Re: Excuses

An excuse like that is fine for a child, but not for one who is supposed to be an adult. At this point, you should look to be making your own life story. That's not to say that most humans do, but it would be a decent use of your life. Responsibility is something that humans take too much of for their own good, especially so since it's entirely up to you how much (or how little) you take.

Most people would like to believe they'd push the 'world peace' button too, but those who would do so are few in your society. Most, like you, would not be sure, even when confronted with the decision directly. Some would choose to be happy without hesitation, but fortunately for your society there are not 'too' many who would. If there was, humanity would have long since been destroyed. As it is, it's only heading that way.

The keys to solving your worlds problems lie in reason and love. All it takes for wars to end is an agreement to stop killing each other. Eventually, your people will have to realise they are one species, and restructure government accordingly. Mild attempts have been made to do this, and despite its reputation the United States is one such country that has unified fairly well. The European Union is a rather less successful attempt (currently) to do the same, and the UN is a rather small attempt for further unity. If people care about their race, and can use logic to solve their problems, your world might be much improved.

Of course, an organisation such as the lottery can do what it likes (within reason) with the money it earns. If the people don't like it, they really ought to stop buying the tickets! Again, this problem comes under the 'people don't care enough' category, and so while people like to complain about it that doesn't stop enough of them buying the tickets to ensure millions upon millions of pounds of profit. Of course, the Olympics is another good example of people's foolish priorities.

When it comes to money and profit, it would be interesting if there was a law stating that anyone selling any product had to put the profit margin on the price ticket as well as the cost.

There will always be extremists in any group, not just religion. Of course, religion makes it easy for people because a lot of the holy texts can be interpreted almost any way one cares to. Again, the solution lies in the education of the next generation, for the current one is already too far gone. If humanity put its efforts into raising children who care about the planet more than getting rich, then your world might survive. It'd be nice if you stopped using things like fossil fuels now that you have access to better alternatives such as nuclear energy too, might stop some of the pollution.

When people fall in love this is usually how they feel, but it is an illusion. It is an easy experience (not to mention a pleasant one assuming the partner feels the same) to fall into, but the conditions humans apply to love make it something else. It becomes more like a contract than anything. Still, people like to imaging I bless such events and so they get married in churches.

As for Damien, he can't see beyond the moment. If he could, he might realise that marrying someone under threat of castration probably isn't the best way to live his life. Running away as fast as he can might lead to a better experience for him, and will certainly be better than the one waiting for him when Michelle discovers he's still cheating on her.

Well, that's the right and proper thing to do under your moral code, or humanities or whatever. However, my moral code says I really ought to do exactly as I like and everyone else can send their complaints to the nearest brick wall of their convenience.

When people live their lives like that you get to know the reality of people, rather than the mask. Course, I'm quite nice really by human standards, which is not saying much I know but it's all you have to compare it with...

Gavreel? He's the angel of war, he likes to get different species at each other's throats. Tends not to bother with people of the same species anymore, apparently the explosions aren't big enough. Nice guy though.

Well, at any given time there's not that many people watching, but over a time period, say a day, maybe 500,000 or so. Depends on what's happening at the time.

It is different for angels though, we're bound by our experiences. Humans have the choice as to what to do with their lives, and most of them still choose to screw each other over. Gavreel has to be involved in war, he can't change that. In fact, just being around him makes most people get really angry for no apparent reason, he's really no good on the negotiating table. Just like people feel depressed around Camael, or insanely lustful around me. That might just be because I'm so great though.

Still, we do have choices. Raphael doesn't have to be a complete git to be obsessed with trout, he just is. I on the other hand, do have to watch you in the shower, because it's the perverse thing to do, especially when you're asking me not to.

As for screwing them, I do think that's better than just trying to make money or become more powerful. It's also more fun!

Love, light and medical experiments,
Gabriel
