Lego Angels

July 29th, 2010

Do angels exist? Yes they do if you are from a Lego town or city. Many people claim that angels exist but no one can actually prove that they do but whether they are for real or not, angels are very famous.

What Are Angels?

According to the Christian belief system, angels are messengers of God but according to popular culture, there are good angels and dark angels. The Fallen are a very interesting topic of discussion among those who are fascinated by these beings. To Lego enthusiasts however, angels are just a creation that needs a lot of attention. The term angel was derived from the Greek Angelos which  meant messenger. It is not only in the bible that angels are mentioned. In Greek mythology, Cupid (an angel) is his mother’s messenger of love. His mother is the Goddess of beauty and love. There are many other accounts of course and this just proves that the love for angels goes far back.

Although the bible is the most popular resource for God’s angels, it is said that their origins date back to the ancient Persians. The Persian religion of Zoroastrianism was the most popular and most powerful religion during 559 BC to 651 AC. The said religion mentioned patron angels that their followers prayed to in times of need.

Angels are also present in Buddhism. Also known as devas, these celestial beings’ function are mainly to protect humans. In Tibet, angels are described as enlightened beings. The bodies of these angels are usually just made out of light or energy but in some schools of Buddhism, these beings are also depicted as humans with wings.

In Hinduism, angels are described as the shining ones because of the light they emanate. Although these angels are not described as protectors or messengers, they are considered as spirits that live in a higher astral plane.

Lego Death

July 26th, 2010

Death is an unfriendly thought -a foe to most and a friend to some but for those who have thought about death at one point or another have depicted it in so many ways. Many have painted death and have associated it with fear, uncertainty, and hell. Some have personified death through a ghastly, hooded figure while others have used Death in cartoons. Those who love Lego bricks on the other hand have used the Danish blocks to depict death and its colors.

The photo above is one example but death of course is not always this bloody. Animals, plants and human beings die because this is a process that every living thing must go through. Death is defined as the end of life. More often than not, good people die earlier than others but those who do harm to fellow human beings usually get death threats. Death threats are messages either left over the phone, said face to face or sent through mail.

Death threats are sent to those who have lots of enemies and more often than not, they are just threats where no action is done to make the threat come true.

To Christians, death is associated with heaven and eternal life while other religions associate the said process to reincarnation. Whichever floats your  boat, death is usually something that not too many people want to talk about. It is a good thing that there is really no such thing as Lego Death because Legos are not capable of dying. They have been here for a very long time and they will be here for maybe a few more years or even a century.

If Legos will die eventually, Lego fans are sure that they will be revived one way or the other because these bricks are just too amazing to just be spirited away.
