Today is the shortest day of the year...in the sense of daylight hours that is. So now it gets brighter for every day. It's really needed as it is dark, cold and overall depressing. And supposedly dangerous to your health as well with the lack of vitamin D. Go figures. The environment is out to get us and we try to save it. Feels comfortable doesn't it?
Anyway, it's 3 days until Christmas. And then New Years. Nothing happens in between, nothing, whatever you here, nothing happens. Still, what is Christmas for? I know the whole Jesus story, the better of mankind, but I can't help but just feel so dirty with all the commercialism that has hijacked it and degenerated it to a holiday of greed fueled by the evil corporate companies. You know, finding the right gifts to everyone.Actually, it gone so far that I understand Scrooge in A Christmas Carrol by Charles Dickens. Living alone from the outside world not wanting to see the misery around you and hide in blissful ignorance. Why did the ghost have to drag him out in the evil world we live in? It doesn't get better if you transport the setting till todays world. I would guess that even the ghost would advise him to stay away. If he wasn't that sadistic at some times.
This leads to another question. If your actions leads to forging of chains that will bind you in your afterlife, what happens if you are just average? You know, more or less neutral? Do you get any chains for that? And how bad do you need to be to get a visit from the Christmas ghost?I would really like to get a status report to see if I'm on the right side of the good/bad scale, and how do you measure your actions. If you do something out of good that after a long chain of events leads to a very bad thing, does that affect the scale in a bad way? You know the saying,

Interesting things to think about during these times isn't it. I will probably get in something to morrow as well so you hav to wait for my Christmas thanks.
