Theory #10 - Theory of Angels

Each time i write these theories i can see i'm going further and further away from logic, and i can just HEAR the screaming replies trying to drill facts into my head.
lol.. i just can't help it though.

For all the angels out there..


Theory of Angels

Angels are all around us.. and most of us are too blind or ignorant to notice.

I started by getting definitions of "Angel" from casual resources and official ones. Generally they wear white robes, halos, wings.. inner light..

what i loved the most is that the actual definition of the word angel is not defined as the same thing everywhere you look. it can be the actual angels that god created, which even the description there isn't always definite.. always something to do with being loving, beautiful, kind, caring..
but you've heard the word "angel" associated with innocence and virtue, or as a messenger from god for good. I even remember reading an aaya in the quran that says god put angels on earth in human form. I wish i could remember which one to back me up, but you're just gonna have to trust me. many people i've realized though have very HIGH expectations of people they call angels. like they're supposed to be "perfect" to be called angels. i disagree with that idea.
if everyone can have a little devil and a little angel in them.. then why can't EVERYONE be an angel? we dont' have to be COMPLETELY pure and innocent to qualify for a halo. you could aspire to have angelic QUALITIES.. kindness, mercy, forgiveness, innocence, virtue, beauty, sincerity, honesty, generosity, understanding, love.. etc..
you dont' have to have ALL those qualities.. but even if you have ONE of those qualities... you're an Angel in my book.. in this world we live in that people lack so many of these qualities, it's a miracle if you have even one of them.

so why not? angels dont' have to be those white-dressed people or spirits created from god.
You are probably an Angel. accept that fact, embrace it. dont' get cocky or full of yourself.. but i'm sure to someone, you are an angel, and the world is a better place with you around. any one of you can be an angel.. appreciate those people around you too, the angels you have around you... they really are a blessing. and as corny as this sounds, the more angels we have around.. the more this world is gonna start looking like heaven.

as for the little devils in us... i'll leave that for another theory :)
