The Lost and Unfound

I didn't hear a thing from that person that I tried to contact - shame.

Ho hum, life goes on.

I find that those nearest to me need support and yet I feel as if I might be as useful as a chocolate goose - whatever, I still seem to do some good and that is... good.

The more I dig into life the more I find about the effect of faith and belief on others - I begin to appreciate the value to others. That is, more than the "understanding" that I had, the plain fact that faith was of value like knowing that some people like cheese. I now begin to really see the power of it and begin to loose my disdain.

It is the faith itself that is of value - the faith in the right and the wrong.

So where does it go wrong?

Well, isn't that obvious?

Its when one person's faith says that another person's faith is wrong.

I wondered where the need for a psychological crutch came from - but perhaps we all have it. For some it is religious belief, or political dogma, or obsession with sport - for some we immerse ourselves in drugs and loud music.

My belief is that its is wise to choose a faith that exists within a context that provides for a good, fun and entertaining life that does not, by its strictures and restrictions, limit the enjoyment, fun and entertainment of others.

Thats hardly a new thought: the only thing prevented should be that which limits the freedom of others to act however they want provided they don't act in a way that limits the freedom of others to act however they want provided they eat ice cream and get into boppy music.

Enough extraordinary wisdom from me.
