Ah, some of the notions have returned...

While looking over Avenged Sevenfold's material to see what else the kids have been up to I found a couple of vids that seem to have struck some nerves.  Like them?  Well, yeah, to a degree.  Not as much as that first vid I showed but not bad.  They aren't quite as heavy as it seemed.  But they have some talent, they do work their songs to mean something.  They are writers, not just players.  Nice.

This first one is... how my life seems.  I am alive, healthy, sane, bright, strong, perhaps a little special... but... stuck in flesh that won't work, can't work.  Oh, and yeah, it gets me down sometimes.  But then... I think of those who this song is really written for, those who are going to hell.  I would very much rather suffer such a fate within a set period of time.  Hell is forever, and at best is bad like the song and what we have heard.  At worst hell is beyond mortal notions.   Literally, light yourself on fire, feel the pain, but never get beyond the pain or die... ever.  Only... worse.  The sad thing?  It is fully a choice.

The next song... Think of a man strong with God.  Those who are not good, but yet who want to be near him... will burn.  They will either have to change, remain in extreme pain while with him, or leave and never return.  To those who cannot change or go away, if God has willed this man to be, he will be their destruction.  Through his life he may wonder if he is evil, for he sees the destruction he seems to cause.  It takes time to understand that some people who are ultimately evil will be drawn to him, both to change him and to change themselves, but the process is... always problematic.  Those who change will have an opportunity at a new and future life.  Those who don't will perish.  He is a God made destroyer, gate, transformer, minor hope?  No, he isn't salvation, or God, but he knows those or... They know him... or he is Theirs... something. The song... has meaning to me.

There is another notion I will eventually get to.  I am simply not up to it right now.  Some things take a long time to say, say rightly.  I don't mind if no one hears, I don't care if no one reads, but if I am going to say some things, they have to be said, or written, in the correct sequence and with the right words, nuance, principles, and such.  It is sort of like differential equations.  If you don't do it exactly correctly you might as well stick with trial and error to find a near enough result.  Don't go messing with the formulas, they aren't simple but they do work, every time, within their domains.

Later.
