Pondering through my life in just a few moments I come up with a personal opinion on life, death, heaven and hell. 

Honestly, religion always made me think and question a lot. 

We all expire, everyone’s time will come but we are gifted with the opportunity to live. Be aware of where you are, take it all in. We mustn’t worry, we all face the end. Embrace the time you have here, build your own world. 

Your perception, I believe, influences the most in your life. 

Fear, hate, being guarded, and the lack of those who aren’t open minded can take over the mind real quick of an individual after a traumatic event or betrayal etc. 

Things will not always be good and vice versa with being bad. These experiences cause you to create it to be heaven or hell because of emotions and thoughts. 

Look, no one has to agree with me, I am just putting my opinion out there.You see, what I am trying to say is, i don’t know if there is a god or not, don’t push anything down my throat.

I have discussed about a lot of religion. I listen to that hope or “enlightenment” from others to hear what people believe in. When I talk about my spirituality and beliefs to someone with religion I feel judged and also have been told that I call myself higher than god or that it’s blasphemy and the. I’m spoken to very condescendingly.

Funny isn’t it? 

Those who speak to me as if I am thinking I am greater than god, go ahead and speak to me as if they are greater than me.

I listened and discussed with many people practicing many religions even with those who don’t believe in a god. Great theories, thoughts, beliefs and stories I have heard from all kinds of people. 

Those discussions with those who practice religion had few moments where I got to discuss about my beliefs before being cut off, got laughed at or ignored and spoken over. 

I’m not mad, but I’ll put this in perspective. Someone to point the finger at someone and say they are self-righteous, conceded, honestly anything along those lines and then turn out to be the one to boast about themselves preach what they believe about love, acceptance, forgiveness etc. Then go around and laugh at others beliefs…not going to waste my energy in an argument. 

You can talk over me or anyone else as loud as you want, doesn’t mean you’re being heard. Before you point your finger, dislike someone or disagree with someone, maybe listen for once..

If you listened to someone else for once you might see that simply being open minded, having basic manners and consideration can open up to an exchange of knowledge, experiences, thoughts, feelings and beliefs with another human. Leading to you helping them or them helping you. 

To those that have or will call me self-righteous for believing in myself, I must ask, would you rather expect someone to do everything for you? 

Think for you? 

Tell you when and how to do things? 
Sorry, I haven’t forgotten about my free will and I will be an individual and I will live and learn.

All I have to say is I’m the one listening attentively, comprehending conversations giving reasonable and valid responses. If you don’t want to listen and just have a one way conversation with yourself, you’re missing out. 

What I’ve seen, heard and felt throughout these encounters, experiences and conversations throughout life has only benefited for my own personal growth; Personal acceptance. 

I am enlightened.
