Alright. So the religion challenge is over. Overall I learned that no matter what religion or belief you choose to partake in- the majority of them have the same basic ideas.
Love they neighbor
Respect thy self and each other
Don't tell lies or speak ill of each other
To find peace you must search yourself
Give thanks for your blessings
Help others who need it
All is full of love
Do not cheat or steal
Be respectful
Believe and have faith
So really, no matter what it is you choose to believe in essentially the ideas are the same. Love each other, be gracious, find peace within yourself, and take the time to search your self and your soul. This week I learned that I still am terrible at meditation, that self control is harder when you are trying not to swear. That some things are easier said then done (especially when you have been a certain way all your life), and that donating a whole HUGE garbage bag of clothes to the Salvation Army not only feels good- it also clears the clutter from your closet and your life. I know religion is such a sensitive subject, and that really bothers me. I mean, really? The subject that starts so many wars comes down to the same basic ideas. Who cares who is right? At least that is what I think. Can't we just embrace the fact that we are all right in some way..Love each other, help each other, and most importantly just believe that things are bigger than us and that we may not always have the answers but we can find peace within ourselves- if and when we try.
