Bad Weeks and The Bible

I watched Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom recently, and I did not think that it was very good. There were these cliched villains of evil businessmen motivated by money and characters who simply made poor not-thought-out choices throughout the movie. Many movies have some sort of social commentary, and I am fine with it, but for some reason, I just could not overlook it with this movie. There was a strong animal/dinosaur rights motif throughout the movie, and I just felt that it was beating me over the head with it. 

I have to say that besides not being too fond of the movie, I just wasn’t too fond of this week in general. I faced a good amount of rejection from literary agents and from women as well, along with the first time that I caused a car crash. Everything that went wrong this week in some form negatively affects my three goals: getting a literary agent, getting a girlfriend, and buying my own place. It is very difficult and my motivation is not exactly high right now, but I know that I must continue trudging forward despite this so that I can reach these goals.

One positive of the week is that I finished the Old Testament of The Bible. Here is what I observed from reading it:
1. If I were to sum up what The Bible is so far, I’d say that it’s a story about the human condition. Reading through The Bible, people seemingly made the same mistakes over and over again. It seemed that the natural inclination of man was to sin, starting with Genesis and continuing onwards. 
2. Liberty was not a natural value or instinct for mankind. There was always a sense of bondage that could either be physical captivity or some sort of personal mental imprisonment. 
3. People had a natural predisposition to worship, whether it be the one true God, or other gods. One king seemingly made a golden calf and started to worship it simply because he could, for example. 
4. This was not a particularly nice or kind book in regards to humanity. I think that many people get it wrong thinking it’s all about miracles, supernatural things and do’s and don’ts.
