Do you believe in miracles?

Do you believe in miracles?

For thousands of years, many of us believed in miracles, which were considered a surprising and welcome event that was not explainable by natural or scientific laws as we knew them. Accordingly, because we had no explanation of what happened, we considered the event the result of an intervention of a supreme agency. Those that believe in a supreme agency have different visions of what that agency is and how the agency interacts with humans. That difference in vision has resulted in many terrible actions between humans. Some who believe in one vision, attack those who have another vision of this supreme agency.

As our understanding of natural and scientific laws expanded, those events which we used to consider miracles are now seen in a new light. But because many of us believe in a supreme agency we continue to believe in the idea that miracles can and do happen. 

I believe that we are in control of how we react to the events in our lives and because we are, we create our own miracles. Because we are in control we are entitled to as many miracles in a day that we want. You could create as many miracles as breaths you take. You control the events in your life; you control how they unfold, you control the miracles that happen in your life and any miracles you don't use, you can carry them over. 

All you have to do to create the miracle is expect it, then you will create the miracle you need.

Good point. I had forgotten about Geocities. I guess I was too young at the time too!

Interesting idea Zacharias, beBee is a special social media concept, but it was not the first to build on the idea of a community without exploitation of personal information and impersonal connections. Those familiar with the early days of the Internet may remember a platform started in 1994 that had the aid of creating this type of community it was called "Geocities". I agree that beBee is special but it was built, I think, on ideas that have circulated around the net for years, and the builders of beBee and the technology finally caught up with the dream.

Still, miracles (or Black Swans as they are often called nowadays) do happen, due to situations beyond our control. Take beBee for example. Who would have thought that a social medium that's actually useful in both professional and personal ways can exist in our day and age, when everything seems to be going towards exploitation of personal information and impersonal connections that facilitate ads?
