In
life, everyone takes a different path, but one thing I've found is that
there is truth to be found. 1+1 will always be 2. Nothing is constant,
everything changes around us and sometimes the truth we find is
something we don't like. What then do we do? What do we do when the
truth is unbearable? We hold onto what truths remain and we hold onto
the greater good in our mind. Regardless of your religion, I've found a
few things that we should at least hold onto and believe in.
Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things we
need to believe in the most.
1. That people are basically good. 2. That
honor, courage, and virtue mean everything. 3. That power and money mean nothing. 4. That good always triumphs over evil. 5. That true love never dies.
Even if in your own world, it seems like these are nothing but lies, these are worth holding onto.
When there is nothing to hold onto and nothing to live for, keep going for a hope that there will be something worth living for.
Even
if there is no heaven or hell, nothing after this life, there is still
this life. There might be nothing more, there might be more. The one
fact though is that the only possession you are guaranteed in life is
your life. Hold onto it for the hope of a better tomorrow even though
it might not be true.
Just because it's not certain that our
lives will get better over time, it's worth believing in. That's what
faith and belief are. Holding onto what you feel is the greater good in
the absence of evidence or evidence to the contrary.
