Of Atheism

Central argument: Francis Bacon believes that religion is a necessity which provides us with moral and leading us to the correct path.

                There are many different beliefs in the world and all of them are similar and different from each other. The teachings of many religions are about how to live in everyday life; some religions set limit to what the believer is allowed to do, giving reasons that require only believing. Those questionable rules make the religion unbelievable in which making the believer seems as a spiritually weak person. The religion itself should be able to answer all the doubts about the unbelievable rule, the origin of the religion otherwise the religion is misleading people or limiting the rights of freedom of the people and violates the idea of individualism. Francis Bacon explained that religion is a necessity which provides us with moral and leading us to the correct path in Of Atheism; however, believing in religion should not be something necessary as people have the rights to think for themselves; the rule of religion maybe a necessity which believers must follow and therefore misleading the believers.

                In the history of mankind, religion is one of the biggest sparks of war because people have different beliefs in which are questionable and non-provable so therefore causing conflicts between nations. The stronger side will put down the other side and use its authority to mislead people, blind people so it stays in power. People are not allowed to question or they are given consequences. It is better for one to believe in himself or herself because therefore there is no limit or consequences or misleading information from the authority.

                The religions may violate the rights of people to do something as their rules do not let their believers to eat certain kinds of food, have sexual intercourse before marriage, etc. The rules may benefit the believers in some ways, but people have their own brains to think if what they are doing is right or not according to the laws of the countries in which have clear explanations and mostly reasonable; the rules maybe something that people may look up at and see what fits in their life-style, but they should not be necessity as that would violates human rights.

                Believing in a religion does not necessary help out someone living in everyday life, it may, but some religions violate the rights of the believer and mislead the believer to believe in something unrealistic. People have full rights to think for themselves as long as it does not violate the rights of anyone else.

Abortion

link: Rick Santorum, Meet My Son

Central Argument: Mothers should be allowed to make their own choices, to choose to terminate their pregnancy, if necessary.

                Most countries in the world are democratic republic in which people make their own choices. However, the choices that are made should not violate anyone’s rights so there are laws implemented and enforced in most countries. The right to terminate pregnancy is, however, something different. An abortion means killing someone who has not been born, but, maybe, saving that someone from suffering from diseases and disabilities.  Emily Rapp, a mother who raises a child with disabilities suggests that abortion is not a bad thing since it saves someone from suffering, even though terminating a pregnancy may seem like a ruthless thing to do. The issue of allowing abortion and not having negative impression on the mother who chooses her choice to terminate her pregnancy is an ethical issue where it is up to the people to decide whether it is right or not because the issue can be looked at from many different point of views.

                People in countries that are democratic should be able to make their own choices, but the problem with abortion deals with not just one person, but the mother and the child.  As the baby is not able to make its choice, the mother is the one that has all the rights to make the choices for herself and the baby. However, before the mother chooses to terminate her pregnancy, she should have an appropriate reason for doing such a terrible thing. If her child is going to be born with disabilities that does not let the child live long as in Rapp’s case, the mother should consider the choice. The baby is going to suffer from disabilities and diseases that are not curable so why not save it from suffering?

                If people could choose to be born, they would obviously choose to be born with no flaw. No one ever deserves to suffer from disabilities, but no one really deserves to die just because they are not normal either. Rapp loves her son and wants her son to get the best that he could get, but he is suffering from a genetic disease that will kill him very soon so Rapp suggests that she would have saved her son from suffering if she terminated her pregnancy. Just because her son is born with disability, he does not deserve to die, but he deserves love from his parents and deserves to live as long as he could on this world. Abortion is, basically, killing someone and killing someone is a crime against humanity; it violates the rights of the baby even though the baby does not know a thing.

                The choices should be made by the mother, and should not be restricted by the government like how Rick Santorum prosecutes abortion doctors as criminals. Doctors are doing their jobs according to choices that are made by the pregnant mothers. The child abortion act is, however, still a problem which there is no solution to.

Fail?

If you knew you wouldn't fail, what would you do?

I would run for the prime minister of Thailand and change the whole system. No body that got the power will ever do what is right and that is improving the country, moving forward, not being selfish like what I have seen. I can only see rich people becoming members of parliament and I can draw a conclusion that they buy votes and they are corrupted. The corrupted members of parliament will get even richer and richer and stomping the lower class of the country underground. Being a prime minister is not easy, it is not just taking away corruption; it is managing the whole country. The important task is to know how to look for people to work because prime minister cannot work alone. It is also dangerous because then I would make many rich people angry, they may have to assassinate me for their own good. I would still run for the Prime minister position and change everything even if it cost my life because I believe that my life is just a small part of the big picture, Thailand where there are more than sixty-million people and many of those people are struggling for their lives because the government do not do anything that would help those people. For example, there is a war going on in the southern part of Thailand. People over there had been struggling for far too long so they would like to separate themselves and build up their own country. Still the government is not going to try to improve those people’s lives but sending army in, to shoot down the rebels.

No Fear

How you overcame a fear

 

“What is there to be scared of?” is the question I raise when I try to overcome a fear. I was scared of the unknown, in the darkness until one day. That day, I had to walk alone for kilometers in the dark back home. It leaves me time to think about many things, about my memories and reality. I started to think about the day time when it is bright and at night when it is dark. I walk the same road, cross the same bridge, see the same building, see the same trees, then what is the difference? It is just the sun during daytime and the stars that appear during the night. There is music in my ears and my eyes are open, I am still aware of what is going on around me, but it is just the darkness that reduces my sight range and the clarity. I think again, why do I fear something that does not exist? I look around and there is nothing; therefore, I conclude, there is nothing that would make me fear.
