High on Sunshine and Good Music
Last night there was.. the Jack Johnson concert! I think I migh have enjoyed Eddie Vedder and Matt Costa even better, (Jack was a little out of practice) but it was all very relaxed and amazing! You know it is Hawai'i after all... you wander in, you spread out your little mat somewhere on this huge grass field spread out your snacks and pretty much have live music entertainment from 3 till 10pm. First in the shade of some trees with a view of Diamon head later with a warm breeze in the dark, what else do you want.. some people stand, some people sing, some people get really drunk and some people get very high, but all in good spirit. It was absolutely incredible!
This morning I woke up too early (what's new) and made a good attempt at starting my essay. Just read it and it sucks, but at least I got it started. Then prepared a picknick and hung out with some friends at Kapiolani beach under a really big tree, had too much good food, and a swim and some sun and now feel like I could be on a holiday.. wrong mindset!
Of course when my mind gets a break from normal things it rapidly falls back into random sh*t so be prepared to be entertained. See I was wondering about myths, because there are an aweful lot of defenitions for it. So here is my piece of cake.. yes I actually thought this all up while lying on my back and slowly being washed ashore by the waves (I float well).
So God created us in his shape, but didn’t we create the Gods in an equal way? When we look at pictures form the Norse God they look like their people, when we look at the Hindu Gods, they take their skin colour and integrate their sacred animals into their looks. Isn’t Jesus portrayed differently depending on which group of people is expressing their faith in him? It seems like it is a dual dependency. There are stories of Gods that ceased to exist when people stopped to believe in them, fairies that disappeared from the forests and dwarfes that stopped helping the people. It seems to be like that with any kind of dream. When you stop dreaming the reality of it is gone, when you stop believing in the life of the earth, it dies.

Doesn't that somehow all sound extremely peaceful and comforting? It would mean that all you'd have to do to know for sure there is a god, is to believe in it, wich puts the power right back in our own hands :)
We'd be able to shape the world according to our own 'fantasies' :D
