Grr!
So, I think a few people were shocked about the Buddhist thing, but why does everyone always feel like they have to tare down my ideas before really taking time to think about them. This makes me happy and isnt that the real point of life, to find happiness and peace. Seriously, I feel at peace. I feel like I have answered many of the questions I had about life. So many years I struggled with trying to figure out what it is I am searching for. I tried to find this God that everyone here at AU talks about, but it never came. I never found it. I then began reading books about other religions, and for some reason Buddhism stood out to me. Because it stood out I began research and finding people who are Buddhist to talk to, and do I know a lot? No, but I am still searching and exploring. I do know that I cant keep searching for this so called God that everyone here is telling me about. I truly believe that there is no such thing. I am finally at peace with that. I have no regrets nor do I feel as if what I said is wrong. Never will I insult my friends for their beliefs and I am glad that they are happy, but I do feel as though its not real. It makes no sense to me. I will continue to research before dedicating my life to one particular religion, but I do feel something with my life that I have never felt before, and if that is wrong I would like to know why?
