Riddle 4 - What is Being?

Well you ready for the answer to last week's riddle?
First here's last week's riddle:

The root of all sin, it creates not life but death,
Our only solution is to have none,
But even if we declare it, it is still there,
Present in the darkness of our hearts,
Even the purest,
It is our greatest defeat.

Did you get it?
The answer was:

Pride!



Reason? Well I thought of it during the week, while contemplating (peripherally) on a book I had read, it's not the root of all evil, since it's one of the Seven Deadly Sins, and I don't really think it's key, but in the book I read it was kind of what the author was implying, but it is a cause for sin, and I thought, well what is the root of all evil? I thought about how Satan had betrayed God, how he used to be the Morning Star. It was because of his selfishness, that he turned away from being a steward of Humankind, and instead became our greatest threat. So I came to the conclusion that selfishness is the root of all sin, (as is money, such as declared by Jesus) but in all essence, it is because we want what we want, and not what we need that selfishness takes its root. Even if we say we aren't, we are. Just because we give money away, or spend time with the poor, we only spend a limited amount, we don't actually give thought to what we do. So some philosophy there but hey... you never know.

So you ready for this week's one?
Here we go:

We do not exactly know what it is,
We say it is, but not what is thought,
It is different for another when it is true for one,
They are never the same, yet it is one,
It cannot be described, nor shown,
No matter how others try.
It cannot be true, as it can be altered,
It cannot lie, as it tells the truth.

What do you think?

Again answers can be posted as a comment so please...COMMENT!!!! 

That is all!

By the way, this picture has no reference to the answer, I put it up, because it reflects the thought of life, how magnificent and mysterious it is, we don't really think at all, and just take it for granted. AGAIN THE PICTURE IS NOT MINE!!! I just used it for inspiration, click on the picture to see who actually made it.

Riddle 3 - Good or Evil

Last week's riddle was:


What has an eye, but cannot see,
It is a danger to you and me,
What is created, but does not create,
It is what we fear when it wakes,
What causes death, at the peak of life,
It has no fear, it has no strife.

Did you get it?
The answer was:

A Storm!


(This is not mine by the way!)

The reason behind this riddle was that I was in the middle of a very mild snow storm and thought about it. In any storm a life is taken, whether it be a blizzard, hurricane, tornado or even a forest fire (if you think about it as a storm). It reminded me of how short life truly is, so we must remember to live it, and live it to the full, as in Latin, my school's (old) motto: "Vive Ut Vivas", it's actually changed, due to a change in headteachers last year, to "Courage and Confidence"...it is actually quite relevant to the old one, since it does take courage and confidence to live a full life.

So, this week's riddle, get ready:

The root of all sin, it creates not life but death,
Our only solution is to have none,
But even if we declare it, it is still there,
Present in the darkness of our hearts,
Even the purest,
It is our greatest defeat.

Again I will be waiting for answers that are posted, so please...COMMENT THE ANSWER THAT YOU THINK IT IS!!!!

Riddle 2 - What Am I?

So last Wednesday I posted up a riddle, that went something like this:


It has no future or history,
It is always a mystery,
However hard we look,
It is something others have took,
It's not wanted when found,
But is needed all around.

What am I?

The answer was:

Love!


(This is not mine by the way!)

The reason behind this riddle, was because I figured that everyone needed a little love, and a riddle like this one will always find its answer in the deepest recesses of someone's heart, so if you know anyone who really needs this love, share it with them. ^^

So are you ready for the next one?

Here it is:

What has an eye, but cannot see,
It is a danger to you and me,
What is created, but does not create,
It is what we fear when it wakes,
What causes death, at the peak of life,
It has no fear, it has no strife.

Again I will be waiting for answers that are posted, so please...COMMENT THE ANSWER THAT YOU THINK IT IS!!!!

That is all!

By the way, this picture has no reference to the answer, I put it up, because it just snowed today!! I wish it settled!!! AGAIN THE PICTURE IS NOT MINE!!! I just used it for inspiration!

Anti-Social Time! Bad I Know

What happens, when you finish filming for an assignment for school, and you now have free time with your family, meaning, your cousins are the ones in your film...plus a sister who is (suspiciously) ADD...Well I can tell, your ire will rise...this is what I'm going through right now.

When we finished working on my coursework, of course, with a good amount of work done, and respectfully with a really good job well done, we were going to watch TV and have a round of card games...Then it happened.

Recently my father bought a cable that hooked up our computer to the TV screen, now we can watch whatever is happening on the computer, on the TV, that's not the part that got me mad. I suggested that we watch something on the computer, since there was nothing on TV of value...when I started to put something on, my sister...MY SISTER! mind...suggested something else, so I changed whatever we were gonna watch to what she suggested then, as the video so slowly loaded, she suggested going back...

Now I know that could easily be overlooked, however due to HER distraction, I COULD NOT GAIN ANY INFORMATION FROM MY GUESTS ABOUT WHAT THEY WANTED TO SEE...of course it would have been background noise, but still...if they wanted they could watch, instead of playing something they may have found boring...

I was giving them the option of an entertainment that didn't involve too much brain power, or physical exercise, since we moved a lot during the day, and had to do a lot of things. I was merely suggesting for them to relax...BUT NO!!!!!

My irrational sister (irrational being INDECISIVE!) had to increase my temper by DISTRACTING them so I could NOT extract ANY information from my cousin, for whatever they wanted to watch. So now...I had nothing to do but comply...vehemently, to prove my point. I decided then and there, that I would just turn the TV off, so that they could interact, and "play", while I was stuck doing something on my own...I know anti-social...but I have a good reason, I don't want my sister to DICTATE WHATEVER WE DO!!!!! They were my guests, not hers...If she wanted do whatever she wanted, she should have invited them HERSELF!!!! NOT BEING LAZY AND HAVING ME DO ALL THE WORK!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, I shall conclude my irate rant, here, and sulk a bit more, doing whatever, as my sister plays with my naive cousins...As always do what you will with this rant!

Wednesday 9 January 2013

I found a new hobby!!

Ok, so seeing as how I no longer have much rants in me, due to revising and whatnots...I have decided to take up riddling...yes, riddling...so I will give you the riddle and next week I will post up the answer for it, along with next week's riddle, mind, I just thought of this today, so there will be a short window, as I will post up the next riddle on Monday. So BEWARE!!!! Plus, you can try to answer the riddle in the comments box below the posts.

So...

It has no future or history,
It is always a mystery,
However hard we look,
It is something others have took,
It's not wanted when found,
But is needed all around.

What am I?

Mind there will be no hints, you must use your brains for these riddles!!! Good Luck!
