Perception

                The way we see things can do extraordinary things for us.  For biologists, it might be seeing through a microscope to understand the smallest little objects that could be a protein affecting what is synthesized through a concentration gradient of a cell.  For a Forensic analyst it could be understanding how to copy and paste enzymes to use in DNA technology to duplicate evidence to catch the most current crime suspect.  However, if we did not train our perception to think critically, problem solve and be open to understanding other perspectives our avenue of learning would be very different.  Perception is our everything, and yet if this is one of the sensational learning experiences we do not have, such as the blind, we still learn through touching and that even brings perspective into consideration when we are guestimating even what we feel.   Sometimes we see through what we feel.  Anything is possible though through a trained perspective.

                Perception through the rods and cones in our eyes helps us develop an idea of what we are seeing and what place it has in our lives.  Our eyes are connected to our brain and then our brain helps us to proceed by processing a perspective.  Perception is in our novels and in our reasoning through our own personal experiences we have had and tried to make in the past and newly every day.  We also have to be careful what we take into our mind because it can distort values we have or want to keep for ourselves or the ones we love.  For instance, some may not view pornography as wrong but meditating on it can lead to individuals who are viewing it to do wrong things and make bad choices at an early age in life before they are truly mature.   It is so interesting to see so many people in the world take so many paths to try to find the right God and not think that the other person is making the right choices in their effort.  It is sometimes good to be critical. Usually, in many cases one religion advocates themselves and warns about another because they individually believe that theirs is more right in God’s eyes and makes more sense.   In another case, you might meet a neighbor that is predatory and does not realize that the way in which he approaches coming onto a lady is not right in most social norms of other peoples eyes because his father treats women the same way or his Mom was raped when she was young and it didn’t matter what was right or wrong for her either.  Usually, theory, logic or hypotheses, are perspectives widely believed, and there is an amount of considerable evidence making that logic to be a sound and true statement possibly being shown in the choices being made in a usual adults life.  Even with criminals, it boils down to the human emotions and distorted perception one is experiencing that usually gets them into trouble with the law before they make a realization it is the law, it is there for a reason and if they don’t follow it, it will catch up with them.  In many cases, there are sad horror stories and people are lost in a perspective thinking that what they are doing, such as killing another person who is innocent, molesting or taking advantage of young child is perfectly and logically acceptable when it is not.  Sometimes things happen that we have no control over.  Yet, if we care about the people we love we should carefully pick and choose perceptionally about what we view as right.   Each and every individual deserves to be treated human. Yet, it is an eye for an eye.   However, it is hard sometimes to see through situations with suspected people and their actual true knowledge of whether what they did to something or someone else is wrong or ok in terms of logic.  In many cases, some people claim to be mentally impaired when they are not and logically are trying to get away with murder while others have had to defend their own lives and it has caused a death.  At all causes justice is needed and injustices from person to person should be avoided.  The way people associate the things as right and wrong is most likely adhered to by what they’ve grown up to know as social norms.  From one town to another and across the world, right and wrong are opposites of each other and because humans choose not to try to understand or work with each other there are violent deaths and injustices every day. For example, in the United States one might trust a Jehovah’s Witness but in Africa Jehovah’s Witnesses are considered devil worshippers.

                Forensic analysts are trained psychologically to have a certain perspective for a job to retrieve evidence from using DNA from the human genome in different ways.  Blood samples and swabbed sites are usually kept for evidence processed by DNA technology in a lab through enzymes to make duplication or procession through the knowledge of links of the DNA genome.  Biologists are trained to perceive through sciences that through their knowledge of the human genome cures and therapeutic treatments can be found through their research and observation of what they see about the knowledge they learn every day through trained eyes.  A student, studies for the classes learning what may affect them greatly and give them knowledge about the career that they are choosing to learn about which leaves them with all with a certain retentious perspective that benefits them.    Perception is truly a gift, greatly valued and a widely perceived thing on various different levels and circumstances.

Gun Violence: The World Is Forever Changing

If you think about it, the World changes a billion times over everyday.  It takes a United World to HOPE, to be JUST and to BELIEVE that there can be a better world for all its inhabitants.  It takes a United World to stop crimes against Humanity.  It takes a United World to bring better approaches to HEALING and HEALTHCARE for those across the World such as Africa who needs it not only for Adults but also for Children.  Many of times there are shootings and acts that go on unjustified.  Just showing up for work could be one's last day alive! Are you going to judge that person in the last day of their life because they didn't wear the right tennishoes or do something you wanted them to do? The World can truly have a sad or happy tone.  But it depends on those who are a part of this world to do their part to make the world a safer place.  Once again, my heart goes out to those in D.C. at the Navy who have gotten shot at work and also for those in Damascus, Syria who are suffering and feel the need for chemical warfare.  Let the Cold War be over and Let those suffering find what they need before these incidents take place.  We really should as Nations Unite for better healthcare and safety for our citizens.  Protection and Love is something we all need.  If the Nations act as a Big Brother to those who are struggling in producing Chemical Weapons that bring ruination to life or already has it should be to the benefit to everyone shall it not?  Hopefully force would not be needed to make them realize the threat it carries to humanity in general and that it could hurt them worse more than anybody else they attempt to try it.  If they could just have Hope and just Believe and see that they  can prosper in their actions as they are they would be just fine.  My great and wonderful boo asked me today, "Why are they complaining in the U.S. of gun violence if they are too stubborn to have guns and keep them?"  The U.S. is in an everlasting battle to make the world a better place for its citizens and it is something they take seriously.  Gun violence has become quite a problem.  Many ppl aquire guns initially to protect themself and then become vulnerable to using them in other situations in which they act on their feelings rather than thinking of the consequences of their actions.  In those cases, it would be better off to not own a gun.  That my friend will be a long story and I hope one day this GREAT WORLD  CAN BE TRULY UNITED, SAFE & JUST THANKS TO OUR EVERYDAY HEROES.  Wouldn't you want a world that would help you to practically live for years upon years?  The WORLD IS FOREVER CHANGING AND IT IS EITHER GOING TO BE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. IT IS UP TO US TO MAKE OUR BRIGHT WORLD SHINE IN LOVE AND PEACE!

My Thoughts About Syria and the Middle East

So...I guess I'm kinda saddened by what is happening in the Middle East in Syria and even in Lebanon and I hope and pray we don't have to go to War but that the internationally known brotherhood, ambassadors or even military police can somehow straighten out the injustices that go on over there everyday.  I don't think I would know how to act if our government had committed an act of chemical warfare and even though I'm neutral I still feel sorrow for those suffering in the lands over there.  I just wish that Jehovah could help Mankind attain Peace and yet I'm not giving up and neither are they!  To think we have become an international community who is stepping up to care about one another excites me because I hope and begin to think the world is becoming a better place for ppl all around the world all the time.  It's so sad though to see acts of warfare. My heart is just moved for those involved and I hope I can pray for those responsible. Now it's Syria. Lebanon was having some trouble too.  May the international brotherhood stand for blessing the nations with their due recompense.  Either good fruit or bad fruit.  It's sad to see a human suffer because of bad decisions made. It's even worse when the chemical warfare was an attack on humanity.  I was reading the stories and the comments that followed involved lies.  I think we will all always have our own opinions but we must speak and show truth to one another in order for God to ordain us as ministers to stand for humanity rather than break the links of blood inherited by those who suffer atrocity unsuspectedly and innocently.  Yet, some are not innocent and must suffer the consequences not only on judgment day by God but also by our human governments who are acting against it to make the world a better place.  For those who sacrifice for us daily.  May their lives be blessed, because no human should be forced to deal with messes and atrocities such as these that happen daily based upon the accounts of human injury or grudge that they hold against them.  One day may peace and God be with us all.  May the truths set you free and help you to realize the real world and what it is exactly supposed to be like.  Bless ambassadors involved and police and military who make the greatest things happen.  I think the international community will just have to bring the world together to show them just how much we care and that'll be ok again.
