Voices in Choir

"Me! Me! Listen to me!"

The voice in my head fairly screams.

"No, I, I! The better idea is mine."

It's the start of a cacophany

.

In comparison to the first

relatively quiet voice

the next onslaught

is devastating

 

My creativity, a kind of curse

to what sort of choice,

am I to be brought?

(though to listen in is fascinating!)

 

This idea, that idea,

what idea is the best?

This plan, that plot,

can you just give me a rest?

 

God

Socretes once asked "Are the gods good because they are gods? Or, are the gods good because they are good?"

If you then take that question and apply to any Omniscient, Omnipotent... "God", you get quite an interesting topic for discussion.

Is what god says good because he is god? or is what god says good because he is good? If you take the first question, if what god says is good because he is god, then he can therefore change his mind, he could turn around and say "thou shalt murder thy mother and thy father" but is that good? Well it must be if god says it is.

Truth... or something like it

It's interesting to think that truth is only really relative to the mind. What is true to one person is not necesarily the truth to another. For example, Two people may look at a tree, the tree is green to one and brown to the other. However each person believes that they are telling the truth and are convinced that the other is wrong. A third person may then say that both are infact telling the truth, the tree is both green and brown. And yet another person can come along and say all three are wrong, the tree is not green, brown or both colours.
