Modern Cognition

Imagine a world....60 years ago with technology 60 years before it was created. Imagine a world war...with todays technology. would the war last longer or shorter? how much more or less damage would be caused? how would it affect the future? would there be a future? All of these questions are really supposed to be thought provoking and rhetorical of course...the answers are obvious in some ways. We have some a long way since then...the world has changed, our methods of communication has changed, our styles of music have changed, our views on political issues (in some cases) have changed, our views on moral standards, drugs, violence and video games have all changed. The world is forming conspiracies detracting from what is true...a theory formed by man is never as well structured as one formed by God. There could quite possibly be irony in that statement...because inevitably someone will always find something wrong in almost everything, but do we have the tolerance for it? Do we have the tolerance for ourselves? Do we have the tolerance to step back and look at the world a way a conservationist does? Let's all turn off our TV's, Computers, Radios and all other electronic devices and stop allowing the media to think for us...imagine the media didn't exist, would we all think for ourselves? would we all agree on much more? would we have more faith? would we be able to remember the true meaning of Christmas? would it seem strange that an atheist celebrates Christmas like the rest of us? but why? for the commercial values? to fit in? to be part of the majority?

The world has moved on...yet maybe we should take a step back.
