A man said to me "if God is looking down on the world right now, the only logical inference is that he is crying". I find this complicated in many ways and levels.
Firstly, if there is a God, does he cry? He supposedly modelled us on himself, so you would guess he can.
Secondly, he is supposed to have a plan for us all, so why would he cry, is this not part of the plan?
Now I would like to move onto the if there is no God side of this. I figure if there isn't, there would still be so many people from the past who would be balling their eyes out if they could see us now. Albert Einstein came up with the brilliance that is E=mc^2, and that led to the discovery of the atom bomb. If he knew what would have become of Hiroshima and such, he would probably have spent the rest of his life to invent time travel to try and erase his discovery.
But then we think that every small thing that we do has a huge effect on the unfolding future. This is known 'Chaos Theory', small differences in the initial conditions provides widely different outcomes in the chaos that ensues.
What can we do about this chaos. Sweet F A. We can't do a damn thing about it, and I guess that is beautiful in some ways, no matter how small and insignificant we feel in ourselves, we can impact the future in ways we could never imagine.
For example, Winston Churchill's Great Great Great Great Grandparents decided to have a child, how could they have know that he would be an instrumental part in winning one of the largest Wars of all time.
Of course, Chaos Theory, in all of it's infinite glory is the most uncontrollable thing that has existed, it has lead to the existence we are in to be the way it is, and not us all being purple elephants.
Which leads me to the point of this, chaos sucks. People suck. Instead of being nice and jolly, people are cold calculating conniving heartless b****es, who have no thoughts to the repercussion of their actions, and when they realise these repercussions, don't give a crap.
But on the positive side, the early chaos could have led to us all being sentient dung beetles.
