Why do we even have the word "miracles"? I think it just sets up us to think that they exist, that they exist on a regular basis, that they exist enough for every human being to see one or be part of a miracle at one point in their lives.
So just by having this word exist does it make you feel like it's going to be something you will see? And even if this word does exist what would you classify as a "miracle"? What's the difference between a miracle or just being lucky? So be honest, do you think that there are some things that could be classed as a miracle?
I know that all miracles aren't going to be like the parting of the sea, the feeding of the 5,000, David and Goliath. I am not religious, but reading/hearing these miracles, doesn't it just make you wonder and compare what sort of "miracles we see today?
So can we really class something really lucky as a "miracle" if we compare what others have told us? How do we really believe in such a thing as miracles if we never see them ourselves?
So the word may be misleading but maybe it gives hope to those who have nothing else to hope for. But doesn't that just mean that they have a false sense of security? They have given themselves false hope?

My personal view is that 'miracles' and 'being lucky/unlucky' is really subjective. If you belive something is lucky, then it becomes lucky because you might feel more optomistic and then take more opportunities, if you have a lucky object for example. I also love that picutre.
ReplyDeleteI guess it's more about if you tell yourself it is lucky then you will have a better day and associate that with what you believed was a lucky sign. I love that picture too, it's the blue colour, it's bright and yet deep at the same time :)
