(#5951) Worshipping at the altar of contradiction

      Regardless if it is religion or political, no one belief or politician is worthy of our individual full trust. I have seen religious movements that attempt to bring all together but the methods used are lesser attractive and more fearmongering. I have seen politicians promise us all they could think of while only delivering disappointment after disappointment. I have lived long enough and learned that neither religion nor politics is fully trustworthy and/or absolute. Given the complexity of our species there are so many different aspects to who we are. Trying to fit us within some mold is a fool's errand. What I can say for sure that most all of us want is peace, knowledge, and happiness.
     Deliver those things and I won't care what you call it. I am one who has no belief about why we exist. I am also one who is wary of any politician who doesn't speak from their heart about truths and facts. I am not against religion as a personal observance but not as a nationalization. I am against politicians who speak out of both sides of their mouth, but will accept a politician who speaks truths and fights for them. I do not accept compromise in the area of intent. Either you want our existence to become a place of joy despite natural sorrow or you are a conman out to deceive for the purpose of otherworldliness.
     I prefer the current state I exist in within my own mind. It is a generally happy place where the good in the world is highlighted and the bad is thrown on the pile of disgust. If I could eliminate the bad I would and have no qualms about it. I don't adhere to some irrational concepts that have no thing to do with my current existential surroundings. I am alive in this existence and that is where I live. I accept what is here with respect and obliging honor. My own inculcated prejudices are not allowed and have been dismissed by me long ago. I have grown up here in existence to know that I am but one among billions and that the future is not mine to hold. However I can presently be a positive example of what kind of human being I am so others may do similarly for themselves.
