Homosexuality

At CUG last week we had a talk on Homosexuality.  I wouldn't say it was an eye opener, because being in psychology, you tend to face this issue very often, but I did have time to actually hear out opinions and actually form some of my own.

But to start off as a JOKE, I would tell you one possibility of homosexuality that I just about that night itself.  If we subscribe to one of the theories that states that the Earth is constantly trying to balance itself like cope with Global Warming by shifting the climate around, then we get a very funny scenario.  There's this theory that says that the Earth tries to balance the overpopulation of the planet by famine and wars...so could that be an explanation for homosexuality?
Btw, it's a joke don't take it seriously.

What I really believe in is that homosexuality is a degradation of discipline among the generations.  I mean at least the awareness of homosexuality has been only a modern point of interest.  Before my father's generation, these things were always hidden away. You never heard of people declaring their orientation so out-rightly.

I believe that there are people who are skewed to the other side, but I'm not convinced that they did not have another choice.  In the olden days, discipline (cultural, personal, and familial) was what kept this at bay.  People knew that it was taboo.  People knew that it was wrong.  But desensitization has happened.  People started accepting a little taboo, and therefore they started accepting a bigger taboo.  It's a very common concept, marketers call it the foot-in-the-door technique.  We first fought against homosexual behavior, then we began just ignoring it, and then denying that it has escalated this far, and it moved on until now that it has almost become as part of society. And now that it's a part of society, it's going to be hard to go away.  It's a scab that you continually scratch but keeps coming back.

Once again this is my opinion. It's not meant to offend anyone.

Atheism

I think I'm too volatile to have a blog now...actually the desire to blog has totally left me, but I will update whenever I feel like it.


But nonetheless (as the title goes).  I read something about atheist recently and I came up with this conclusion: 

"I think I have a respect for atheists. Because to have a belief that we come from nowhere and also go to nowhere, is amazing. When things go wrong, atheists have no one to blame but themselves; they have to live with every mistake because it won't go away. I honestly think I don't have that kind of faith: to believe that nobody's out there. I believe it's far more comforting to know that there's a silent but listening God than to think that there is nothing out there."

I don't think I can believe that there is no one out there who is looking out for me, and because of this inability to believe this, I have to believe that there is someone out there :)

I used to think...

That people were interested with my thoughts and what I was thinking. That's one of the reasons why I started blogging in the first place, but look where I am now after 4 years...

I'm still where I was.  This blog has never seen an audience larger than my fingers...

What does this say? No one is interested. My thoughts have never been more than that. My opinions have been never been more than that. So where does this leave my blog? I'm still keeping, but I'm doubting I'm going to update much anymore...

If people bother to know how I am, I would appreciate the simple face-to-face conversation...that is if people bothered la.

I'm giving up on trying.

Sigh, and I thought I was over discovering who I am...
