Belief and faith in anything is almost impossible to explain; It's more of something you FEEL...and often more than one can explain. It is just that most of us NEED to believe in something greater than ourselves. Whether it be a lack of confidence in our own abilities, or just the fact that we KNOW we are not, totally, in control.
When we were younger, our Mom and Dad was always there to reassure us; tell us that all would be ok. We believed in Mom and Dad and that was good enough at the time. Suddenly, years later, we find WE are Mom and Dad. Now, WHY do we NOT feel the same secure feeling that our Mom and Dad provided to us. Was it all a little white lie to make us feel better. Now, we have to provide for our kids and what do we tell them?
There is evidence to say that since the beginning of time(or mankind, if you will) humans have always sought to explain our reason for existence. We BELIEVE we have become more educated, more knowledgeable, or EGOTISTICALLY speaking...superior to our predecessors. We, really, can only guess, as to how smart our ancestors were or what their lives were like. We so-called SMARTER humans are still trying to figure out and judge our animal counterparts. Many seem to think that animals don't have a thought process, as do we human beings. I couldn't really say, as I am not the animal in question. I am only THIS animal in question.
Around the world , beliefs and cultures vary drastically, as to WHAT or WHO we should look up to or believe in. Wars are fought and hatred abounds as to who is right and whose Creator is bigger or more powerful. If, for one moment, everyone would stop their quarreling and fighting and THINK about it...
I don't have the answers, anymore than the next can prove who or what is right, but IF(and I'm sure...something) created all of this existence(including us), I DOUBT that it was for the purpose of granting some unloving, misguided individuals the right to judge and kill at their pleasure. WHO..or WHAT would want to create anything,only to have it destroyed?
I don't understand ALL beliefs but somehow I think WHOEVER is in charge would prefer we work it out peacefully and love one another. As for the OTHER animals that we CLAIM to be superior to...I remember what my Granddad told me years ago: IF it is necessary to kill an animal, show it respect and DON'T make it suffer...We are ALL living beings and life is precious.
