I haven't written anything in a while but I'll do my best to stay on topic. Starting out, where do we belong? Are we ordered by our instincts to surround ourselves with those that are similar to us or is variety the answer? How long will it take before we find solid ground to stand on, good friends we can trust, and a relationship that doesn't have to be questioned every few days? Is it us or is it everyone else? And finally, what will become of us when we leave this earth.
There is no easy answers for any of the questions listed above. But to my best knowledge and personal findings, I'll show you my side of the spectrum. All humans want to love and be loved whether it be in a physically and emotionally committed relationship or just amongst a group of friends. Ultimately, we find ourselves clinging to those who show the most love or respect for us. In return, we do the same for them. So next time you ask yourself, "Am I changing the way that I am for this person or group of people", first think if it is an actual change of perspective and personality or if it is just a lifestyle and appearance change. What was once you will be you forever. Anything reminiscent of our past will follow us, trickling faintly behind us as we finish off our days here on earth.
In order to find solid ground to stand on, we have to first find reason to believe that it is now and always will be within our grasp no matter what travels we take on this earth. Unfortunately, true solid ground does not exist. What good is a life without trials? What good is a life where most lessons have gone unlearned? Solid ground is a figure of speech... therefore, we can chose either not to believe it exists at all, or we can believe in it and decide what can be considered as such (solid ground) and apply it to ourselves. Either way, you will still face a great amount of tests and trials so long as you exist.
Is it us or is it everyone else? Well the answer to this is quite simple. Every person is entitled to their own set of morals and a belief system to fall back on. The undecided are considered ignorant. But we will cross paths with those who have not only differing but also opposing beliefs than the ones we have. This is the divide. This is where similarities become null and void and the differences arise as problems, or a bad chemical combination as we might say. It IS us. Never is it them. Them including: he, she, it, him, her, or anyone/anything else. We are responsible for anything and everything that comes our way. Take care of yourselves and you wont have to be asking yourself questions like this every few days.
What happens when we die? Due to the nature of this topic and the vast amount of different beliefs about this question, I'm going to do what each and everyone of you should also do. Stick to what you know, no one can sway you until you find reason to completely drop your previous beliefs. But do not move from what you believe until you are completely sure. Also, do not try to interfere with anyone else's beliefs. This will only make them lose respect for you.
