I
think you can tell a lot about a person by their ideology. In fact, I think
what you believe in says a lot about you as a human being. Naturally, as I read
and ponder about everything from what other people believe in to why I don’t,
it got me to thinking about what I do (believe in that is) -- especially since
I am a card-carrying Atheist. And even though I don’t believe in <insert
your deity of choice here>, that doesn’t mean I don’t believe in anything.
Indeed, quite the contrary.
As
part of my iHappy project, I began jotting down a few things that I believe.
So, without further ado, here they are. Who knows, you might even believe some
of the same things…
I
believe…
1. That everyone has the
capability of being good and evil, and that they choose which one they are
going to be.
2. In choosing not to acknowledge
people who do evil to me or to others.
3. That happiness, success and
joy all come in different forms, and with different definitions for different
people.
4. In living and letting live.
5. That I don’t know everything.
6. That I don’t have all the
answers.
7. That you don’t have all the
answers either.
8. In the beauty of making just
one someone laugh. Every day.
9. That not everyone has to
like me.
10. That my past doesn’t define me, but my future will.
11. That focusing on the little stuff, only leads to little solutions.
12. In trying to be a better person than I was yesterday.
13. That people deserve to be treated the same way they treat me. Good and
bad.
14.That assumptions say a lot about you. Yes, just you.
15.That ignorance runs deep.
16.That the reasons you say you can’t are just excuses in disguise.
17.That life is really what you make it.
18.That I am not perfect, and I never will be.
19.That you aren’t perfect either.
20.That I can give you room to be imperfect.
21. That doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but it is always right.
22. That having people I love surround me is worth more than a million
haters.
23. In true love.
24. In happiness.
25. In hope.
26. In my country, but not in my leaders.
27. In changing the world, one person at a time.
28. That everything starts at home, both good and bad.
29. That I am my own best friend, and worst enemy.
30. That you are too.
So
now that you know what I believe in, what is it that you believe in?
