Faith

Mankind is fallible

Easily corrupted

And manipulated

Easily herded into group mentality

Easily blinded by fear and anger

Which is why I like to ask why

When presented with rules, norms, customs, etc.

God

Is pure

Is love

Is all encompassing peace

And I have faith

True faith

And faith needs no explanation

I don’t care why

I have no idea

Why I am here really

I have vague existential nuances that have guided me towards certain beliefs

Are they 100% fact?

No clue

They’re what I go by

Only because nothing else seems any more credible

I have my own journey to navigate 

Is it a journey of some grand purpose?

Is it just happenstance?

Is it pure fiction?

Who knows?

Who cares?

I don’t 

I don’t care about the grand ultimate scheme of why

Because in reality

Asking the question doesn’t lead to a change in what I am trying to accomplish here

And that is

To be happy

To be at peace with myself

With my choices

To make the most out of it

Whatever this is

Whatever I have before me

I do stumble 

I do make mistakes

But I go on

Knowing 

Beyond a shadow of any doubt 

That this moment and what I make of it

Is far more important than ruminating over any existential conundrum will ever be

Which is what I think people overlook

The simplicity of that

Just right here

Right now

What do I chose?

Me.....personally...I:

Chose happiness

Chose peace

Chose forgiveness

Chose acceptance

Chose compassion

Chose love

Right now in this moment 

Letting everything else fall by the wayside

The past

The future

All irrelevant to my now

So ask yourself 

Who do you chose to be now?
