What is belief? What is religion? What is reality? What is life? Why are we here?
The basis of religion and belief is thought. Without thinking we probably would not exist. But we mightЎ Can it be that anything is possible? According to scientists we can only use a tiny portion of our brain. If we were able to use more what would we be able to do? I believe anything is possible. Just because something canЎЇt be explained doesnЎЇt mean itЎЇs unexplainable, it could just be unknown. If someone believes something contrary to you it doesnЎЇt mean theyЎЇre wrong, no, it just means there are more possibilities. An intelligent race should not be limited to one set of rules and laws.

There is no proof that anything is wrong or right. Anything is possible.
That is Belief. That is religion. That is reality. That is life. That is why we are.
What can I do? What have I done? How has this made me? What do I want?
I am who I am and I believe what I do because of my life, as does everyone. I have experienced things I could not explain, things that ripped me apart and things that lifted me to the sky. Because IЎЇve been wandering through life not caring for religion itЎЇs brought me to a point of objectivity when I really do wonder which side is right and which is wrong. When I wonder ÐŽoWhy is this the way it is?ÐŽ± Because of my experiences and outlook on religion, I have been shaped by my beliefs so that I appreciate anything. I appreciate any music, any religion, any personality, any situation and any person. This is how I would
