what you believe.

to understand yourself, you have to understand your life. turn off your television and start living some, or keep doing what you’re doing, and when you’ve had enough, you can begin.

the fact is, you’ll never know why you’re here. why are you here, on this earth, looking like this, feeling like this, thinking like this, and behaving like this? you’ll never know. and that’s why all you will ever have is belief. you will have to find a system of belief that explains, gives structure, logic and meaning – even if it’s the meaning of “no meaning” or “no logic” or “no structure.” believing in chaos, that everything is random, and that it’s all a big nothing – is a belief. either way, and eventually, you will have to pick a side or accept that you’ve picked a side. so, what is your belief?

humans are simple. they just want to know whether heaven exists, and if it does, is it available on earth? or does it come after? there are three options, and you’ll feel much better after you decide (or accept) what it is you actually believe. whether: [1] heaven is not real (that there isn’t one and/or we are meant to be happy never), [2] heaven is real and it is possible after death (meaning, it’s ok to be unhappy in life because the possibility is available after all is said and done), or [3] that heaven can exist on earth (that there is a way to be happy in this lifetime).

“heaven” and “happy” are the simplest terms we can understand (or at a minimum, are able to refer to) “what’s good” (which can be an extremely complicated topic, if you want) and you can choose one of the three beliefs. they are mutually exclusive and accessible with or without religion. all humans believe in something, and whatever you believe, you’ll be right.
