Beliefs

Something funny occured today. Am i suppose to be superstitous? Or shall i maintain my rational. Here goes. My dad's a buddhist, a very strong one too. That includes me.

Basically, a few mantras, in my hands. And sometimes i do think it works. Especially when i needed loads of help. Previously, i was approached by a few from other religions. Once? A christian told me, she gain confidence when she prayed to god. I have better life examples. My sis, is stronger because she got to know christ himself. She opened her heart to it.

Seeing indians, being punctured at their faces with long sharp sticks. And unbelievably, no stains of blood, not even a hole on their faces.

I always respected other religions. And i always, if given a chance want to explore more of their culture. But in my own opinion. I believe, all religion comes to one aspect. Faith.

When you have faith in your religion, you believe them. You practice the culture and the methods, because you believed it helps. I meditate. Because i believe it helps me to relief myself.

You see, many people converting from one religion to another. Are they betraying their true self religion? NO!This is because man have their brains to choose and justify which to believe. And when they found their faith in one thing? They will stick to it.

Everything is the same. Is just a matter on, how you wish to see it, and how you want yourself to believe it. When humans believe on something? They tend to neglect other judgements. At times rather defensive too. This is because we choose not to change our perspectives in certain things.

As an example, you believe that by doing good, you'll end up in heaven. Not all think that way? Christinity would say that only by asking for divine forgiveness, you'll unite with God. Buddhism mentions that, one has to end their suffering of their past karma, to achieve enlightenment. Hinduism, believe in reincarnation, and their purpose of life is to attain moksha.

At the end of the day, it still ends in the humans hands,mind. Which we choose to believe, and what faith we have in. I still think that, one should believe in themselves, no matter what religion you are, do good, find your purpose in life. Have strong faith in what you believe and stay happy and cheerful alwayz.

It is difficult to find someone who thinks exactly like you. Who believes things like you do. For those who differ from others, it is not that you're odd, and you need a change of thinking. But rather understand others, knowing the difference and intergrate. You dont' need to change,but be open, and accept others. Unity doesn't only happens because you share common thoughts,but because of intergrating and tolerating each other.

Have faith in what you believe, whether its superstitous or not. It doesn't matter. Many claimed their religion help them in respective ways. Don't doubt, look for the picture,look in the picture.

Judge as an outsider, don't comment if unneccesary. Be what you want and do good. Think good.
