Rahsash Geldich Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 (edited) I don't mean to offend anyone with talking about God, and for goodness sakes, I'm not going to go around converting everyone. I just write this about faith in general, and what it can do for you. So many are drowning in the world It sometimes kinda makes me sick To know that there is blinding light But solutions don't always click. Why do people seek oblivion When all they want is love? They say there is no beauty left, What about the sky above? Why can't they take the idea Someone's watching over them, Wants to reach out and help? They are shoving away a gem. Because stop and really think What if someone really was? Someone is there with you, Reasonably doing things he does. So by all reason, don't worry He's in control and knows best Live your life to the fullest And he will take care of the rest. Everything that hurts you Isn't too much for you to bear Because if it really was, Why would God put it there? If you think you're ugly, You're dysfunctional, all wrong Know that someone made you Your parts He thought on long. Unburden your hearts from All that weighs upon your soul Faith is something that often Can re-make you whole.

Archaneus Posted February 11, 2003 Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Have you ever thought about the possibility that faith and god are just concepts created by our imaginations in an effort to put responsibility for our actions on someone else, or to feel like someone cares, or any other number of reasons? I just view god as a limiting factor in society. Sory, didn't mean to turn this into a philisophical discussion. I like the way you worded it, but as I stated above I don't care for the message presented. Regardless a good poem . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rahsash Geldich Posted February 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2003 Normally, I'm not overly religious or faithful, or even optimistic, but this week I made a goal to try to be positive and just trust. It might be my imagination, but good things are more apt to happen when you're looking up. ::purrs a bit, unable to explain it all in words well:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HopperWolf Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Arch: Have you considered that we naturally seek a God or some higher being because we Know it to be there, or we are designed to? Why else would every culture, while seperately evolving, always assume a religion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Portrait of Zool Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 I have personally had some rather inexplicable experiences that have 'opened my eyes' to things unseen, at least in so far as having to admit that my own limited senses are horribly inadaquate to solve the universe. I also am not going to endeaver to 'convert' anyone, but I will remind everyone that cynicism is a bias, just as much as any enthusiasm. Beautiful poem, Rahsash.
