Beliefs

Some people believe that they are saved and that they will go to heaven when they die; others believe that they will reincarnate. Some belong to destructive religious cults and follow mad cult leaders, like sheep who are followers of wolfs; others belong to fanatic political organizations.

Ordinary decent Germans became enthusiastic Nazis, noble and honorable English gentlemen became slave traders, and devout Christians in the American Southern States became merciless slave drivers. They believed that black people were animals that must be treated harshly.

Some believe that they are ugly and useless losers; others believe that they are wonderful top predators. Some believe that the meaning with life is to become rich; others believe that nothing is more important than to be slim. Some believe in the law of the jungle; others believe in equality and justice.

Is it possible to live one's life without being guided by beliefs? I don't think so.
It's very sad.
