Belief


We all get what we deserve. Every single time, it's no lie. What goes around comes around, it's the balance. And it's the natural order of things.
God, are you awake? Just a silly child with a keyboard and a lot more questions than there are answers. Debatable? Most likely. God? The education that was provided for me and the generation i share my country with, wasn't really as clear as i hoped it would be. The answers i sought when i was young, plague me still. (And idk what's with the eloquence, just get on with it.) See, God, is real? After many conversations, shitload of research, brain exploading from all of the bullshit and lies and half-truths; It all comes down to belief. See, believing makes it real. So maybe for someone who doesn't believe, it isn't true, for someone who does, it is. Maybe, there is no ultimate truth? Am i becoming an agnostic little shit? Moving on. Things are as real as much as people give them credit for. See for example, for someone, revenge is just the logical next step, and for some it's forgiveness. And they both believe their way is the right way. A third party judges, but rarely does it say "thank you to the universe for not making me choose myself". It's easy to judge, and it's normal to judge. But what's the truth? Is it all circumstantial? Not always the truth, a grey area? Isn't fucking everything a fucking grey area? When you think about it, your actions are the right ones, you know it in your soul when you do it, but when you judge others? It's easy to be high and mighty when you're safe. It's easy to do shit when you have nothing to lose. It's easy. And you won't even know you're in the wrong, until you think about it really hard and maybe even then you won't fucking realise shit. Which is the most plausible scenario. There is black and white, right and wrong, true and false, and it's easy to pretend to know which is which when it's not your ass on the line. I say pretend, because, how the fuck can you be so sure? I'm telling you, good enough of an argument directed at an ignorant person can make them believe unicorns are real. But it's the balance. There are people who understand that their beliefs should evolve, and there are people who don't. Some understand that God is maybe the last crutch humanity has for it to maintain the belief in final judgement, for it to maintain hope.
But then again, is it easier to believe in the lie? Yes. Who am i to say that someone's beliefs are just fairytales. Who am i to question them. Who are you. People yearn to feel safe and sound. People need hope. Because the truth is, almost always, too hard to swallow. It's harsh and unforgiving. And it's universal. There are natural laws we see and have yet to discover. But there are, natural laws. And you couldn't do shit about them as much as you wanted to. So you let them have their fairytales, let them believe in what the majority wants them to believe. Let them fight the wars in the name of God, let them kill, let them rape, let them have all of the riches they'll spend in the afterlife. It's only as real as you want it to be. At some point you realise that you only need an argument. Just one, or two if your lucky. And you can justify anything to yourself. No matter how smart you are, if you want something to be true, you'll even overlook the real truth. And that's normal, people do that all the time. It's easier to ignore, than to admit that half of your life has been spent in the shadows you don't want to escape. You feel safe there, right? Say thank you God, i live to see another day.
Acknowlodge that while the idea seems nice, the practice has gone out of control. Now sip your coffee and continue talking about something else that won't start a fight between brothers.
