I watch people as they seek happiness. They lay their confessions down about how their religion has changed their life, and they continue to swear that if you will just take a moment to seek out what they have found, your life too will be changed.
They act as if they can not be good parents, lay down drugs and alcohol with out having a confession of some kind, in order to prove that they are full of faith.
But I have often found these people as good nature-d as they attempt to be, as full of faith as they claim to be, they are often lacking in faith. Faith of the highest extent, Faith in themselves. They are so busy, extending their faith to a deity, and trying to be what their religion dictates them to be, that they forget to use reasoning, of what is right and wrong.
They lash out and hurt others, and forget to ask forgiveness from the ones they hurt, but ask it from their deity, leaving them to appear heartless, and less than caring individuals to others.
I walk a spiritual path, with myself. Constantly seeking faith in me. Looking for the way that I can better myself, and remind the ones around me, that they are and can be as full of love as the next person. Why people have this conclusion that a God is needed to be a good person I do not know? I know I am a good person, and I am my own God, I have faith in me, and I have faith in my family and friends, and my legacy of whom are my children.
When I fuck up I admit I have done so, when I admit it, I do not pray for forgiveness, I ask for it from the ones that I have wronged. To me that makes me a good person, because I admit that I am not perfect because I have a god, but I am perfect because I understand that I have imperfections. To me that is the start of living a life with out judgement of others, is to understand I have no business telling someone else how to live, because I am imperfect..
Knowing that I am imperfect makes me spiritual, seeking out the positiveness of my family, of my life, of my friends, of the world around me, and I have found more positiveness with out a God than I ever had with one..
So am I spiritual, yes, but my form of spirituality, is knowing that I am me, and I am happy with that, it is connecting with the world, it is gazing at the sunset, watching flowers bloom in nature. Loving those around me.. That is Spirituality for me!
