Random Thoughts

According to the article I read there might be a little mistranslation of the old bible. Instead of God drove Adam and Eve out of Eden, it was God who was driven out of Eden. Could this be true? Just a little mistranslated the verb?! Well it certainly explains the absence of Him for all these years. I am not even religious, but the idea terrified me. I somehow find that the idea that "God has given us up' is scarier than 'God doesn't exists'. I wouldn't blame him. Honestly I would be pretty pissed off if I were Him, just look at us! Would we ever be able to win his heart back? Or just wait for the flood? I am not so worried since He's always got the plan.

According to another article I read ,which was just as horrifying as the last one, according to Greek mythology when people pass away they will be greeted by one question, and one only, which is 'Did you have passion?'. What kind of question is that, seriously?! Dose passion for Gucci bags count? This question really scared the air out of me. How many of us ever have had passion, for anything?! This is the world and the time that passion is truly a luxury. We run around the clock to try to make ends meet. If I had more time I would go to the gym. If I had more money I would invest more in my RRSP. If I had more time or money I would have more passion? Does it work that way? No, it doesn't, and we all know that. We all have favorites like chocolate, smoking, World of Warcraft...but passion is something you would die for. I am still working on my answer.

Over the holiday I met a mom who bought her four years old daughter the fancy hard covered color pictured book called 'Princess', which is a collection of princess fairytales, the Snow White, Cinderella... How we all loved those stories when we were little girls. Girls are brain washed from very early age to believe that some day the prefect Prince on his perfect white horse would come and rescue us from our miserable life, and everything would be ok and we would live happily ever after. I felt like rescuing the poor kid. Personally I think these fairytales are responsible for many failed relationships. Women who grew up with these fairytales embeded in their brain are set up to fail because life is not fairytale. Life is a battle field. If I ever had a daughter I would like to tell her something like this, 'Sweetie, nobody is going to save us except ourselves. Nowadays, princes are busy saving themsevles. Get a job, be financially independent, start a nice RRSP portfolio early, and stay true and close with your friends. These are the ingredients of a nice cake. If a nice guy comes along he could be the perfect icing on top. Remember, in this unpromising world the only thing I can promise you is no matter what happens I will always always be the one who loves you the most'
