Magic, mystery and myth? (#1450)

No one alive can say what all things are about, whether something that we cannot understand exists or doesn't with absolute certainty. No one. Which is why we have so many who believe different things. Belief in something is a luxury we have found for ourselves in a world that at first glance can be harsh and uncaring. We find within ourselves a place in our minds that justifies what is good within us as possible in whatever dimension we have some semblance of hope. Why not? Most of are not subject to regal or royal birth rites. We are born into an existence that all too often confuses us with conflicting ethical standards. Some are left at the mercy of fate while others know no such despair. We need to know within ourselves that life is not some punishment for some unknown reason, instead we build scenarios where life is just our proving ground which instills within us a greater will to survive. We add to it our sense of decency and respect combined with principles of moral justice and then we have our vision of a belief. More than anything we hope that some sovereign being or creator has a control on destiny to such a degree that no matter how terrible our lives are they will someday be much better. Who is to say that this is real and who is to say it isn't. There is enough magic, mystery and myth in our world to always leave some tiny amount of doubt about what is really real and what isn't. However the case may be in the end we all will know but not until then so what I suggest is to leave every door ajar enough so that no door is ever closed to us. If anything is possible then all is possible.
