THE FORCE...?

Since the moment we start talking to other human beings, if they handle the same code as you, you are going to get (at least a little bit) a piece of that person. (Not literally, unless you were Hannibal Lecter). Within the society, words such as Sex, Politics or Religion, makes you look like a monster, because from the very first moment, you are getting into a universe of scenarios that most of people do not like to share or discuss (not even the code matters, it just doesn’t fit).

Today I have decided to write about the worst of the words presented in the previous paragraph: Religion. Because we live in a world that have been damaged by reggaeton, communism, Navegantes del Magallanes (a baseball team in Venezuela), or even by Vuuuuvuzelas (not Venezuela! Vu-vu-ze-la. Are we clear? Are you sure? Come on…repeat after me… Vu-vu-ze-la…there you go…)

Now, we believe in many people, ideas, aliens and stuffs like that. Please, get ready for my next line. According to “the Catholic bible”, we must obey, follow, respect, homage, follow the lider, lider, lider, follow the lider: only to God. I have not heard his word ever and I speak three languages so far (this is not really important, I am just bluffing, suck it!) I have not heard her word ever, and I speak three languages so far (this information is not really important, I am just showing off).

Actually, I have not heard its voice, word, noise, utterance or seen a signal and I have twitter+ facebook +skype +I speak three languages so far (I like to show off…hahahah I am just kidding!...well…)

The thing with “the bible”, “the word”, “the truth”, “the way”, “the path”, “le parole” (not parley, the French word that means word, as a noun. You are welcome) is that, apparently, we must not pay homage to entities, forces, Supreme forces, Yoda’s force, Gangster Squad (since the translation into Spanish of this American movie was “Fuerza Antiganster”) Power Rangers, Jingsaw, and so on… Catholics, get ready! If the F#@!/l’* bible says (or shows, since has no life) that it is only “God” that we must obey… why do you bow others? Such Saints, statues, forces, SUPREME forces, Zordon’s and so on? Why?

I guess that I must get ready in the next seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, journeys, journeys to other worlds, you know, underworld, infraWorld, Disneyworld, Jurassic Park, against the catholic and their established reasons. I am catholic, but there is a discomfort of mine, ok? By just using logic and discussing with atheists. God’s sakes!
According to the different languages, accents and dialects, I wonder…

How many languages, dialects, accents, and another human perceptions does God speak or handle? And what about the angels? I guess that they would be the translators during the whole Armageddon time. Actually, that picture would be like this:
- A big Telethon, or these kind of events, where you raise money for charities, health care programs and stuffs like that. While God, as the boss, would be signing papers, paying attention to the people who is alive and to those who were dead, the poor angels would be answering calls in different languages and accents around the whole world…
Situations like…
(1) –Yes ma’am. Do not worry. We know. You had a beautiful garden…we know…we know…we know…yeap. Ok thank you! UP

(2) –I am sorry, dude. We remember you on that trial. DOWN. Wait…What? Do not worry. All your colleagues will be with you, Lawyer! DOWN!

(3) –Yeah, Can I help you…? Sorry, we are not the “guys who sells pizza around the corner”. By the way, the world is about to end. Look at the sky! For GOD’s sakes! DOWN.

(4) –Salut! Comment Ça va? Excuse moi! Je ne comprend pas Chinois. Allo…Allo… Do we have someone who speaks Chinese…? D’ accord. UP!

(5) –Hi! Can we help you…? Once again, WE ARE NOT THE ONES WHO SELLS PIZZA AROUND THE CORNER!!! Well but…but…ok… “I’ll send you the number for you to buy the pizza.” DOWNNNN!

(6) –Yes, Can we help you…? Sure. We remember you. The police officer who saved the dogs from the shooting scene…yeah…that was amazing, by the way! Sure. Do not worry. SUPER UP!

As a Venezuelan society, we settle down too fast. A real shame. Imagine a country full of people working, hard- working, super hard-working, even though they finish a goal. Improving. Following the rules of the society. But no. What you see, it is people wasting energy, just complaining because the government says that they are living in a poor way, because of others but not them. Come on!

Do not believe this! Start looking for the truth. Not the force! I mean…you should have the strength, the force to accept a reality when comes up, but by your own concern of it. Study. Study. Study. Open your mind. Respect others way of thinking. Study a new language. Study your own language. Be conscious about the power of knowledge. Transmit that possible knowledge to others. Do not settle down. Keep growing as a citizen…as a men…as a human being. This planet needs you. Are you planning to move or do you want to call an angel? Be the force of change that Venezuela needs. That you country…needs.
