My everyday life reflection #12

In the last few days I was wondering, why do we all need brand new things. By that I don't mean it is something wrong when we do it in the right way. However, nowadays it is deeply embedded in our community to have a new phone or bag for instance. Some people make so much fuss around getting new things and swing from one shop to another, just to get what they want, to be cool. Media and normal people malign celebrities for not having a new Channel perfumes or Gucci t-shirt. Why the world is going in this direction? Why nowadays people who don't have branded clothes are mostly left out? The answer for me is still unknown. However, I really hope we will start looking more deeply into people's characters than on what they wear or where they have their lunches.

    And the sad consequence of us buying new things all the time (sometimes called 'fast fashion') is that it pollutes the environment. Poor quality clothes end up in landfills after a very short time, adding to the already enourmous amount of trash we produce.

The Big Story: Origins of Religion

The video I watched recently talks about Stone Age people and their believes. The part that mostly got my attention was the one that talked about "will" and "spirit". As it has been said in the video, people at that time thought that their moves, the fact that plants are growing and even the movement of sun and moon, they were all the product of will. For those people, the "will" was "spirit", and the whole world was filled in with loads of spirits. However, the spirit was also named as "god". There was a god within everything that had moved, so it was a product of the "will". The interesting thing that has been said in the video was also the fact, that people believed that what they see in the water was their spirit, and not just their reflection. This video answered many questions I had about how people had thought in the Stone Age. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9mFNgu6Cww acquire Nowadays people want to acquire mor...

Atheists and Christians Debate Truth And Belief

In the video I watched, the producers of the whole thing asked 3 atheists and 3 christians to take part in it. They asked them 5 questions, and the way they could answer them was  to sit on their seats. If someone didn't sit, that would mean they do not agree with the statement that was mentioned. To be fair, I mostly agreed with atheists women, but that didn't really shock me. What actually frustrated me, was the way the oldest christian tried to proof the other side of the debate wrong. He was aggressive, especially towards one of the woman who was able to stand for what she believe and what she thinks is right. However, the fact that they all could come to some agreement at the end of the video showed that even when you don't believe in the same thing, you can still discuss it in the right and calm way and you can still live with each other peacefully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SjuC0PYscU&t=54s to be a man of faith All the priests are men of faith as the...

When will it be accepted to be Muslim and gay?

The main topic of the video I have watched is already mentioned in the title. It shows four people in the middle of the stage, talking (or more like arguing) with audience, about either a man on their left is right or no. That man is gay, who also says he is a muslim. At the beginning he argues with a woman in the audience, who says that if he is gay, it's okay, but he cannot be muslim. Them the man in the middle gets into a fight, telling that woman that if he wants to be a muslim, let him be. His sexuality wasn't his choice, but religion on the other hand is. The rest of the video is basically an argument about the man protecting the gay muslim guy is right or no. When it comes to me and my opinion about this whole thing, I am 100% with the man who says that you can be gay and believe in whatever you want, because faith doesn't have only a few rules that have you have to follow. Different people can interpret every religion how they only want to, which was also said in th...
