FInd Your Way Pal

Everyone is a philosopher. If you think, you have an opinion, and you have some sort of perspective on how life should work. Or maybe your opinion is that opinions are irrelevant because they are unique to either nothing or everything. Either way, you have an opinion. Whatever your opinion is, you should follow it to your best ability. Nobody is perfect, you will cross the line at some point, but just use your belief as a general point of reference. Some people use religion. It's never fair to categorize a large group of people into one generalization, but for the average spiritual person, I believe they are looking for a guide. Something superhuman that has power to control their world. So, whether it be something good or bad, there is a reason. It's what that was supposed to happen according to that faith. However, not all religions require a super natural presence, some are more oriented in self righteousness or inner peace.  Non-religious people have many options. One is to believe in science. To believe nature controls the world around us. Or they can believe in self preservation, or in people working for a greater cause. But, they can also believe in nothing. Anyone can believe in nothing, and if you believe in nothing, you have nothing to work for, or focus on. You have no life. Whether you believe that life is created by you or someone else. And if you have nothing, you have no reason to live. But, everyone has a reason to live, you just need to find something you enjoy. A passion. But that's just the problem with not having a perspective. Another major problem is when you become overly focused on your own perspective. (Self-indulgent) If you believe in nothing and become depressed yourself, you are hurting only you and the people you care about. (Although by believing in nothing you are not automatically depressed.) However, not allowing other people to have their own ways of living and being respectful of their own ideology can be harmful. Now, if the other ideology is human sacrifice and you were roofied and wake up with a knife by your heart then that's a different story. But, if someone follows a different religion then you, it is possible to coexist. People are different, they come from different places and backgrounds. They have different genetic make-ups and different traditions. Each person may have a different method of living their own life. If it isn't hurting anyone, then let them live in peace. This isn't anything deep, it's just an ideal.
