Reverence of Faith

So I will probably do another post some time later on my stance of faith/spirituality. Talk it through as I genuinely believe that there is no such thing as static conviction. Our minds make little shifts and changes as our experiences influence.

But this post is not about me, this is once again about people infatuated with God. There are those whom I envy for their loyalty and seemingly line-drawn view of the world. The unknown makes me anxious and so the idea of being able to let go and let my path in life be decided for me would be nice. I cannot do that though because I make my own route. Anyway, that is not what I wanted to go into.

I find it to be wonderful that there are those people who feel God has drawn them to a higher good. It seems to be one of the strongest lures that pulls people away from this self center capitalistic society. People have become self sustaining, which is fine but they step over and even stomp down others to get there. Missionaries step away from their comfortable lives to help those in need. I do not believe in conversion but I believe that religion, Christianity and others, have put a lot of money and a lot of resources into places that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. It is a pity that diversity of belief has been lost some to the idea that people need to be 'saved' and converted but today most of the means justify themselves, despite the ends which I do not agree with. Food has gone to the starving and malnourished. Shelter to those exposed and especially health care. Sometimes just hope that human kind has not completely left them to fend for themselves.

My hats off and hands in the air (Deaf clapping) for those people who follow any calling to help others.
