of a whole that works to make existence possible.

There are a lot of miracles, but not everyone would agree on what makes a miracle. But why distinguish a miracle by their differences when you can distinguish them by what they all have in common: the unified particulars that made them possible.

Unity is truly a miracle. Combined actions and reactions, intended or not, can make anything possible. There is no good or bad about it, and it does not have a destiny; unity simply allows the accomplishment of change, the potential to create and the possibility of destruction.

As sentient beings, we can unify and act as a guide for what course we want our reality to explore. It may be easier to act alone and against, but wouldn't it be a miracle for people of all different types to work toward the same goal?

If the unification of differing elements made our reality possible, imagine what a world of people could do if they lived as one. If what we have now is only what some want, what could everyone agree on that is the same? To ever find out would be a miracle, but that's the beauty of unity, is it not?

"As sentient beings, we can unify and act as a guide for what course we want our reality to explore."

Freewill allows us to choose not to. Now, a more realistic sentient being to do such things would be an army of droids created by those of us who want things to change for a better, stress free life. But I'm sure the greater powers of the world would find it in their best intrest to stop us before we got too far.

Like you said, miracles are debatable. I have yet to classify anything as a miracle. My little girl certainly isn't a miracle, she's just the product of reproduction. Causality.

And for the main subject. Unity.
Abolish the idea. The universe isn't a thing of unity. It's a finite void with matter floating inside it. The meaning of the word unity is an oxymoron to the universe. Just like perfection, it's a word man created to use when critiqueing itself or something it has accomplished. Which is nothing. And that's correct context: nothing is perfect, nothing is unified.

Time for a nap now =)

You've got it right in the wrong way, I must say. To hear that from you brings tears to my eyes, though. Well, not literally... It's too depressing for tears, although I'm almost always too depressed.

Now, for one, I don't understand why you quoted and emphasized what you had. I used "can" because we have the potential to work together, not "will" because it's absolute.

To start off, you completely misinterpreted what I had said. Your opinion of the universe is not a law, so it has no basis here. I spoke only of the elements, which are scientifically supported and proven, and they do indeed unite. If they didn't, there wouldn't be such a variety to make life possible in this universe. Furthermore, unity is nothing like perfection. Perfection is perceptional while unity is universally observable: it's just the term that you give it, if you are capable of giving it, that may vary; which isn't of consequence here.

I think that you got "miracle" mixed up with "unity." You see, while I was saying that unity is special, I was calling it a miracle because unity, in some ways, is not an easy thing to accomplish. You mention "droids" (drones may be more apt ;p), and unifying in that way, for humankind, may be the sad truth. But it'd be a miracle if the world united for something without anything like that. See what I mean? Unity can make a lot of wonderful things possible, as well as dreadful things, whether by chance or effort. Without two hydrogen atoms and an oxygen atom bonding like they do, for example, you could kiss seventy percent of our bodies goodbye, as well as life on Earth. And life can be considered a miracle.

Personally, if I had a daughter and loved her, I may think that she exists by chance, but I wouldn't treat her as insignificant; a gift, at least. ;p Must be some kind of human trait that rubbed off on me. ;/
