Believe It or NotFollow

A person believes various things at various times, even on the same day. At the age of 73, I seem most instinctively to believe in the human value of creative writing, whether in the form of verse or fiction, as a mode of truth-telling, self-expression and homage to the twin miracles of creation and consciousness.
………~Novelist John Updike

I believe in the 50-percent theory. Half the time things are better than normal; the other half, they are worse. I believe life is a pendulum swing. It takes time and experience to understand what normal is, and that gives me the perspective to deal with the surprises of the future.
………~Farmer Stever Porter

I believe that the world is inherently a very dangerous place, and that things that are now very good can go bad very quickly.
………~Former Congressman Newt Gingrich

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the Mysterious -- the knowledge of the existence of something unfathomable to us, the manifestation of the most profound reason coupled with the most brilliant beauty. I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, or who has a will of the kind we experience in ourselves. I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with the awareness of -- and glimpse into -- the marvelous construction of the existing world together with the steadfast determination to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature.
………~Physicist Albert Einstien

You are not familiar with my voice, but my friend Polly Thomson will interpret the belief I have written from my soul. I choose for my subject faith wrought into life apart from creed or dogma. By faith, I mean a vision of good one cherishes and the enthusiasm that pushes one to seek its fulfillment, regardless of obstacles. Faith is a dynamic power that breaks the chain of routine, and gives a new, fine turn to old commonplaces.
......~Author and Activist Helen Keller

I believe I need coffee, or a couple more hours of sleep.

What do you believe?

I believe that there will always be some things that can't be explained with science.

I believe that everything always happens for a reason.

Because I'm amazingly shallow?

I believe I can fly

Now watch me jump off this clif...

I believe that a Guinness with dinner makes every day a little better.

I also believe that people are inherently good.

bullsh[i]it because simply they can.

How much of a difference is there in "assigning" meaning and "finding" meaning?

It was his buisness until he created Me.
Then it became my business.




Why is that? Do we not currently, in a living state, participate in the the functions of the universe already? Are not our minds and bodies integrated into the fabric of the universe already?

Waht would dying have to do with it?
