Food For Thought
~ If you live according to a belief, are you truly living? Beliefs were imprinted
into the minds of generations of our ancestors, each different. Which one is the
right one? If there is no right one, why not create your own and live according to
that? If you follow simply because you’re afraid of being branded an outcast by
those who’ve been “brainwashed”, YOU’RE NOT EXPERIENCING ANYTHING OF YOUR OWN. It’s
easy to critcise the beliefs of others, but if there’s no truth to anyone’s beliefs,
you will have lost out on life.
These beliefs are general guidelines as to how you should live YOUR life, but does
that mean it should dictate it? This is often miscontrued by many and becomes
apparent when they try to force it onto others. Word of advice: don’t be
judgemental. It’s not your place to do so. If you’re forced into living by someone
else’s principles/morals, or scared that you’re going to get punished if you don’t;
you’re not a BELIEVER, you’re a coward, a puppet, a slave! ~
