Personal Meditation No. 32

"All beliefs are irrational and silly when you use logic to understand them."

Embrace the Within.

Have you really analyzed what you believe. If you have then you’re doing better or worse than most people. I’m sure you’ve heard the term NPC being thrown around a lot these past few years but there is a lot of NPCish behavior filling society today. Folks that fall into their scripts and function just like the system has preordained for them.

I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a curse to be able to question things. I really don’t know if I’d trade thinking about things for a determined set of responses but I do know I don’t have the choice. And you probably don’t either if you’re reading this far.

So, whenever anyone has it all figured out, that kind of makes me frightened . . . a lot. I’m spending each day trying to work things out and figure things out. And I’ve haven’t had it all figured out since I was a teenager. But some folks do. They have found an answer. They have found the way. They have set into the system that works for them.

And that would be all well and good if they just lived that life. But that never seems to be enough. Does it? Folks have to go out and forcefully convert the world. They created their god and now they need to recreate the world in its image. A violence of religion.

And religion isn’t just concerned with Sunday Church and scripture posts but with a devotion to something greater than yourself. Something external to live towards. A lot of these gods take on the likeness of people. Like a god has to be created in our image . . . A god created by us and for us.

Anyways, a lot going through my mind today about the silliness of religion and beliefs. They’re totally irrational and emotional ideas that we use facts to justify. But they don’t stand under great scrutiny . . . Even yours . . . Even mine. But, let’s keep thinking they do.

I hope you find whatever you’re looking for. Have the day you want.
