Children of a starWritten by Jesse S. Somer
A lot of people in our world tell stories. Stories can add insight into meanings of our lives as well as being mediums for transferal of wisdom and knowledge. A story that interests me is story of us: children of a star, a star we call Sun. Oh sure there are many texts out there that explain who and what we are. Some are religious, others deemed to be scientific. I have always found most of these stories to be a little too complex when explaining reality of our existence here in Universe. What if answers are actually too simple, shining right above us, and yet that is ironically reason that we are blind to them? They are simply too obvious! Let’s start at logical beginning: Big Bang, God’s creations…call it as you see it my friends. I see a giant fireball burning in darkness of space. Obviously ‘darkness’ is where it came from. How it came to be, I don’t really know, but I can say that it’s really cool that it is there: Really cool. It’s also pretty awesome to be forms of life energy that have come to be because of that fireball’s radiant energy. We are literally made up of essence of ‘Sun’: children of a star. I don’t see too many people today worshiping Sun like ‘ancient’ Aztecs, but why not? It makes our world come to life; it makes skies of blue. Like all living things, end of story is same. We call process: death. One day Sun too will die, incredible to think, and it probably won’t happen for another 5 billion years, but just same it means our little Earth story will come to an end. I doubt very much that story of Universe will ever end, its infinite space and time power is a bit over my head, or is it? It could be really simple: a story that never ends, an energy that never is truly born or dies because it has simply always been.
| | The future successes are in the realm of creativityWritten by Jesse S. Somer
For a long time now business, commerce and law have been main areas of study for students who wish to become successful in our modern materialistic society. Places like Harvard Business School were where so-called elite elements of human intelligence hoped to be trained so that they could then reach highest ranks of status and wealth. Well, things are changing. This is because these people are now being outsourced. Presently, companies can get same jobs done by people from India and Asia for one fifteenth of what it costs to rent an overpriced white collar American or European. The future no longer lies in these areas of financial process. The future successes now lie in ideas. The poor, starving, struggling artists are kingpins of tomorrow. Creativity is now being seen as desired quality for positive growth in any and every industry in our world. Who cares about how good you know systems of finance? The question now is: How are you going to innovate and create ideas that further society and incite others to participate in your areas of interest? Artists are now being sought after by businesses to produce imagery that inspires both investment and consumption. Idea creators are desired for their ingenuity and ability to change ways in which society functions. We all know that only constant in life is fact that all things are in constant flux, perpetual change. So, how are you going to create changes that further society? Half way through this article I realized that I had to go to toilet, but after entering lavatory found that toilet paper was non-existent. As I work for a web hosting company that is quite relaxed about these things, I decided to get a breath of fresh air and go down to corporate supplier and buy some. As I walked down hot summer street with a package of 48 rolls of poo-wiping tree matter on my head, African style, I wondered if it might not be ironic that this crapping paper was sitting so close to my brain. Maybe I’m full of s*#t and creative people are always going to be thought of as people who just suck off rest of society only to fulfill their unworldly whims. I don’t think so. Business graduates may have once been in a position of absolute authority, where they could charge as much as they want for use of their special hard-to-come-by services. Now however, tables have turned. Oh yes, society may still function with whole capitalistic financial game, but can you tell me of ten accountants and lawyers that changed face of world. Can you?
