So I struggle with the coming together of relationships (between parents and children, spouses, siblings, friends etc.) and religious beliefs because a lot of the time the person who has a stronger belief is hard to rationalise with, they tend to have narrow-minded visions and are so staunch and firm in this view that should you say anything logical which would appeal to any other mindset it only infuriates them (and makes them even more stubborn). The same goes with religion and the state. I believe none should actually ever mix because it causes a conflict of interest and also does more harm than good - driving people apart rather than bringing them together as it tends to highlight differences rather than similarities.
I like to think of myself as a good person. Sure, only God can actually judge me, but I tend to follow my heart and instinct and listen closely to my conscience. I try to keep my moral compass attune to what is right and wrong and seldom stray off the path. When I do I can usually forgive myself and/or justify my actions. The rest is between me and my God. Yet people love to judge, don't they? Everyone thinks it's their business...
Well that led me to these quotes today...
