I came across this quote a while back and it kinda just “hit me” in the gut. “The most destructive thing I’ve ever done is believe someone else’s opinion of me” I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this quote… How many times, in our lives, people put us down and bully us without knowing the full story?

This is why religions of all kinds sprung up at an early stage of our human evolution. Our souls needed something to believe in. Weather we believe in a supreme energy, a God of some sort, our souls evolving and learning, or even if we believe in nothing and are just muddling through, any kind of way we decide to survive it’s the right path for us as long as it works in getting us through it to the other side of understanding, acceptance and healing. I suppose my gripe is how some religions decide to throw certain kinds of people under the bus, in an effort to elevate ourselves. I never understood that. Aren’t religions supposed to bring us together? Aren’t religionsRead More →
