Above is a picture of my airsoft gear. I decorate the helmet with what defines me as who I am: around my core beliefs. The holster is what I posses, my morality. The weapon is what I attack with against my life and problems. The goggles remind me of the importance of perspective. The helmet reminds me of infinity and fate in my life.I believe in the three things that makes us human: Fate, Infinity, and Conviction.
ETKA/Fate - Belief and perception that you shape your destiny and it shall shape you.
AYLOYSTAT/Infinity - There shall be no bound to any established concept of action.
MESION/Conviction - Heed the translation of your power from mental to physical, with full force and devotion to its origin.
When they ask about my religion I tell people I'm agnostic. When I tell them what I believe in, it seems more and more that people either don't care or really think it's stupid. That's just it isn't it? Human nature.
When this happens, I think about what Albert Einstein once said:
"True religion is real living; living with all one's soul, with all one's goodness and righteousness."
The unspoken truth is that nobody acts on this anymore. No respect or morality that comes with daily life. It is rare. We see racism, intentionally and unintentionally. Since the beginning of time war has been fought over religion. The crusades are more or less a perfect example. Am I saying it is right or wrong? No.
I'm asking how we got here. What happened to the ideals that we were brought up with? Tolerance, Peace, Love? It just seems to disappear overnight when nobody else your age is doing it. Is that the problem? Peer Pressure?
I would never disrespect your creed. Is it wrong to ask you not to disrespect mine?
