I have a question.
Why have you asked this and in other threads similar questions?
Are you seeking wisdom or are you simply looking for someone to say something that fits into a decision you have already made.
I am not attacking here; let’s say I’m getting to the heart of the matter.
In this topic it can touch onto peoples spiritual / religious beliefs.
All too often I run into people trying to convert someone to their way of thinking.
And all too often people will not read or dismiss wisdom found in particular books simply because they do not believe in that way of thinking.
But that way of thinking is a bit short sighted wouldn’t you agree?
For example, I am not a follower of Hindu, Wicca, Catholic, Baptist, Buddhist, and so on etc… faiths, but I have read much on these beliefs and have adapted tiny fragments of some of those beliefs into my life.
Why, because there is much wisdom between those topic pages.
Many people have commented that the wise sayings of Confucius are great and they have adapted some of those sayings into their lives.
So why do people toss aside the bible saying, “Oh, I don’t believe in G_D.”
Isn’t the wise sayings of Solomon found in the book of Proverbs, just as wise as Confucius.
Just because you study and read something does not mean you are of a particular belief. You can apply particular fragments of many beliefs to your own life.
Life is similar to climbing a tree and its branches.
You start at the trunk and you work your way upward.
The branches represent the decisions in life you must make.
Yes, some decisions are better than others, but there is no particular way to travel.
You have been given the gift of FREE WILL.
It is always up to you to choose which branch to climb next and every single branch leads to the same place; the end of the branch.
Like the old saying goes, ‘The journey itself is what makes life what it is’, not the end of the journey.
If you seek wisdom and knowledge do not purposefully put blinders on your eyes.
Take Care and Peace be with you.
