Christianity
was the first religion. Christianity is also not a religion at the same
time. The 2nd religion was Islam, named after Ishmael, the 1st son of
Abraham (not Lincoln). Later on came Buddhism. All religions copy from
Christianity, which use to be called Judaism. Joey Arnold.
Kathy
Thao Duong told me to be Buddhist. I was born and raised a Christian.
Now, "Christianity" is not actually a religion but more a way of life.
Jesus died to save you if you give your life to Him. Now, "Kathy" Phuong
Thao Duong, wants me to change my religion. I told her I can try. Next
Sunday, we are going to a Buddhist temple so I can inherit a Buddhist
name. For now, my name is Joey Arnold, your Original Oatmeal.

How
often are you told you want too many things in your life? People ever
tell you that your dreams are too big? How many times do others say that
you cannot fulfill your destiny? How many times do people want to put
you in a box? The famous artist musician Pink Floyd will tell you are
not just "Another Brick On The Wall."
Somebody is telling me that I want too many things. That I do not want know what I want in life in general. That I need to start putting my desires into action. That I rely on the thoughts and generousity of other people.
These words are coming from somebody who relies more on the traditions of others than I do. I have always known the things that I have wanted in life since I was a very young tadpole Nintendo boy in the ghetto of Forest Grove of Oregon of the United States of northern America.
I have wanted to travel the world and help others since I was eight years old or eight years young and I have had and do in fact put to action all of my ideas. Started acting and filming and directing and producing and editing and making movies and writing and drawing and making things since I was around the age of ten years old/young. My life is full of so many things because I want so many things.
I do not want too many things in life.
That is a pure lie that is very popular in every country of this globe. I have seen these kind of people many times. When I was around six years old, I ran into doctors and scientists and teachers who told me the same exact things with their closed minded perspective. They told me that I wanted too many things as well after I took this state test, since I was a homeschooler and Obama wanted to make sure that I was learning things at home school or he was going to sick his Dog Hitler on me and make me go to public school.
The results of my test said I was below a kindergarten level. This means I was about as smart as a three or four year old when I was about six or seven years old. They told my mother that they did not see a future in my horizon, that I would never ever pass the sixth grade, that I was clearly retarded, as in mentally challenged with bulky teeth and Clark Kent glasses. They looked at the pattern of my intelligence and decided to walk away thinking that I want too many things, that I cannot handle the things that I want.
Too often in life, we run into people that do not understand how the world really works. People are not always going to truly understand you enough. That is where I am right now and I feel kind of heart broken right now. I am not asking for a hug but I am trying to warn you about these bruises that occur on the journey through life.
People are not always going to support you.
Some people are kind of like my older sister in a bad. Some people think that we have to be able to explain fully what we want in order to make those things acceptable. Too often people think that if you can describe the plan then you do not have a plan. People throw this logic mostly at kids, which is very unfair to children.
I do not support people that think that there are ceilings to dreams. If somebody told you that you wanted too many things then that person is telling you that you need to cut out your heart and hope to die.
It is so sad that the very people that tell you to stop letting others think for you are actually the ones that are in fact letting others think for them.
They tell me to be independant.
There is no such thing as independance because we all rely on Christ who created and died for us. If we trust that Christ paid for our crimes against humanity, then we can be set free from the penalty. That is where we are. We rely on each other and we ultimately rely on Christ who is my Savior.
With Original Oatmeal in my delicious boul, is Jesus in your soul?
I am always told to stop letting people help me. No. That is bad. Why would I hinder people from their gifts and talents in life? Some people have the gift of hospitality and generousity. Some people enjoy helping other people. When I prevent those people from performing those duties then I dwarf them from their true potential as humans.
Can you want too many things in life?
Yes, you can want too many things in life. That is why you should pray and think and talk about it. I have spent my whole life weeding through my wants and needs in life. I am always pulling out things that I should not want and readjusting my bucket list.
You never know what is inside the hearts of others.
She asked me if I knew anything about philosophy and I kind of said that I did not know anything about philosphy. I have not really read books about philosophy. I have not really read books about anything really, apart from the Bible. I have not even read every inch of the Bible either. She asked me to name some philosophers and I could not think of any. I told her that where these ancoent men that I have heard of, but I am not sure if they were philosophers or not. People like Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Jesus, Shakespears, and I am Spartan off a cliff.
I told her that I was a philosopher. She laughed at that idea. She said that I could not be a philosopher. What do you think? People think that I am a philosopher.
Too often, we grow to expect certain kinds of answers. She was expecting me to say certain things. She has been brain washed to think that the world has to be a certain way. My pastor was like that. I wanted to be baptized but because I was not able to explain to him what baptism means he thought I was not ready and then he baptized my younger four year old sister.
I feel kind of betrayed right now.
