element almighty

been thinking about life, recently. dunno why though.

watched an episode about astronomy. it tells of stars an planets an solar systems an galaxies an universe an multiverse an sh**.

got enlightened, anyhow.

so now i'm perplexed, trying to get a bird's eye view of us mortals, and our mythos and dogmas.

does everything we do, really matter?
what if religion failed, like what is happening now to some?
what if you discover that there really is no soul? and that when we die, we disappear forever into the void, becoming only energies of what was once beautiful and amazing and great?
what if what used to be a great idea diminished and is now obsolete?
what if your set of beliefs and ideals turned on you?
what is really out there for us to discover?

i ask myself these questions most of the time. although it's increasingly hard nowadays, unlike when i was still young.

it happens a lot to people. it's the age. it's getting to us.

kids have a lot more imagination than we do. smart kids, that is.
i used to be smart and all, way back when i was a kid.

now i'm a disgruntled and unretentive gentleman trying to get a glint of what was once great and happy and carefree.

anyway, i figured, we have to believe in something. and it does not matter whether it is true or not. as long as it's beautiful, and righteous, and happy. because, as i've learned, these things are worth believing in.

so if you believe that there is a god, keep believing.
it's not that there's no harm in believing, but because it's worth believing something.

if you don't, at least believe in love, friendship, peace, and in everything righteous.

faith, is stronger than all the other forces combined.

the element almighty.
