Lol my fault breh, I just really dig talking about God and Theology. if I run off into subjects too heavy my mistake breh.
and the reason why I don't think we should worship our parents is because at the end of the day, even though Your Mother and Father gave you life, you're worshipping the creation (Your Parents) and not the Creator (The being who made your parents). We as humans are easily flawed. we have our own ways of understanding and viewing things. we can and are greatly influenced by own upbringing and parents but that's not a reason to make your parents the God/Gods in the sky. I hope when I have kids that I can influence them to be positive people, but I don't ever want them thinking I'm above fault or flaw because that creates a dangerous psychological environment for the child as they grow.
I also agree with you, I do not think we should ever praise or worship anything blindly or with poor understanding. BUT, it does have some positive effects sometimes. like a street nikka who is a complete savage having a life altering experience and then beginning to blindly follow Yahweh or Allah or whatever, and actually becomes a less hostile/violent person. that's a positive but it's also a negative (if you follow me).
the whole Understanding/Overstanding thing is personal preference. a Rasta broke it down to me one day and said they actually have a numerology system similar to the NGE. they(The Rasta Breh explained to me) place 0 (Cipher) above 1 (Knowledge) where as NGE places 1 (Knowledge) above all and places 0 (Cipher) at the base. he also explained to me that the Rastas like to use "Understanding" because you get to the root of the issue/topic in question and can get a clear view of how it spreads out and how it grows (effecting other things). but the NGE will say it's best to OVERstand something, be above it and can look down to see how it got to where it is now. they both they same (Understand and Overstanding).
and Fear lingers in all minds breh, the Brave will tell you they fear defeat the Weak will tell you they fear being dictated, defeated or control. Fear is a primal instinct which helps humans survive. the whole "Fight or Flight" thing. infact, there are parasites which can completely shut down fear centers in animals (including humans) making these animals (and humans) more prone to dangerous activity. Example,
There is a parasite which cause insects and mice to actually go seeking predators. by doing this, the parasite cause it's host to be eaten by the predatory animal, the predatory animal then infects more prey by it's droppings and such. in essence causing a cycle.
Some research has shown that thrill seekers or those that are addicted to adrenaline may actually have a mental disorder which shuts down or "mutes" their fear centers causing them to do reckless things.
