Santa Clause Is Real We look at society and examine all that mankind is, all that he has done, and all that he will ever be; and we come to the realization, that we all want something to believe in. Whether we call our self a believer in Jesus Christ, a follower of Muhammad, or opt to believe in the Theory of Evolution. We have a craving; a desire if you will, to say "I believe!". So then when it comes to a moment in a child's life, that they are considered old enough to be told "The Truth", or to be told their belief is childish, or even when they themselves come to a supposedly conclusive fact, that the big man in white and red is a fabrication, it is a very sad moment. It is so sad, because man need to believe. And so I will stand in firm advocation, that "Santa Clause Is Real". no in order for maximum clarity, will present three points in the following order 1. Reality is subjective 2. Beliefs can go beyond reality 3. Santa Clause is intertwined with the very spirit Christmas itself so lets jump into my first point, Reality is subjective So many times in life we figure it all out. We know what's real, and what's not we understand that something either exists or it doesn't. For instance, heat and cold both exist. we know this because we can feel heat on our flesh and the same for cold. however this is really only an assumption. There is heat, and we can measure heat. but who's to say there is cold? Even in cold there exists minute amounts of, guess what? Heat. so while I may see 60 degrees as "Cold" some-one else may see it as perfectly warm. Cold is a very subjective thing. And in the same way, so is reality. If a person believes in Karma, then to them it is real, if a person does not (like me for instance) then it is not. if a person believes in luck, then luck real, if a person does not (again this would be me) then luck does not exist. Or another example for this, could be a cartoon character. Does Spongebob exist? Yes. Every single day Nickelodeon shows his show on their prime-time line up. go into a wal-mart and you can find his merchandise. So in the same way, who is to say that Santa Clause does not exist? so going on to my second point, Beliefs can go beyond reality. this point ties into my prior point on many levels. Reality is subjective to perception, and so a belief can go beyond the natural realms of reality. that's exactly what it is called a belief and not a fact. A belief is based on faith, not fact; so some-body can hold a belief with-out having any proof or probable reason for believing it. so regardless of whether or not your reality accepts the existence of old Saint Nick others in your life can believe in him, and that ultimately makes him very real to them. and finally we go to my third and final point, that Santa Clause is intertwined into the very spirit of Christmas itself. I ask you for a moment to set aside your personal beliefs to truly grasp the logic of this point. Now consider for a moment, I am a Christian; and I believe that I celebrate Christmas to celebrate my savior's birth, not to celebrate Santa Clause. However, consider the symbolism behind Santa Clause. He comes to people, and even thought he has no obligation to do so, freely gives to them. What did Jesus come and do? He freely gave his own life away, even though he had no obligation to do so. And so in closing, each and every single person needs something to believe. And when we keep in mind that reality is subjective, Beliefs can go beyond reality, and Santa Clause is intertwined with the very spirit Christmas itself. it would be foolish to say that the old man didn't exist. Whether or not he exists in a physical manifestation, or in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. The point is Santa Clause Is real.
