As I mentioned in my last post, I'm not a religious person, but I was honored with an experience with one. I came up with my own version now that I've been given a little more insight. Here goes:
I sort of believe in the "Pay it Forward" type thing. God is in all of us, we make him, he is the common good. In a way, what it is is doing good towards others. Some people master it, such as that girl I mentioned. She is totally fulfilled in her life and, even if she comes across obstacles, she soon finds another opportunity, and she sees it as God's intervening force. Everything has a reason, good will always be found if searched for. Its really a beautiful thing.
I generally have a bad opinion of religion due to some of the stupid things it makes people do. Such things include discrimination, superiority complexes, religious wars, violence, etc. Some people just take religion in such a terrible way that it makes it kind of sickening.
But for some people it works. I view life as a white board. You need to figure out what you want to accomplish in life, what you want your end point to be, and draw a path towards it. Find your purpose. This girl has made Christianity and the common good her purpose, and she's a stellar example of a rare instance gone right.
