"Nowadays, a lot of people want to be prodigies of their religious theologies, ignoring factual oddities in favor of who a book says they ought to be. It's not that exploring one's beliefs shouldn't be an odyssey, but why take the trip if the directions are sold with impunity like black market commodities? Make no mistake, I believe in the power of faith; it's what gets most people through to another day. I'm just saying that while religious figureheads often teach one thing, spirituality shows another way. Knowledge of the world through myself is what I pursue, picking up Mother Nature's cues by being a young man of virtue. Rather than read and practice mimicry, I choose to believe that happiness comes from spiritual symmetry between understanding what's going out and appreciating what's coming into me. Peace is a condition of the mind; when one can find balance between space and time. The heart is ironic; it is the common thread that sets us all apart. We're all on different paths with different beats. Love is hearing one song with two different beats, forging one path with two different streets. Believe in what you will, there's no right or wrong. Just beware of those who use faith as a way to procure money alone."
