Interesting and thought-inducing question as always dear!! <3
I believe...
Let's state what I don't believe in first; I don't believe in the first thing that comes to mind when you say "believe": I don't believe in God. I'm not sure I even believe in a Great Force that moves the universe and that would not be Christian (or Jewish or Muslim) canon either.
I used to be a religious person, when I was very young, and then I came to realize that I don't need God, and if he really existed, what would he care whether I worshipped him or not?
Also, there is so much to see and try to discover in and around myself that I don't have time for God. I don't believe in him as an explanation either, because it would make me stop searching, and stop searching would mean stop living to me.
So, ultimately, I believe in my ability to put everything including myself, in question. And marvel at the mysteries of the human mind, of nature, of how the world works, because there is joy in putting everything in question, not fear; and that joy comes from neverending astonishment, which, to me, is the essence of life. I believe in human kind, even if it goes extinct in 50 years because of its own stupidity. I believe in curiosity. I believe in passion. I believe in poetry.
I'm with you on religion. I think I'm more of a "see and believe" kind of girl, when it comes to higher beings who control the Universe.
"I don't believe in him as an explanation either, because it would make me stop searching, and stop searching would mean stop living to me." That's such an insightful perspective! You seem like a very motivated, dedicated individual. I love your beliefs, because the way you described it makes it feel like an epiphany for me. (Does that make any sense?) I'm not sure about believing in human kind, but everything else? I'm a believer. Especially poetry. Even when it's written nonsense, I find more comfort and faith in poems than anything else. The first poem I've ever bothered to imprint in my brain--"Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost--speaks to me in such a powerful way. That poem opened my eyes to the cold reality of losing innocence, but in a way that didn't make me feel frightened and alone.
God, I'm rambling about poetry. I'm sorry. xD
But thank you for the comment, hun--and welcome (for the hugs); anytime! ♥
