Day 19

What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics?


First off, I don't think of politics. I don't care. If that makes me a "bad, uninformed citizen" then fine. Label me. But I don't like wasting my time on things I think are boring and stupid. I just don't care. Sorry. And yeah, this means at any given time I don't have the slightest clue at what's happening in the world. Get over it.

Religion, on the other hand, is something I do everyday. It brings satisfaction to my life, so it's worth the time.

Religion is a funny thing. Okay, not like "laugh out loud" funny, but peculiar thing. I'm very religious. I think that most of my actions are based off of my core beliefs that I have learned through my religion. And I can understand other people's opinions that religion is a made up thing. Actually, I think most religions are made up by random bored people. But I won't get into that.

My time in nursing school has taught me a lot about spirituality. I have a lot of close friends in my class that do not believe what I believe. And even in class we have had lessons about spirituality as related to our health. I am of the opinion that every person on this earth has some sort of spiritual connection to something.

It can be a religion, a belief, found through meditation, pondering, yoga, communing with nature, praying to Gods, through love. But I believe that all people are spiritual beings and just like we have to eat and sleep and breathe to stay alive, we need to have some sort of spiritual outlet to keep balance within ourself.

This being said, I want to just let you all know how grateful I am for my religion. I believe and know that it is true. And it has made me a better person.
