I'd Call it Nearly Perfect
So I'm Buddhist now?
I've been in religious free fall for a while now, two years maybe? I finally got the balls to take a step back from everything I've ever been taught. The knowledge, logic, and intuition were already there, I just needed to grow a pair. o-o
Never liked religion. "Why do I need boundaries on my beliefs?" That's exactly what religion does. When you identify with one you can't associate with anything outside of that and automatically, everyone who doesn't follow that religion is wrong.
There is no wrong and right in a spiritual sense. No of us know, we just don't. And so there can really only be an "I believe" rather than "I know."
But for some reason we never get this.
So I threw religion aside and simply lived as Zai, not as a Christian, or a Muslim, etc.
I've developed my own code of ideas, morals, and philosophies on life and thereafter. I suppose I could be called a Zaiist? xD
Though I've found that I really like Buddhism. It's a philosophy, rather than a religion, and it's so....... something. I love Buddhist coms, not just for the enlightening discussions, but also the energy. The vibes are so zen. Just talking with others I get this calm, levelheaded meditative state. It's amazing.
I can't exactly call myself a Buddhist yet; still lots more research to be done. And I may never, simply because labels make the world go round, and I'm on the quest to freeze it in it's place. ;D
But I like where I am in life.
I really do. ☆
