We all must ..suspend disbelief from time to time to make fantasy possible and I would argue that we must do this daily. Some things are just hard to believe , evidence is sparse and flimsy , so we hold our judgments and we suspend outright disbelief in hope that something more convincing comes along.
It is utter madness to me that a thing as simple and prudent as discernment is tossed aside so willingly..when it comes to social media.
The things we do not want to believe are easy to deny and with a quick search we can provide evidence for our preferred point of view the problem is someone else prefers another point of view and not only that
but they too have searched the internet and found evidence.
I believe ..that religion is based on suspension of disbelief and I am sure some people will argue with me that it is based on fact and proof and evidence . But most religious books preach of the wonderful one day when all will be revealed if we only believe now we will see later..
There is also something comfortable in the position of faith.
It really does not require proof it is like a lovely little placebo and that is not always bad because sometimes we just need to feel something good is on the way so we can get through the here and now.
But as for me I know deep down I am always rowing the boat and the sea on which we sail is unpredictable .
The thing that moves me through is simple ... their are no favorites and no hated children
There is just the nature of what is.
It seems simple enough.
All things moving in the sphere of our earth and beyond..I do not know..how it all works
I suspend disbelief in many things like ghost and miracles ..I chose to hold the possibility
in my mind of many things ..
I used to believe in the Bible and God..I thought I did ..but not really at least not the God of religious teachings . I will pray for you if you ask as I still believe that there is something positive of about offering a moment of solidarity to a person in need .
I am a moral person and just as I would not believe that a person was made moral by religion I would not believe the lack there of would make them immoral.
I have been asked by people who are religious and find comfort in it,, how do non religious people find that peace and is as good as that which you find in religion?
Here is my answer.. it is right here in my writing and my relationships with others
in the love I have for them in the beauty I see in them and in nature .
it is in my belief that we hold that comfort not outside of us but within .
That we spiral out...
It seems fair enough and it makes me really happy to think of all that magical stuff waiting to be activated .. from within .. I do not feel weak like I am waiting on something..I feel as though it is here already ..I do not feel afraid of offending a creator that is super sensitive and does not truly understand me.
When I was religious I still suffered fear doubt and all the other things it was supposed to save me from ..I had to suspend disbelief
But I knew it was coming ....the time when I would not believe it all and that belief should be fluid and free.
I can not promise you a unbreakable heart or spirit
But I know true joy is a moment and a moment is spontaneous.
