The bittersweetness of religion
What is religion if not solace
What is religion if not comfort?
It is chains and shackles that bind me
It is force that holds me back from my potential
But is it not comfort, that there is something grander, more meaningful in the distance?
For some that may be the case, for radicals it is a tool used to apply pressure, a rallying cry for insecure men to justify their barbarism, a veil for weak women to cower behind
The question then is, why is that?
Interpretation. Simple. Or so I think
Meaning the ways in which it can be understood are as many as the number of humans that reside on the planet, and then even they have conflicting understandings that fluctuate like the weather, different every day of the week
Is it not astounding though, that despite the oceans of difference in opinions and interpretations of these religions, that they have withstood the test of time? then is there not something more to it?
Some would say it has withstood because humans are built in a manner where they need answers, the curious ape would go crazy if at the end of his existence was oblivion
In essence the true beauty of life is faith, faith in either a Omnipresent being or faith in nothingness
Such is the bittersweetness of religion
