III.27 Writing journal (A belief you have or used to have)

29/11/2019 - 2:14 pm to 2:28 pm - Writing diary number 27.

      Currently, I don’t have a special belief. I know that for lots of person it’s really important to can believe in somethings to support the difficulties in their lives, to see all the positive and the luck they have in their daily lives, or maybe to be reassure for the future. I don’t feel that need and I’m not sure that belief in somethings would help me for anything. However, I don’t put a judgement on the persons who deeply believe in somethings, because I think that have some believes or not depends a lot of the character, the personality and the past of a person. I understand that for some people, it can be really important and they need this to move forward. For example, I find it normal that in the Middle Ages, people were very religious and needed to believe in the existence of paradise or God, to support their very difficult living conditions.

If I go back in my past, I remember that I had belief in the existence of Santa Claus, of the Tooth Fairy who was going to pick up my teeth when they fell and that the Bells were distributing the chocolate eggs at Easter. But by getting older, I stop to believe in these legends and I became very rational. Therefore, today it’s difficult for me to believe in the karma, religion, or superstitions about what brings good or bad luck. It means that I will first try to find out why it is impossible, rather than how it is possible (to believe in it). I prefer to base myself on scientific explanations or to tell myself that this is not true, perhaps to avoid being disappointed when I discover that it doesn't exist (such as for example, for the non-existence of Santa Claus). Then I don't say that later, I won't have beliefs that will arrive in my life, and that I will never believe in anything. The future will tell me !
