random thought

i like to think you don't choose religion.

in a way, it chooses you.

you don't get to believe what you want, you find out what you actually believe. hence i happen to believe you shouldn't be influenced in that search by noone.

---edit:

of course, there is one fallacy in my reasoning, and i think it's clear: the phrasing starts from the supposition that "well, there actually is nothing out there" and it goes through "if you're honest with yourself you'll probably feel that on your own"  straight to "but if you want to believe in something just think hard about it and don't step on anyone else's individual thought-freedom". It's the only way this society can work... still, in fairness i thought of highlighting said fallacy.

I can see you (-you can see me)

What are you to do upon realizing that what you desire, your views on the world may be idealistical and darn right utopic?

Should you maybe tone them down a little, compromise to see what comes out of them combined to the real world... or perhaps stay true to them?

Life is a dynamic complex thing, and "compromises" are usually a decent way to go, they help finding common ground amongst ourselves as humans and in relationships... but what if that's not at all applicable with your society ideals? Should you continuously aspire to [your] "perfection"? Turn into a realist?

The "realities" of now are the people_from_not_long_ago's unimaginable dreams, and were they not to have them maybe we wouldn't be here. I'd rather stay true to [my dear] "utopia". There must be someone to dream and desire more.
