My Beliefs

I believe that there is the same chance that Buddha or Zeus exists as there is a chance that the god head exists. Which is weird because for 12 years of my life the people I know and have known have told me other wise. The mind is a powerful tool and can be molded to believe anything.

But Jared! That means there is not after life! What does that mean? Well, doesn't really mean anything, it just means that after we die the world keeps spinning. Our body decomposes and we become soil. Personally I don't mind, I just think its a better reason to learn how to live in the moment and become a better person over all. Because after all, we only have so many Sunday mornings!

Who I am now

It's been a blessing to have so many siblings. I learned from them and they taught me what it means to be human.

When there is no one that knows what you know

It's really refreshing to find the one person that understands. Love and gratitude and an understanding that you are enough. You are more than enough, you are you and it can only get better from there.

You can do Literally anything you want to do.

People toss this idea around sometimes and I never really understood it until recently. The first thing you have to understand is no matter where you go. No matter what you do, you will still be you. You won't magically change into some other person. You could change your name and move to some place no one knows you but you will still have your memories and thoughts. With this in mind what do you want to do? Think about it for a while and when you find out/ remember do the proper research and development it takes to do what it is you thought about. I could travel the world and write a blog about it using the money I earn from working online and then eventually from my blog. Or I could become a Buddhist monk and live a life of celibacy. I really cannot stress this enough, you can literally become an astronaut. Money is there for you to grab using imagination and applying yourself. Fear will always be there but don't act on it. It is only human to have fear. Life is so exciting and I am only beginning my journey. That is ridiculously fantastic to think about.

Responsibility to become someone that I respect

I am coming to understand that anything and everything I do today, will have a direct effect on tomorrow. All I am is a series of actions and if I don't control what I am doing, and try to become a better person. Then nothing will happen and I will digress back to a state of laziness.

The Arms of a Great and Loving Universe

We are in the arms of a great and loving universe that respects us and loves us. We will use that respect and love to grow as wonderful human beings to better the world we live on.

Not like anybody is reading this anyway

The TAB key doesn't work. I won't do paragraphs. In blog form they just look like I am trying too hard to please. That was my rant on formatting. Now on to what I wanted to originally write in my blog post. I had a thought, I realized that I don't believe in god. I don't know any thing about science, and I don't even know if I can trust my self. Imagine yourself in a dark room. You are a little emotional and you are not sure why. Your parents are sleeping in the next room over in the dark, and you are trying to figure out the meaning of life. Lets pretend you are like me and all of the before statements about god and science and faith are true. You realize, like me, that nothing can save you. You don't have god to pray to. You don't have science to rationalize your existence, and you don't know if you can trust yourself to come up with some wonderful solution to solve all your problems. We then decide we can choose 2 things. Optimism, or being pessimistic about it; you can either pretend the problems are not there or you can wallow in self pity and go to sleep in your room and hope that the problems don't exist any more.

I walked you through that because I wanted to see if you realized something before you were done reading. Did you see that there are no specific problems I am mentioning? Maybe it was weird that you were standing alone in the dark trying to figure everything out all at once, but all in all we realize that there is nothing we need to worry about. Christmas is upon us and the tree is actually lighting the room in a red glow. Which makes you think about your favorite warm beverage, and sledding with someone you really like.

The question is, for me; who needs saving?

My life is perfect the way it is.
