The Problem is Choice...

I been thinking recently a lot about theology, religion, and what we are.
I mean, if you really look beyond the "veil" we wear;
the little hair-do's and clothing dont's -
arguments are made between mankind about things as trivial as what sort of music you enjoy -
something wholly personal; yet other people feel the need to interject their feelings upon you, and tell you that because they don't like your music, that the music you listen to is no good.
Everything is subjective. What that means is this;
Some people undoubtedly like Skrillex. Some think his music is garbage.
Some people really like pornography. Some people find it absolutely disgusting.
Some people actually like violence. I went out with a girl once that was an actual sado-masochist. These people exist.
some people like to meditate, and others are scared to even try.
No single opinion is right or wrong, whether it be from a book, preacher or parent, telling you otherwise.

The problem comes from people believing their own world view only;
because I'm English, other languages perplex me. Sure, I can speak a little French, a little German, a little Spanish-
But these languages were not indoctrinated into my psyche from a young age, and therefor are alien to me.
My mother, bless her heart, tried to instill in me a christian ideology, so I would be abetter person;
But had I been born in the middle-east, I would be indoctrinated instead into Islam.
Had I been born in the middle-east two thousand years ago,
I would have probably been indoctrinated into the worship of Marduk.
AND THAT'S FINE.

But there comes a time in our lives when choice - actual freedom to make up one's own mind and decide upon a course of action based upon this strategy - becomes a defining contribution to our future selves.
This is the crunch-point; a time and place in your existence when suddenly, and indescribably, you are alone.
But this need not be a bad thing.
Your journey here on this world, in this time, is an amazing adventure, and your decisions change not only the journey, but the outcome also. To make wise decisions, you must factor into account many different things.
But overall, your eventual happiness, rather than instant gratification, should be important here.
Today lasts twenty-four hours;
Your lifetime will probably last a fair bit longer.
So take five minutes today to actually think about what you want from life, and make decisions based upon your discernment.
After all, you only get one shot at being YOU,
and that in itself is a precious gift and opportunity.

Namaste, artists of the Earth.
You are all philosophers, and soldiers of freedom.
Remember that.

Very true, we all must follow our own personal identities.
