Life is about passing a spiritual test


We go when our time is up.

God...

a human need…we are all human after all…we need to believe in something higher than ourselves, so we can have hope for the future…do I believe in God?…yes, my own God, the one that makes sense to me…religions are a divider…turning people against each other…they all lead to the same thing, God…but we have to turn on each other defending the same thing, God…which God is Wright anyway?…does it matter?…I bet God is looking at us laughing or pulling his hair out…where is this world coming to?…is amazing how often we think of God when everything is moving smoothly …but the moment everything goes wrong we all of a sudden, remember there's God…and miraculously enough, God, does appear to save us…is it really God's act?, or is it our subconscious mind, the strength we never thought we had?…when we pray to God, we ask for strength, strength to move on...God can not help us without our help...if you think that God is going to come and make it all better, then you're setting yourself up for a disappontment... someone once asked me, an ex of some sort, if I were to marry a guy outside my religion would I convert, or would the guy had to convert? …I see no need to convert, and I am not the most Greek Orthodox person around, no offence…my religion is my childhood, is all the memories and all the holidays, and no one can take that away from me, I am not that selfish to ask that from someone else…

I have this little...

theory about life, we enter this world alone, everything that happens around us, revolves around us, is a part of the process, our school. We can choose to learn and evolve or we can let it slip by us, "a coincidence that can be meaningful to me, at the same time can be utterly lost on the other"…but, it's ok, because it is all  about what I’ve learned…sounds selfish, I know. But, if I am pure and fair in my interactions with people, then I have a good relationship with myself, so as selfish as it may sound, at the end of the day I have to answer to me because it's my school…and if I have a good relationship with my GOD, then I have a good relationship with myself…I truly believe that we do pay for our sins here, everything we put out there comes back to us…the only bad experiences in life are the ones we don’t allow ourselves to learn from…I never understand people who don’t allow themselves to learn, who waste so much of their time complaining about little stupid things, instead of letting them go. It's done, move on…But then someone can argue with me and say, you’ve experienced death…yes, true, I did loose the most important person and in my life and yes that did change a thing or two…I had to survive and I had to find new definitions in my life… and instead of sitting home and feeling sorry for myself, I chose life…I chose to see the beauty, the timing, and the importance of it all…it is a school and we can choose to be present and feel it all or we can numb it, let it pass by us…honestly, I don’t know when my time will be up, and there are days that I feel a bit bad that I wasn’t present in half of it, that I did miss so much, but I was given a second chance…and I have to believe that there was a reason for it, there was a reason of it all…
