Some changes to Jagged Thoughts

The first thing is I have changed the design of this website. It was previously using a fairly dark format which was difficult to read and a bit cramped. So I’ve changed it to something a lot cleaner and easier to read. I like it a lot.

Secondly, I have decided to start writing what I call “lessons”. They are numbered lessons, but they’re not in any order at all. While I’m certainly not an expert, I’m very happy with how I live my life and my own view on how to live life happily. Most of the lessons I think will just be common sense to most people, but perhaps not.

A combination of things triggered me to start this. For one I think generally so many people seem to lack what I consider common sense: they’re going through life miserable, they make bad decisions daily, they focus on the wrong things. Another thing that to be honest completely confuses me, are certain people that seem intelligent, yet they are very religious. My problem with this is that I’m not religious in the slightest. Looking at christianity specifically, what they base their beliefs on, the virgin birth of jesus, that jesus is the son of god, and was resurrected from the dead, not to mention the other great number of fictional stories in the bible. How anyone with half a brain can believe any of this when there are so many more logical explanations is beyond me.

One thing sort of useful that christianity teaches are the 10 commandments. I say sort of useful because the first half are rubbish, but the second half are common sense things. Don’t murder, don’t steal, etc. My lessons will be what I believe to be common sense, basically how I think everyone should I think. I’m not commanding anyone to follow these, I merely hope that at least 1 person benefits from reading at least 1 lesson.
