BLISS ..
- Extreme happiness; ecstasy.
- The ecstasy of salvation; spiritual joy.
The last 2 or 3 weeks I've been in a state of bliss. I've been really happy with my life, happy with a new found sense of self, happy with my job (even with the move and the venting), happy with my business (aside from the unprofessional client that made me want to strangle him, happy with being the snooze button for someone ..It's amazing that for me to be one to abhor change, at times I gladly embrace it as well. Bliss, extreme happiness; ecstasy. That just sounds JOYFUL doesn't it. Something new is going on in my life right now and I don't know when "it" happened, how "it" happened or how long "it" will have me feeling this way, but man, I'm kinda worried because I have an addictive personality and I'd hate to be strung out behind some bliss!
I did find it interesting that that definition included the ecstacy of spiritual salvation. I remember when I got saved for real (June 2003) and I was totally blissful that's for sure. That's not what I want to talk about though..I wonder where the phrase ignorance is bliss derived from and if it had anything to do with spiritual salvation. Meaning, were they dogging the folks for getting saved? Were they thinking that they're just too ignorant to know that salvation means nothing? I'm not really in a philosophical mood right now but seeing that made me think if some atheist came up with that phrase and people use it unknowingly the true meaning. I have a feeling I'm kinda right though and I'm not saying that in an arrogant manner, but I'm just saying.
Brown..out!
