Recently I was reading through things I had typed up on my computer. Things about people. And things about myself.
One thing made me realise just how lucky I am to have them in my life, even though the context is different since the time I wrote it. But I think they've made a huge difference in my life, namely making me see myself properly and know more about myself. Soo thank you to you!! (:
One thing reminded me of what I heard someone had said about me, and this "someone" has only gotten closer to me since. I think that having known what they thought helped me realise stuff about myself, and though it's made me keep in check what I say, I think it's also allowed me to mature.
Another (few) thing(s) I read made me realise how much things have changed. How I felt about someone, and how that's changed. I used to have this person on a pedestal, which was probably the biggest problem. To me, this person could not have been a better person. Now I realise, that having placed them so high, after everything that's happened recently, it just hurt to see someone who I looked up to and idoled so much become someone I never thought they'd be, and having seen this decline and having realised that all was not how I thought it was, I feel I've grown, matured and now, I know who they are and how they affected me.
This person, I stuck up for so many times, against so many people. No matter how much this person hurt me, or held me back, I stood up for them, for every action they made. Even if I was standing up to myself. And as much as things have changed, I will probably still stick up for them if need be.
And they're not the only one. Just the one I had to do it for the most.
So, after that revelation, and after having gotten it off my chest, I feel much better.
Much happier.
The logical mind can never be happy with conjecture. It needs evidence for everything, a reason for everything, and everything must be explained.
A mind of faith will take people for their word, will believe anything.
What if it's a mind that is both logical and faithful?
then faith need not be backed by evidence, but! if evidence is provided contrary to the belief or faith, then everything will come crumbling down, with the need for a new faith or belief.
ReplyDeleteits hard, but you have to believe what you hear, until proven otherwise.
THAT is what a logically faithful mind does. what it IS.
